Jori Hulkkonens sound has always been just as much about the listening experience as about club appeal, and in 'Options', the first single to be taken from his forthcoming album release 'Negative Time', that focus hasn't changed. With trademark beauty, 'Options' organically flows across a tougher, more mechanical structure as Jori introduces a new direction, and a new concept, under the guise of Third Culture. "A few years back I read a piece about Third Culture. The basic idea was to take hard science, like physics and mathematics and put them with literary humanist faculties, although instead of opposing them, the idea was to try and find the similarities and common ground between them. I instantly recognized that juxtaposition; it's the exact same element I strive to find when I play live shows with all of my vintage hardware. Improvising and creating something unique – a human touch, but using electronical machinery – it was something I just had to explore further."
