Biography of Juho Kahilainen
Clumsy sentences in crappy English - that's what biographies of house and techno deejays usually are. I am no exception. If you don't like this text, fine with me. Life is short so don't waste it here.
Some people have asked if I am serious. I don't take myself seriously: stupid jokes and making a fool of myself is basically what I am. This attitude is also present in my music. If I don't have fun when I'm producing or performing, why should I keep doing it? However, music is not a joke to me.
The national radioshow by Tapani Ripatti in 1993 introduced Juho to electronic music and he has been building up beats for fun ever since. Even though he has been putting out some releases, Juho has no plans to quit his day job yet.
Some of the highlights: In 2001 Juho's remix of Laurent Garnier's 'Greed' was released on F-Communications. Played on the main arena of Koneisto-festival in 2003. Participant of RBMA in Rome 2004. Promoter and resident of a monthly night called Phonour (2003-2007). Released records on labels like BPitch Control, Initial Cuts and Frozen North Recordings.
