The next release on Ara-u’s No Static / Automatic comes from Konerytmi aka Kiril Junolainen. The Konerytmi project began in 2020 combining electro, techno and acid sounds with a gliding and clean-edged production aesthetic. On Moottoritie EP he channels in the energy and flow of traversing the speed-limitless autobahn while giving a cool nod to the aesthetic of Scandinavian electro sounds a la Stilleben Records.


First track Japanin-Automoto rolls in on a punchy groove, and builds itself up on squelching melodies, celestial synths and singing vocoders. Moottoritie was one of the first tracks produced under the Konertymi alias over 4 years ago (as is Vainio) and brings in the essence of a motorway experience as it speeds in with screeching sounds and bounces onwards on a melodic and playful baseline.


The pace ups with Tranmitteri, a driving and punching peak time number with a turning and evolving acid melody line. Vainio takes us onwards to a darker and deeper destination, with a tunnelling intensity to close the EP - mixing tightly formed beats with song-like melodies as is the foundation of this surgically crafted release.
