known for his tracks’ inclusion on kompakt mix cds by triple rand & tobias, finnish tech-house prodigy sami koivikko flirts with disco in his roiling rhythms and drops deep, foreboding electro basslines that dare you not to dance. the a-side bounces playfully while something quite sinister hides underneath, slowly emerging from the darkness as the track unfurls. “dore” offers straight-up techno disco bliss, spattering glitches on its rhythmic canvas, and “pientare” weaves plenty of textures into its driving beat, from a vaguely industrial bass buzz to a cavernous chiming melody, with the clever fusion of old- and new-school that gives koivikko his own conistently strong voice.
