What do you get when you fuse the headiness of kosmische with the visceral impact of techno, the intensity of metal with the churning power of dark ambient? The answer can be found in Timo Timo Kaukolampi’s discography. 

Having co-founded K-X-P (whose albums are critically acclaimed by Pitchfork, MOJO, and The Quietus), Kaukolampi has released four albums with the experimental electronic trio. 

Though his solo material draws on a wellspring of influences from the 1970s Berlin school to minimalist masters like Éliane Radigue, it all sounds thrillingly new. Starkly beautiful instrumental pieces are layered with bassy depths and glittering peaks, with networks of mazy, centre-less electronic pathways - has music ever sounded this pulverising? 

For an artist with such a keen ear for atmosphere, it’s unsurprising how comfortably he took to soundtracking. Often collaborating with fellow K-X-P member Tuomo Puranen, the pair notably created “synth-heavy” accompaniment for both TV and film, even winning a Jussi award for Best Original Score in 2018 (for Euthanizer).

With more solo material inbound, another K-X-P album under construction, and yet more soundtrack work, in the end Kaukolampi’s output is testament not only to work ethic, but tireless creative spirit.
