Luomo is the moniker of Finnish electronic musician Sasu Ripatti, who has made significant contributions to the microhouse and experimental techno scenes. Ripatti, initially known for his work under the alias Vladislav Delay, embarked on the Luomo project with a shift towards a more accessible, yet still deeply intricate, house sound infused with elements of soul and disco. His work under the Luomo name is characterized by its detailed production, complex rhythms, and extensive usage of redefined vocals.

Ripatti's work as Luomo reached a critical pinnacle with the release of "Vocalcity" in 2000, a landmark album that contributed to the microhouse genre and has been celebrated for its pioneering sound—a blend of minimal beats with sensuously manipulated vocals. The "Vocalcity (20th Anniversary Re-Master)" serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of this genre-defining sound. Following works such as "Convivial," "Paper Tigers," and the "Paper Tigers Remixes" have continued to showcase Luomo’s dexterity in creating lush, danceable tracks that exude a sophisticated, yet emotive ambiance. With "Really Don't Mind" and "Spy," Luomo has maintained his reputation as a producer of finely-crafted electronic music that pushes boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in the underground scene.
