Following his murky techno banger on our 5th-anniversary compilation, Finland’s versatile producer-pianist Otto Taimela makes his Cold Blow solo debut with “Sunflower Seeds”, this time merging jungle breaks with Boards-of-Canadaesque nostalgia…with mesmerizing results.

Led by the streaming hit “Sunflower,” the EP is filled with sweet childhood energy, feeling like the hazy, late spring morning sunrays through the window. Or as the artist puts it: “The first skate sessions of the season at Kiasma in the springtime: skating with your friends and re-learning curb tricks and remembering how to fall on concrete without getting hurt.”

Limited to 175 copies. Don’t miss out on the vinyl-only B3 track; grab your copy while you can!

Otto is one of the most versatile and prolific contemporary artists in Finland. His debut vinyl, “Kimmeltie,” was released in 2020 under the famous avant-garde label Ultraääni Records. Word spread globally, and records sold out quickly making Kimmeltie a rare collectible among experimental music lovers. Since then, Otto’s cassettes and vinyl records have been distributed, sold, and played all around the globe.
