SÄHKÖ THE MOVIE documents Finnish techno label Sähkö Recordings in it's mid-90s prime. Best known for it's sparse, ultra-minimal sound, it's early releases have become a benchmark in electronic music. This 16mm film shows Mika Vainio aka Ø, Pan(a)sonic, Hertsi, and Jimi Tenor at work in the studio making tracks on their trademark custom-built analogue equipment, hand pressing limited edition vinyl releases and eardrum rupturing live performances. The movie is essential viewing for anyone with a passing interest in techno, industrial and experimental music but also the restless DIY spirit.
