Redruth Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 "Following two intriguing white label 12” EP’s for the label, the mysterious Arctic producer known only as Ukkonen delivers his stunning debut album on Uncharted Audio. His credentials are clear, even if his origins aren’t – apparently a background steeped in classical composition in a remote area of Finland and ‘pretty much zero interest in dance music’ somehow led to the production of his ‘Erriapo’ and ‘Spatia’ 12”’s , which were charted and supported by the likes of Agoria, Ame, Colin Dale, Norman Nodge (Berghain/Ostgut Ton), Terry Mitchell and Vince Watson – and left critics comparing his unique non-linear grooves to the likes of Gas, The Sight Below, Mark E, Aphex Twin, Brian Eno, Carl Craig, Mika Vainio and Isolee. Invited to remix electronica man-of-the-moment Patten by his label, heads were further turned by a pair of mixes delivered for No Pain In Pop and Underlying Form. These were not your average ‘DJ sets’ – instead he set about ‘Ukkonising’ a selection of classic Detroit techno tracks, re-editing them into his trademark off-kilter time signatures whilst somehow retaining all the original soul and groove. Structured into five distinct suites featuring ever-morphing motifs, the album pays no regard to the standard conventions of techno and house music – yet ultimately this is what Ukkonen creates. Sometimes it takes an outsider to become a pioneer – to create something utterly unique and absolutely refreshing. Packaged in individually hand-painted sleeves in a strictly limited edition of 300 double 12” packs, attention to detail is the watchword throughout." "The man himself says: 'It is a cliche to describe an album as being a journey, but in this instance I don’t mean it in a spiritual sense. This album represents physically traveling'." http://unchartedaudi...ted-rhythms-of/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reinventions Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 He did a mix for mnmlssgs a few months ago as well that's pretty dope. http://mnmlssg.blogspot.ca/2012/04/ssg-special-ukkonen.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reinventions Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I ordered the vinyl yesterday and didn't have any issues then wanted to change the shipping address but got an error message. Glad I could be of little to no help here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Finally managed to order it. This will probably end up among the top albums of the year for me. Unique sound yet familiar. Top banana. Ordered the earlier 12s as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kone R Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks very much for the support on this release, we really appreciate it! It's out in all the shops now, both physically and digitally. Sorry to hear about issues with the UA shop, that is very frustrating - if anyone is still encountering problems, please report it to the shop providers - support@bandcamp.com Mailout blurb is below.... thanks again! Ukkonen's debut LP "The Isolated Rhythms of..." is out now. Following two critically acclaimed and fast-selling white label EP's for the label, the album drops after several months of manufacturing delays, but we think you'll agree it's been worth the wait. Available digitally and on a limited edition double 12" pack, cut at Abbey Road in London and wrapped in individually hand-painted sleeves, it consists of five extended pieces of his trademark sound, techno from the farthest reaches, constantly reshaping itself. Listen in full and order here (remember our shop is the only place you can get a free instant download when you purchase the vinyl) - and don't dilly-dally, this has been the fastest selling release in our entire catalogue to date! http://shop.uncharte...ated-rhythms-of Watch out for gold figures on the sleeves! There aren't many around but if you get one, you have the opportunity to own an exclusive Ukkonen artwork, so get in touch if you find one. Also we'd love to see what sleeve you got - submit a photo of your artwork to the Ukkonen site and compare with others here: http://ukkonenfanclu...f/album-photos/ The album is also now available from all good music retailers including (but not limited to) Bleep, Juno, Norman, Phonica and just about every digital retailer there is. Press: "A solution to the problem of dance music" Wire magazine "A bright, strange future of techo.. wonderful" mnmlssgs "Sucks you into its world completely" Sonic Router "An all-encompassing soundscape that leaves you feeling aurally nourished... the results are worth marvelling over" Zap! Bang! "Thoroughly exciting music" Cyclic Defrost "Meltingly delicious" Metro "Impressive and slightly otherworldly" Plain & Simple "Immediately stood out as something special" Gridface "Refreshingly good and diverse electronic music" Data Transmission "An excellent and unique release" Exclaim More praise for Ukkonen: "Masterfully deep house music" Bleep "Stylish and understated" Trebuchet "A cushioned and indistinct microcosm" Connexion Bizarre "Excellent... wonderful... highly recommended" Norman "Quite unlike anything you can really place your finger on" Boomkat "Hypnotism and polyrhythm to delight the most discerning ears" DJ Mag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
