The Koneveljet (Brothers In Machine), Aito "real" and Oiva "jolly good fellow" Koneveli started their electronic experimenting with musical and non-musical sounds during the 60's and continued terrorizing their friends and relatives the next two decades, but it was around 1992 or 1995 (???) when they realized what the music business, or actually the whole world was waiting for. It was finally time for The Koneveljet to do the boom and shake. And also fair amounts of rzzz and frpp just in the right places. They couldn't decide whether to play speed ambient or death'n'bass so they thought some trip-no wouldn't be out of place either. Playing live is their passion. Dressed in robes, fake beards, goggles. The effect is faintly exotic. Orginally, Kimmo Kajasto and Jari Kokkonen are from RinneRadio -- which won Finland's Best Jazz Band Award in 1995. In 1997 they split after several years collaboration with Tapani Rinne and concentrated themselves totally into their side project Koneveljet. They requested their cousin Varma Koneveli, the "intelligent soundscapes" DJ Borzin to join this adventure to the bitter end!!! [old image]

1997
* 4. Koneveljet: Ehtakon
* 9. Koneveljet: Man On The Moon

"Helsinki as the next Paris? Could be if Sauna keep going like this. After last month's superb compilation of Finnish talent, "Man On The Moon" is another treat -- a sense of impudence cheekier than a mischievous monkey, a gloriously fun downtempo groove and the kind of kitsch cool that Jimi Tenor once had a monopoly on."
