Lost in the search for the perfect beat, the Finnish native Lauri Saine keeps shaping his sound signature forward. His first encounters with music production date back to 1995, the internet was about to bloom and there was no turning back. After the turn of the millennia, Saine released most of his hip-hop/jazz influenced tracks on the now-legendary Tokyo Dawn. Since then the 28-year-old musician has launched three solo albums on Helsinki-based Cymbidium Records, a self-released EP (free download) and finally the new house fused Drifter EP on Must Have Records, a newborn label out of northern Virginia by Jay Simon.
You can buy the new Drifter EP directly from Must Have Records before it goes worldwide. To do so, just email deliciousjay(at)gmail.com to get it before worldwide distribution - $7.50 + shipping.
Saine's previous album Long Time No See is also available digitally and as a limited edition vinyl.
