Back to past events

: 2012 Tour @ Turku

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.
The fifth tour party will be underground and held in the former capital city Turku!

Fossa LIVE

The Turku-born Fossa is active in X-rust and U-komitea crews and he has had electronic music flowing in his veins since his childhood. Although Fossa’s main style is twisted electro he has played everything from skwee to washing machine techno in his live sets. Listening to Terrordrome cd’s during elementary school left a chamber in his heart where gabba and rave live. Every now and then he returns to these genres and no way in hell are the bass cabinets gonna be left cold. Fossa’s gabbasets desire back to the past and include bits of rave, jungle and humour.
