SÄHKÖ THE MOVIE



under_score presents...

Sähkö The Movie

(Jimi Tenor / 1995 / Finland / DVD / 44 mins / Documentary)

Sunday 17th February / Cube Microplex /7pm / £2

SÄHKÖ THE MOVIE documents Finnish techno label Sähkö Recordings in it's
mid-90s prime. Best known for it's sparse, ultra-minimal sound,
it's early releases have become a benchmark in electronic music.
This 16mm film shows Mika Vainio aka Ø, Pan(a)sonic,
Hertsi, and Jimi Tenor at work in the studio making tracks on their
trademark custom-built analogue equipment, hand pressing limited
edition vinyl releases and eardrum rupturing live performances. The
movie is essential viewing for anyone with a passing interest in
techno, industrial and experimental music but also the restless DIY
spirit.

In the bar -- under_score dj Jim Petherwick and arch blogger
Gutterbreakz play Sähkö classics 7pm till late.
