Artificial Latvamäki Album #1 Out NOW!

Finally. Fucking finally. After years and years of working to the point of breaking down and rising again like lego brick towers to the sky - I've finally put it out - my debut album "Rauta".

After frustrating myself, trying to get record labels to release it like I wanted it to be, not like they would like it to be, I have decided to put it out for free - pay what you want. Atleast for the first couple of weeks. Or for as long as the free downloads last (yeah, like they would run out, hah).

It's 7:36 in the morning and I've been working all night for this. I hope it's worth it to someone out there listening. It's a beautiful spring friday morning, my name is Dallas Wayne and I say Yeeee-Haa!

It Is Now Also Not EP - Out Now

I just finished uploading "It Is Now Also Not" EP to Bandcamp. Many people have been asking for this EP to be released because it features the epic "It Is Not Now Either" supported by Ellen Allien and James Zabiela amongst others.

This EP concludes the old releases that I will be uploading, next up it's going to be brand new material. And later, my album. Stay tuned. Now listen to this:

Pöly EP digitally remastered and digitally released

Pöly EP is now out in bandcamp. Remastered and ready for listening and cheap download.

The nice thing with bandcamp compared to beatport for example is that the royalty% going to the artist is 75% in bandcamp when for me it's 5-10% in beatport, which is something like 0,122 euros or less per song. So in conclusion downloading from bandcamp supports the artist and dowloading from beatport supports shit. Happy listening!

New cover for Mänty EP

Today I decided to start releasing music in digital format. No matter how much I love vinyls, I've always been very dissatisfied with record labels and their performance, contracts and lack of vision. So I did some research and ended up choosing bandcamp about which I initially heard from Blamstrain. After choosing the way to go I went and remastered my first EP, Mänty, which was released on trapezltd back in 2005 and put it up there and set up a special, cheap price for it too.

Now I'm thinking about putting the next EP, Pöly, up there as well. However, I don't know if they limit the amount of songs I can upload, I hope not, because I think the freedom that comes with being able to choose what I can release on my own will boost my interest in working with music. I've already made plans for future releases, and I will release my album this way in the near future.
So here's my bandcamp page!

Old B-side from times of Mänty EP

I found this old song from my computer. It brought back a lot of memories from 2004. Quite different style than what I've been doing later. It was done at the same time as Mänty EP, which was released on Trapezltd.


Artificial Latvamäki - 2 sides

Under the sun, new is born on the earth

Everything is a blur... I've decided not to move towards a more touchable life. With me here I have playing: Sauveur Mallia - Stone Roller - and it's enough for me. A few days ago I mashuped some popular shit, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6K7FskXwyU  - whee. Fuck that. Now I'm listening to my c64 remix of Alden Tyrell's Love Explosion, it's in the HVSC if anyone cares.

Take a listen to this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/848631/drumkit2.ogg

It was done about five years ago. I was banging the drums through a shure 58 onto a cassette deck and then brought back to sample.

Also I've played some guitar, like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/848631/aki_latvamäki-pakaste.mp3

Cheers, cherries & peace!
