Years before loop-based experimental techno became a stock-in-trade for scores of producers around the world, Finnish producer <a href="spotify:artist:0HRBPT7qup8HR1VbgsJ6BY">Kim Rapatti</a> was recording minimal productions for more than a dozen labels worldwide. Based in Turku, he began releasing material on his own Dum Trax label in 1990, utilizing multiple aliases including Mono Junk, <a href="spotify:artist:1l9cbCL8X4pmatPVXxtfWz">Detroit Diesel</a>, Mars 31, <a href="spotify:artist:151pVpaq4HKrz8omqcssMm">Coopers</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1VWoxHER9vFtnt0b4W2gJp">Unik</a>, Melody Boy 2000, and occasionally his own name. A 1995 Dum Trax compilation was followed by his first full-length, Gloom. By the mid-'90s, <a href="spotify:artist:0HRBPT7qup8HR1VbgsJ6BY">Rapatti</a>'s rigid, isolationist sound became much-hyped in the techno world, and he recorded for top labels, including Plug Research, Sähkö, 12K, Neuton, Interdimensional Transmissions, Trope, and i220. ~ John Bush, Rovi
