Biography of Lump

Somewhere between North Finland and its border with Lapland, home to vast space, iridescent landscapes, and ice comes Arttu Snellman aka Lump. As a teenager in the late eighties Arttu was struck, like any budding techie confined by many months of cold and darkness, by the new electronic sounds coming out of the US and UK (perhaps also the motivators for Finish brethren Vladislav Delay and the pioneering Saehkoe label). Profound love for acid house and emerging bleep techno forced the acquisition of turntables, relocation to Helsinki, and a DJ career interrupted by mandatory Finnish military service. 5 days later he was discharged for 'mental reasons.'

Relieved, Arttu found himself chosen for a four year animation course in the southwest city of Turku. While in school during the mid nineties Arttu started to amass obscure synthesizers and eventually built up a small studio. Ambient soundscapes and lo-fi grooves started to emerge. At home he listened to almost everything, for other people he recalls playing 'bouncy techno' while Djing. In 1998 the next step was London primarily to continue his vocational animation development. Thus Arttu became a freelance animator leaving Helsinki and his incomplete education behind.

Arttu's productions progressively traveled to the deeper and dubbier side of techno, dug out even further by London's heavy reggae and dub culture. Tracks were mixed live directly to DAT. In 2002 the first Lump EP emerged on Berlin's (then Cologne's) Sub Static label. More and more time was devoted to music than animation. Next year London's Sued Electronic crew took notice and the first Lump live shows surfaced. Gaining momentum, Lump released a second EP on Sub Static sub-label Karloff. Philadelphia native turned Berliner Jay Haze then approached Lump for his net label Textone. 2 net releases later, Jay, taken both by Lump�s music and his jubilant and humble personality, commissioned a Lump EP for his hibernating Future Dub imprint. During the long hot summer of 2005 sweating at the machines of his London bedroom studio, the development of that EP swelled into Lump�s first full length album. Lump Dub emerges as a double vinyl LP and CD (featuring 3 bonus tracks).

The sound of Lump has countless layers moving over and under creating abyssal depth tied together only by the uniting electronic dub theme. Each sound is sculpted meticulously to fit or flow just right, revealing new facets at each listening pass. Many of these layers and sounds are mixed live free of precise sequencing and as such the music takes on a life of its own. Never taking himself too seriously, Lump confesses that for him music is all about fun, making music only when in a good mood. From playful to melancholy, focused to vague, Lump's music conveys pictures of timeless concepts from deep within, all from a warm perspective of pure positivity.
