Leo Järveläinen aka. Leo Laker, Switchblade, William Garvin.....
Always interested in music Leo started early trying various instruments, but found a better way of expressing himself with an Amiga's ProTracker music software, which he later then changed into a PC and DOS-based ImpulseTracker. When he was 14 he got more interested in techno and
started collecting records and creating more tracks based in the rhythm and kicking bases.
In 1996 Leo recorded some demotapes and sent them to Tresor Records. Selected tracks were released in 1998 as "6AM" EP. The record got a lot of attension and was placed in many DJ-charts. The second release "Tontunmäki" EP (1999) was also a success and became one of Tresor's most ordered back-catalogue titles.
In 2001 Switchblade was born with the release of "Switched To Blades" EP from
4X4 Records. This brought Leo to the attension of the new growing "Schranz"
community and started getting booking and record requests worldwide.
To this day Leo has made over 25 releases and played in countries such:
Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Belgium,
Slovenia, Estonia, Austria, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine...
