takomo
 

Up and coming Finnish electronica duo Takomo were formed in 2002 after the members Otto Hassinen and Pekka Kokkonen met at a drum'n'bass related chatroom. Their combined influences can be found in dark minimal tech funk drum'n'bass such as Ed Rush & Optical (The Virus Sound), Matrix and Cause 4 Concern, with some influence drawn also from IDM, jazz and downtempo. Both are avid music collectors with diverse interests spanning punk to prog rock and hip hop, all sorts of experimental electronic music and everything in between - not excluding drum'n'bass and breaks, of course.

Over time their style has developed more in the direction of breakbeat, alternating between deep and progressive atmospheric material to dancefloor oriented breaks. Currently they seek influence in all types of quality electronics.

  The duo works together online from different locations in Finland. Project files are swapped via the net. "We pay meticulous attention to detail;" comments Pekka, "The bass must be as heavy and the drums must be as tight as possible and every aspect must be honed to perfection before release. Also, the tracks must work both in home listening as well as the dancefloor as vast soundscapes meet a tight dancefloor sound."

Takomo's dark pumping bass-fest "Interplanetary Warfare" appears on Heavy Disco's "Helsinki Breaks Out EP".
