Jori Hulkkonen

Finnish DJ and a producer of house music, born 28 September 1973, Kemi, Finland.

In the late 1980s, Jori's musical passion started displaying itself when he discovered the slightly more abstract form of electronic music, namely Detroit techno, and house music.

While earlier influences included slightly more traditional pop music from Depeche Mode to Pet Shop Boys and from John Foxx to The Smiths, the new wave of American electronic club music pushed Jori towards experimenting with structures and textures that were far removed from those roots. Still, a lot of those early influences pushed through in his productions.
