After doing years of underground work on all sorts of electronic styles, Robin Grotenfelt and Mikko Mantila decided to experiment with new sounds and new forms of thinking. This experiment ended up in Hetikohta - our favourite spaced-out discoband from the same neighbourhood as us. With influences of house, disco, dub and early breakbeat (we're thinking about â€œoldâ€ rave here), they're combining electronic music with traditional live instruments and vocals. The list of collaborating artists and performers is long. Today their live band includes a guest vocalist, drummer and a violonist. 'You always hear these crazy sounds in your head while making a song, for example a sax solo or funny percussion from a 70's drum machine, and then you start thinking who'd be the best person to do the job', explains Mikko. During the last couple of years Hetikohta has established as an uplifting live act with a steadily growing following, their performances including a showcases at the International Symposium of Electronic arts in Scandinavia, Asia Europe Art Camp in Indonesia and plenty of local club gigs. Both Robin and Mikko are involved in Basso.fi, a Finnish radio station/magazine/online forum for underground music. Their 1st 12' is soon out on nine2five, 4 tracks of contemporary disco music with that 'balearic' touch - so fashionable again in 2007. From Helsinki, with peace love unity and respect The Executives â€" nine2five recordings
