HENRI PUOLITAIVAL:
SOMETHING FROM THE FORESTS EP
(Edensonic Records ES006, 2005)

Edensonic’s sixth release introduces Henri Puolitaival, a young deep-techno newcomer from northern Finland to the world. Henri’s love for that special sound and atmosphere of detroit techno can be heard all over the tracks which tell a strange but beautiful story from the deep forests of Finland. It’s moody techno with traces of house sounds combined in a truly stylish and unique way, which Henri’s strong compositional skills really bring alive. Deep influences by the old motor city techno innovators are clearly reflected from the tracks, as the chord sounds of the opening track “Fifteen Ways” smoothly blend into the atmospheric string background or in the way which “Village Filled With Freaks” turns from a flowing house tune into a hectic Robert Hoodish experimentation in techno patterns. The third track “Surrounding Oppression” is a more dub techno piece with catchy percussion programming, which has always been one of Henri’s strong skills.
The release includes a remix from Edensonic’s label heads Strial & Tioneb, two upcoming producers from Toulouse (France). They deliver a deep and melodic remix of Henri’s "Village Filled With Freaks" with a truly stylish detroit techno vibe on it. Both of them have a long history in electronic music behind them and although living in the same area they got hooked together by accident in 2001, starting immediately to produce music together. Year 2005 should also bring forth their first EP release – while waiting for it be sure to check out Strial’s and Tioneb’s own quality releases on Edensonic Records.
Henri Puolitaival stands and delivers. This is the sound coming out of the deep and dark forests, painting a sonic landscape of a desolated industrial city straight before your eyes. Get it now – you’ll fall in love with it in no time.
HENRI PUOLITAIVAL BIO
We all know the modern-day Detroit is a desolate, lonely place encompassed by industrial factory buildings – urban wasteland. That’s where several world-renown artists drew their influences to create the innovative and cold sounds of techno filled with soulful warmth. This is something that one could never imagine happening in Finland, thousands of miles away from Detroit, a land encompassed with forests, lakes and beautiful nature rather than destroyed life. And yet from the northern parts of Finland we can find Henri Puolitaival, whose feeling and thoughts delivered through the music is strongly influences by the Detroit sound. Henri’s music is deep and fresh yet paying respect to the original masters.
Henri’s style is soulful, funky and his compositional skills are clearly in the foreground. He is a truly capable drum programmer and can put real mood in his playing, but the compositions and arrangements of his tracks are something really distinct. Henri’s first release was “Sommarens Bästa Minne EP” – Swedish for “the best memory of the summer” – on Metrotraks, a commercial netlabel on Summer 2004. Already on the first release showed his talent for building songs instead of just looping a four-to-the-floor rhythm for five minutes, and one’s attention seemed to be drawn by nature to the most important issue – the music itself.
The most amazing thing is that Henri was approximately fifteen (15!) years old when he made his first release. His first tracks were already aired by a national radio station in Finland years ago. What were you doing when you were eleven years old? This true talent was making killer tracks at that age. If this is what he can do now, we really can’t wait what he’ll be able to come up with in five years to the future.
