Husky Rescue

Husky Rescue are a five-piece band from Helsinki, Finland. The music they play is their own special blend of fragile folk, cinematic moods and up-tempo rock you can tap your feet to. Unlike the current vogue for singer-songwriters who tell stories about things happening that start and end in the real world, they love musical tales that open doors to other worlds with no specific destination or conclusion in mind.

IJO

The beginning stages of IJO’s musical career took place in the intersection of dark ambient, drum’n’bass and drill’n’bass styles. Later the talented producer moved on to exploring the more accessible easy listening, ambient and IDM territories (though not renouncing his personal attachment to twisted drum’n’bass). Yet even this lighter musical material bore the traces of his experiments with darker and heavier styles, manifested in syncopated polyrhythmic beats and carefully crafted atmospheres.
