Trumpeter Aki Himanen and drummer Aleksi Kinnunen form a duo that fuses Scandinavian jazz aesthetics with the driving pulse of techno. Their music explores the dialogue between human improvisation and machine-like rhythmic architecture. The duo’s sound is dark, atmospheric and hypnotic, shaped by poetic landscapes where nature and technology intertwine.
Their debut album Scapes I introduced an experimental approach that set the tone for their future work. Follow-up releases such as Dawn Drops, A Thing With Feathers, and Dual Reality expanded their sonic world and gained strong international attention. Each record pushes their concept further, balancing acoustic expression with electronic intensity. The duo has collaborated widely with artists across both the jazz and electronic scenes.
On stage, they are known for high-energy, dance-driven performances that blur the line between a live concert and a club experience. They have appeared at renowned venues such as Kantine am Berghain and at major contemporary jazz festivals including JazzMi and Jazz:Re:Found. Their live sets continue to evolve, offering an immersive journey into a futuristic Nordic soundscape.
