Dum Records played a very important role in this. In 1992 he started the label Dum Records where he had a platform to allow his own input. Together with Sahko, Dum Records were the first techno labels from Finland. His music can be defined as 'raw analogous minimal icy dark techno woven together in an experimental and hypnotic stone cold form', keeping in mind the seemingly endless winters in Finland. Kimmo is responsible for some of the earliest  techno productions ever emanating from this very special region of Europe, known for its remarkably high quality music scene.\r\nEver since then, Kimmo Rapatti continued producing and (re)-defining the sound of electronic music as a dedicated pioneer, being responsible for many renowned and beloved classics. \r\nHis most famous track \u201cMelody Boy 2000 - Monotonous Fantastique\u201d  is considered by experts and tastemakers as one of the best Finnish techno tracks ever made.\r\nUp until present times, Kimmo never used any software programs for his productions, and he swears he never will - which is why he's known to be called \"Analogue Junkie\".  \r\nAfter a small hiatus, Mono Junk is back, making credible appearances on the labels Forbidden Planet and Skudge Records, while also intensely working on his live performance.\r\nIn both his dynamic performances and productions, his signature sound is a deep, dense mix of noticeable influences from Detroit, Chicago.","artist_country":"","artist_active_years":"","artist_website":"","artist_instagram":"","artist_facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Mono-Junk-997788136925931\/?ref=hl","artist_bandcamp":"http:\/\/monojunk.bandcamp.com\/","artist_soundcloud":"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/mono-junk","artist_spotify":"","artist_resident_advisor":"","artist_beatport":"","artist_youtube":"","artist_youtube_session":"","artist_chart_products":"","artist_chart_title":"","artist_chart_date":"","artist_instagram_curated":"","artist_email_curated":"","artist_bio_curated":"","artist_real_name_curated":"","artist_website_curated":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist\/28617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/musicartist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/musicartist"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/yoyaku.io\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?musicartist=28617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
