| | | ek-ke (sweden) #ekke 04 ep jean-louis huhta “i am fofo b/w ripper xxx” seven inch single record | | when it comes to musicality and innovation within swedish independent music jean-louis huhta is unmatched. he’s been a percussionist, composer and computer nerd. and, since the 80s, the main force in like every project i ever hear about. he was one of the founding members of anticimex (they released grind core records on earache), he played percussion in stonefunkers and later on in lucky people center.
he’s done the soundtrack to numerous dance performances, theatre plays and films and worked with people like william s. burroughs, cm von hausswolff, union carbide productions, jesper dahlbäck, freddie wadling and the leather nun. he’s one of sweden’s most talented and skillful musicians and composers. he is also exceptionally dirty and have been exploring the darkest corners of miami bass, dirt dub, black metal, hardcore, and electro ever since those genres first were invented.
but his output as a solo artist has been way smaller than you’d expect. but that’ll change now, since ideal recordings in gothenburg decided to take him on. april sees the release of his first ideal recording, the 7” single “i am fofo/like a drug” which he describes as an “homage à stooges.” it’s easy to tell why, despite the fact that it’s pure electronics. the raw power of it is only matched by ig and the asheton brothers. be sure to keep an eye on this and forthcoming jean-louis huhta releases.
apart from all this he’s also a versatile skateboarder and an exceedingly nice guy. |
