New James Reipas album Personal Trainer out on 9.5.2008. The album is released by Faerie Dragon Records!
Personal Trainer is a snapshot of the current James Reipas sound which is constantly evolving and diversifying through the bands many live gigs throughout Finland and beyond.
Ranging from synth folk music to synth rock and everything in between but always with a danceable edge, Personal Trainer provides a great album experience for DJs and home listeners alike.
Warning: THIS IS STILL NOT IN FASHION!
James Reipas is hailing from Helsinki, Finland and is a group of talented
young electronic musicians who could easily be considered as pioneers of
Finnish psychedelic dance music. The group consists of Kolmas Vasemmalta
(guitar, vocals), Oskari Olevainen (percussion, vocals), Kayab
(keyboards) and Himasen Aki (trumpet). James Reipas' debut album "This Is Not In
Fashion" (DMTCD08) was released on the Australian experimental trance label
Demon Tea Recordings in 2001 and it received wide appraisal within the
trance scene and outside it as well. The second James Reipas album "Uwaga"
(FDCD06) was released in december 2005 by a Finnish label Freakdance Records.
James Reipas has an unique style of sound, combining both electro and
psychedelic dance music with recorded live instruments such as flamenco
guitars, live drums and percussion, etc. This is definitely not your average
soft synth music with boring presets, as the group uses mainly hardware
synthesizers and equipment to create their tracks, trusting on the good old
MIDI. James Reipas doesn't believe in genre limitations either and they are
not ashamed to send the same message to their listeners. They have been
performing extensively in Finland and their wild live performances have
gained tremendous popularity. In spring 2007 the trio also toured Germany
and in July 2007 Kolmas Vasemmalta and Kayab played a James Reipas gig in
Ukraine. The live sets of James Reipas are more based on improvisation and
free flow than sticking to the original structures of the songs.
