Yeah thought the same, 53 years old.
Somewhere i thought I knew he was sick. But that's probably not true.

Re: Mika Vainio, may he rest in peace
He basically is responsible for a whole sound within techno.
We all owe him a lot.
Seems like he was struggling with depression these last few years.

Sorry to hear that too. Was only recently watching an old documentary bjork did on bbc that featured him.

Re: Mika Vainio, may he rest in peace
I was so sad to hear about this. He was supposed to play in copenhagen (in a - to me at least - very small venue) a month or two ago, at the time I thought I would of course get another chance to see him... and now he's gone. of all the loads of musician who has passed away in the last two years only Bowie made me as emotional in their passing as Vainio did.
He's one of those musicians who have left the biggest impression on me. May he rest in peace.

Seconded, he was definitely in the top three for me. And noone else from the 90es (Wolfgang Voigt excluded) made a succesful career jump from the techno underground to a recognized 'artist' outside the electronic circuit in my opinion.Amøbe wrote:

Fellow Copenhagener here by the way.

Maybe you're right (but that's quite a bold statement) - where you at the GAS concert by the way?chava wrote:Seconded, he was definitely in the top three for me.

I've been listening to a lot of his stuff lately - and this might have to do with me probably caring more about the latest slideinstallation on the playgrounds at the time - but was he techno? I mean if for instance Kulma was released today, it would obviously get some sort of experimental/minimal techno label. But was techno in his area at the time? to my ears they were closer to sound art, ambient and industrial releases from that time... and then techno followed them overthere. Am I overthinking this (obviously) or is it somewhat true? (Void's comment above seems to suggest something along those line)
Listening back is always a strange (but healthy) experience...
Re: Mika Vainio, may he rest in peace
No ticket for the GAS show, well too bad for me.
Yeah, Mika Vainio and Sahko was techno back then, but so was everything else - it was a broad term and included stuff that today fall more into an experimental/art non-categorization. On more adventurous raves stuff like Sahko got played, but maybe most as 'warm-up' by some bespectacled pale nerd. Or even in chill-out rooms, which sometimes surely did play 'chilly' music. Techno had some real fringe figures in the 90es and raves was in some ways much more experimental than todays clubs. Getting a bit nostalgic here, sorry.
Like when do you hear stuff like this played out today ? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm7-KIa-X9A
or Wolfgang Voigt back in 94/95 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSLoxg4zkk
