Our Finnish friend Vladislav Delay aka Luomo and one half of AGF/Dlay (and countless others) is back with a full album on his own Huume Records, as Uusitalo. From what I remember Uusitalo’s previous efforts, were more dub fused filtered electronic stuff, this time I think he’s polished the sound a little bit and took the rhythmic elements up front as opposed to the textural reverby sound, more dancable stuff with hard kicks and synths. It’s not as experimental as AGF/Dlay stuff, or as bubblegum pop as Luomo stuff, something in between. Not a very varied and innovative album, but nevertheless a nice effort that is suited for dancefloors.

Here’s a track from the album, and also free stuff by The Dolls, which is composed of AGF, Delay and Craig Armstrong.
