The new Jori Hulkkonen album Men Are From Mars was released on Turbo a few weeks ago and it proves everything I’ve assumed of the man. He’s been in the game since ’88 and isn’t about to stop making incredible electronic music any time soon. The eighth track off the release, “Undercover,” featuring The Dove (aka Tiga) really does the trick for me.

For an older, classic sample of his work that has aged quite well, listen to his remix of Chromeo‘s “Bonafied Lovin’.” Gets me every time.

“When you think of Finland, you think of Lordi, Nokia, Zyntherius, pale men with wiskers, Matti Nykänen coke-orgies and a stupid language…..but underneath that depressing grey façade lies a rich musical culture….a culture personified by the living legend of electronic composition Jori Hulkkonen.” – Tiga
