Keramick & Lobo is a project by two long time friends and electronic music producers Jussi Mikkonen and Visa Mäkinen hailing from Helsinki, Finland. They have been experimenting with hip hop, downtempo and such since their young teens. Both of them have a background in musical studies and a great passion for producing the electronic sounds. The music of the duo can be described as melodic and electro-acoustic. As their sound borrows a lot from electronic music styles such as idm, downtempo, ambient and glitch, it also compiles the characteristics of acoustic music like jazz, dub, pop and even a bit of rock. This reflects in a heavy use of instruments such as electric bass, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards and drums mixed together in a subtle fusion with the computer programming and electronic aspects. Their newer music also features guest musicians, which widens their instrumental spectrum with instruments like acoustic bass, reed and brass instruments and even vocalists. The roots of their musical influences and own earlier projects are based in alternative hiphop, but the later side- and soloprojects (Talamus, K.V.N & Lobo, Magikmick, Visa Maekinen, Jussi Mikkonen) have branched heavily into more electronic genres like minimal techno, house and electronic jazz, still maintaining the hiphop aspect in some of the projects. The duo also forms an improvisational collective KLAH with trumpetist Aki Himanen and is based on improvising electronic music. Aki has often been a part of Keramick & Lobo's live act and they have been known to perform improvised pieces as a part of the concert. The debut-album Digital White was released as a small pressing through their own indie-label Freaky Beats Productions in July of 2007 and was re-released in worldwide mp3-distribution by Exogenic Breaks Records in October 2008. The follow-up album "The Braille" will be released 12.8.2009 by Exogenic Breaks Records in CD- and download formats.
