Brainbashers: 2012 Tour @ Kuopio
Kovaydin Vastarinta loudly presents:
: 2012 Tour @ Kuopio
At Brainbashers events we play hard, fast-paced and sometimes also experimental underground electronic music, which challenges the present-day mainstream’s views of dance music. The present-day, that has forgotten the pulse of intensive tribal dancing that can be felt in ones entire organism. The concept however is not puritanically focused on dance music, the listening experience is also important. Boundaries crossing extreme subgenres of electronic music can be found in for example industrial, digital punk, drum’n’bass, techno, psytrance and avant-garde. The core of the action however has always been hardcore. The speciality of the events has been to offer a wide scale of different *core styles. Kovaydin Vastarinta tours Finland throughout the year 2012 spreading its Brainbashers concept and making people dance to distorted bassdrums.
Our second destination will be the club Resistori in Kuopio. Resistori is the center of Kuopio’s alternative events.

Lineup:
DoomsDay Sounds LIVE
DoomsDay Sounds is a one man hardcore/terror/speedcore army from Riihimäki. The gentleman produces music mainly for his own joy and for the annoyance of others. Besides a few gigs abroad (Sounds of Chaos in Stockholm and Finnish Night in St. Petersburg) he has played mainly at Kovaydin Vastarinta crew’s parties as well as being an organizer.
62 LIVE
The project ’62’ from Tampere was born in early 2011 and is mainly focused in breakcore. 62 is also a part of RK that was founded around 2007-2008. While RK is a Digital Hardcore project of a few angry men, 62 is walking its own, mainly experimental, path.
RujoNic
RujoNic from Tampere has been playing various kinds of hardcore since 2007, the year when his collective called Kolina-Produktio was also born. He primarily plays rougher industrial and break based core.
Shatterling LIVE
Shatterling produces industrial hardcore, drum’n’core and breakcore with an experimental, but often also a beautiful and melodic attitude. His genre selection isn’t limited though and he often takes influences from speedcore, dubstep, classical music and jazz. This live artist and dj from Espoo has, besides Kovaydin Vastarinta, also been a member of the now defunct Divaani Records and he has also signed his tracks on Noisj.nl and Abraxis Productions labels among others.
Stak Etop
The nowadays Tampere based Stak Etop has spinned vinyls since 1999 and is also the founder of Tenkale crew and label. This time Stak will dig some new and old hardtek/core sound from his vinyl case. Familiar sounds for those who’ve been to Europe’s teknivals and free parties.
Tuff LIVE
Tuff from Kuopio has been cooking beats behind the scenes for about 6 years and is now activating by performing live for the first time. Expect experimental core and rhythmic noise!
Zutsuu|Teknoaidi LIVE
The Tampere-based founder of Kovaydin Vastarinta, Zutsuu, has made various kinds of hardcore techno since 2003. Zutsuu’s tracks have been released on CD and web compilations in various continents and besides Finland he has played underground, street and club gigs in various EU countries and Russia. His fresh alias, Teknoaidi, is ”shamancore” which combines world music from near and far, atmospheric and psychedelic soundscapes and intense distorted bassdrums.
