5.7. DJ Jori Hulkkonen
From the edge of Europe comes a child of the plastic age, a man of the final hour.
Finland's Jori Hulkkonen has never been the one to paint himself in the corner. With releases in the past 30 years exploring 360 degrees on the musical radar, he's been hailed as "the most underrated producer in the world", "living legend of electronic composition" and "music's best kept secret".
Since his debut 12" in 1993, Jori has released over 25 artist albums, while singles, EP’s and remixes tick in well over 250 mark. Collaborators include people as diverse as John Foxx, José Gonzales, Chris Lowe of the Pet Shop Boys and Jesper Dahlbäck. Jori has also co-written and produced number of tracks for the Canadian superstar Tiga, such as “Sunglasses at Night”, “Bugatti” and “Woke.”
As a DJ Jori has travelled across the globe eversince the mid 90's and played hundreds of clubs and festivals from Australia to Zurich -and every alphabet inbetween -spreading the vibe with his unique blend of house and techno, fuelled by insatiable curiosity about the music's future and profound understanding of its past. In addition, projects such as the Acid Symphony Orchestra, his synth-pop band Sin Cos Tan, and NUNTIUS, a film project with Jimi Tenor, have kept the frequent Emma award and Nordic Music Prize nominee busy.
The pandemic didn’t leave our protagonist irresolute either, during the months and years Jori recorded and released a number of EPs and albums, be it solo, collab or with Sin Cos Tan, and continued to develope his live- and Dj-sets. 2023 marked his 50th birthday and also the 30th anniversary of his official debut release. To highlight this benchmark Jori released his most ambitious album yet: “There Is Light Hidden In These Shadows” features guest vocals from indie icons such as John Grant, Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Art Feynman, Tiga and The Beloved, just to name a few.
