DISCOTECA FATALE (PT/FI) Alternative electro pop by Esa Klemola, veteran Finnish electronic artist and producer. Mixing 80s synth pop, post punk and electro with the influences from trip-hop, acid house, disco and electronica. Often danceable and melodic, but at times also deep, dark and experimental. Two releases to date include self-titled album and A Disco Life Vol. 1, as well as several singles and remixes on a Finnish indie label ALAKULTTUURITALO (AKT), as well as live performances in PT, Spain and Finland. The single Revelations (2021) got airplay on Finnish national radio YLE and Sveriges Radio in Sweden and the following single Dancing with Broken Hearts (DANCING WITH PRKL RMX), a collaboration with well-known Finnish underground producer and musician Vilunki 3000 (Op:l Bastards, Uusi Fantasia, Anne), ended up in the TOP10 of Radio Helsinki in September 2021.
