Behind the Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic) : Release Notes

Kim Rapatti, aka Mono Junk, is a key figure in Finnish techno, known for his deep, hardware-driven sound. A firm believer in analogue synthesis, he has been shaping raw and hypnotic club tracks since the early 90s, drawing inspiration from Detroit pioneers like Derrick May and Juan Atkins. His releases have appeared on his own imprint, DUM Records, as well as Skudge, Forbidden Planet, and most recently, Cold Blow–earning him a dedicated following among DJs and collectors. Recorded in Turku in 2002 using the Korg Minikorg 700s, Loving Your Mind showcases Mono Junks signature stripped-down grooves and live hardware improvisation–an essential pick for anyone seeking an authentic slice of early-2000s machine funk. Alongside the title track is Gamma, a previously unheard production that was commissioned as an exclusive for a highly regarded mix series, further cementing Mono Junks status as a trusted name in underground techno. Built around a percussive groove, a deep electro-funk bassline, and a four-to-the-floor pulse, the track unfolds in an atmospheric haze, balancing dancefloor functionality with hypnotic depth. The B-side features remixes from Katerina and Sansibar, two of Finlands most notable international breakthroughs in recent years, known for their modern yet timeless club productions that nod to classic techno and house. Katerina, a versatile DJ and producer with releases on Rekids, Running Back, and Comeme, transforms Loving Your Mind into a high-energy techno duet, layering her own vocals over the original vocal track, with her infectious synth lead as the icing on the cake. Sansibar, one of the fastest-rising names in the underground with releases on Kalahari Oyster Cult, WARNING, and Emotsiya, delivers a darker, four-to-the-floor rework–bringing a sinister edge while maintaining the raw energy of classic machine funk.
