Jori Hulkkonen 'I Am The Night/Tinten Turdel' EP (My Favorite Robot)
Jori Hulkkonen delivers two cuts of blissed-out electro which, he says, are some of the more DJ-friendly offerings from his “rather dark and moody forthcoming album” for My Favourite Robot. ‘I Am The Night’ is a charming slice of romantic, proggy electro that begins with a robotic voice calmly declaring “I stand on the edge of darkness. I am the night”. Hulkkonen then despatches a salvo of swelling violins over punchy 808s for a subtle but impactful start. ‘Tinten Turdel’ is a little more melodramatic, as the producer pairs fizzing drum work with beaming Italo synths for a dreamy track that sounds like it could be from a sci-fi epic.
