Aavikko

Aavikko is a Finnish band that has established itself with a distinct sound characterized by its synth-driven music, a blend of instrumental rock, electronic music, and elements of disco — often described as "muysic" in a playful twist on their style. Formed in 1995, the band consists of Tomi Leppänen, Paul Staufenbiel, and Tomi Kosonen, who together create a quirky and retro-futuristic vibe reminiscent of soundtracks from vintage video games and science fiction films.

Over the years, Aavikko has honed their craft and carved out a niche for themselves within the electronic and experimental music scenes. Their catalog is a testament to their versatility and includes a variety of studio albums, EPs, and a compilation that showcases selected non-album material from 1995 to 2003, titled "History of Muysic." Known for their energetic live performances and dressed in their trademark uniforms, Aavikko's recent releases like "Planet Fun-Fun," and "Superdeep Borehole" continue to reflect their affinity for synthesized sounds and a clear nod to the golden age of space disco. Each release encapsulates their continuing evolution while maintaining the playful and innovative spirit that has become synonymous with the Aavikko name.
