"Pan Sonic + Carl Michael von Hausswolff + Erkki Kurenniemi -- live @ Kiasma theatre, Helsinki, Finland 21-10-2002.

The concert features the Finnish electronica formation, Pan Sonic [aka Panasonic], playing on original DIMI instruments. The nucleus of the Sähkö label in the 1990s [the mother of all Scandinavian techno outprints], but robbed of a letter in their name since 1997 as a result of legal action taken by a Japanese electronics group, Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, who make up Pan Sonic, exemplify better than anyone else the raw and very individual style of electronica made in Finland. Having recently performed with artists such as Peaches and Chicks On Speed, the Pan Sonics are supported at this concert by the Swedish sound artist, Carl Michael von Hausswolff, and Erkki Kurenniemi himself as they play instruments such as the DIMI saxophone."
