Never mind tweet tweet this collection of nature inspired numbers all hit base beginning with the thought-provoking Natural Playground setting the scene. In ways it’s a curious blend of child-like chatter, buzzing, humming creatures offset by deft piano, rumbling low-end theory and pulsating percussion alongside the charming notes emanating from a jazzy, breathy Saxophone.

Forming a part of Juha Puuperä and his sonic output I want to use the word music to describe this yet can’t seem to grasp it. In many ways this informs more of an experience, albeit a startling one, which journeys into terrains of sound. Unsettling, Brutal, Unforgiving. But rewarding, thought-provoking escapism that will thrust

There is a timeless quality to the music here which only goes to reinforce its strength and consequently the innate power of House Music, although there are certain

So I guess it’s that purely emotional point that strikes the right chord here. A Says Hello sets the scene with chiming keys which lift your expectation

Such a deliciously refreshing piece of music, although I guess it’s not like the label aren’t renowned for it. I love the way the production teases and tempts you into thinking it is all about one style and sound, then confounds your expectations by tearing the heart out of it.
