TIMO JUUTI & HECTOR 87 – Woo Chicks & Disco Wobblez ep
by La Valigetta

TIMO JUUTI & HECTOR 87, a crazy floor destroying duo hailing from the northernmost part of Finland, have been sky rocketing across the scene during 2011.
After they got bored of writing the same old music year after year, they allegedly raided a local library to sample loads of old disco records, they used these to create something totally different, their very own blend of disco house and pop-savvy electro.
This unique sound immediately raised interest within the pros and the clubbers, and found them included on numerous compilations, airplay on BBC radio 1 followed with support from top notch DJs such as Chuckie (and Fearne Cotton).

Have a taste of their talent with this funny bootleg of Dada Life and M83 hits:

Following the path started with EVOLVOTRON and the Single New York Town (and the remixed releases Evolvotron remixed pt.1 & Evolvotron remixed pt.2 that includes producers like The C90s, Xinobi, Lenno, Just Kiddin, Death in Plains, Casa del Mirto and more), this new album has the same dark tones with some evolutions: all the samples, while still deconstructed and built anew by the skillful hands of Rico (Uochi Toki), are somehow more orchestrated: strings, flutes, brasses, piano, arabesque or mystic tunes weirdly mix with power electronics, dubstep and drum ‘n bass hints, all layering heavy and thick on a sheet of lyrics dealing with death (from the very moment before exhaling the last breath to the burial), expressed through extremely pop, obsessive and ritual-esque choruses struggling with harsh, ragind and fast verses.

FUNERALISTIC is incredibly intense, deep and sincere, but not really easy at first contact: it will require you some listenings to absorb it, but it will definitely be worth the time spent.
