They have released three albums, Kamehameha (2007), Ice Cream Spiritual (2008) and Do Whatever You Want All the Time (2011). They disbanded in September 2011. 2. A hip hop artist (Samuli Tanner) from Helsinki. He is ½ of the dubstep production team Clouds. The genre can be defined as experimental dubstep or hip hop, influences are punk rock and Finnish agrarian folk music, and the music has some simillarities with music of Pekka Airaksinen, the Finnish electronic artist. Samuli spent most of his teens in punk groups, and he says that his music’s out-of-tuneness and wayward rhythms have first of all to do with punk spirit, but also the traditional pelimanni spirit of Finnish folk music – Tanner’s family has spawned folk musicians for several generations. Charles Mingus and other jazz innovators of the past are sources of inspiration as well, and another trait shared with Pekka Airaksinen is the way both musicians borrow elements and sample liberally from an eclectic variety of electronic genres, but without paying dues to the conventions and meanings of the originals.
