Jori Hulkkonen

2008 has been a busy year for Jori Hulkkonen; so far the year has seen the
release of his 9th artist album, Errare Machinale Est, for F communications,
re-release of his classic collaboration with Tiga as Zyntherius, Sunglasses
At Night, which topped again the German Clubcharts and Beatport, bunch of
remixes for the likes of Kid Cudi, M83, Presets, Robyn, Kiki&Sasse and Dave
Seaman.
In addition to the DJ- and live gigs he has also been busy with his
high-concept Acid Symphony Orchestra shows claiming more and more interest.
Currently working on his next album due to release in 2009 on the Canadian
label Turbo, he's also had time to work on the next Tiga album as producer
and co-writer.
Other projects in the pipeline among many others include the long awaited
album from Discemi, Jori's collaborative effort with long time musical
partner Tuomas 'Phonogenic' Salmela.

Third in the series of my SidLovesTurbo podcasts is now available in here. To celebrate the re-release of the Tiga & Zyntherius (yes it's me) "Sunglasses At Night" on Turbo recordings now in August, included in the podcast is also one of the new slamming mixes by Black Devil Disco Club. Other mixes come from Alter Ego, D.I.M., Popof and Konrad Black.

In the podcast you'll be also able to hear my forthcoming remix of Kid Cudi's Day'N'Nite.

And if you missed the first two shows they're still available here and here.

• John Foxx is releasing a new Best Of compilation in September 2008, and amongst such classic tracks as "Underpass" and "Europe After The Rain" you will also find the 2005 Jori Hulkkonen collaboration "Dislocated".

• There's a cool new interview by Robin Harris on the Metamatic -website regarding the John Foxx -collaborations, but also the new album, the "noCD"-policy and many other current subjects.

There's a pretty cool interview here where you'll find me talking about my recent album 'Errare Machinale Est', technology, songwriting, Finnish electronic music scene...

• On the remix front after the well received CHROMEO "Bonafied Lovin" re-jam watch out for ROBYN "Be Mine!", THE PRESETS "This Boy's In Love", M83 "Couleurs", JAQEE "Castara Blues", BRIDGET "Dearest", and KIKI & SASSE "Belvedere" getting the JH treatment.

My new album ERRARE MACHINALE EST is out now through F communications / PIAS. On vocal duties you will find Justine Electra, John Foxx, Ebb, Jimi Tenor, Jerry Valuri, Nick Triani and Ernesto. Check out my myspace for audiosamples.

It is available in three formats:
as digital download (iTunes, Beatport...),
as a limited edition Finland-only CD (however if you are located outside FInland but still want the CD check out recordstores such as recordshopx, stupido or 8raita who are happy to supply you with a copy),
and naturally as a very beautiful DLP vinyl which -as usual -will be slightly delayed, and hit the stores worldwide on april 7th.

NOTE!!! The limited edition Finnish CD is missing a track/the sleeve has a bonus track not found on the CD, whichever way you want to see it.
"Tullihenkil�" (Customs Person) is not on the actual CD. This is a mistake by the distributor PIAS. To compensate, downloading is enabled on myspace, both on my and F communications sites, or get a 320kbs mp3 from here.
I am very sorry -and upset - about this, please accept my most sincere apologies.
