This explosive set of 22 floorfilling synth‐italo‐tech‐disco blasts from the past charts the rise and heyday of the synthesizer in Finnish pop music. Compiled by renowned Helsinki DJ and music historian Mikko Mattlar, these 22 choice cuts from 1978 to 1992 include many cult hits and impossibly rare tracks, such as the Fenno‐Italo‐disco cult classic Satan in Love by Emilia and the synthetic experiments of Argon and Syntax.

Hasse Walli is the legendary guitarist behind early Piirpauke and Blues Section. Between these two groups Walli had a short‐lived quartet called Z eus, whose short lifespan lasted from 1972 to 1973. No studio recordings exist, but the band did record a live session on air. After laying in the archives for 45 years Svart are proud to present the world premiere of Zeus!

In January 1973 an impromptu supergroup took over the airwaves on the Jazz Liisa series. Saxophonist Juhani Aaltonen, pianist Esa Helasvuo join bassist Teppo Hauta‐
Aho and drummer Edward Vesala in a special one‐of‐akind show of contemporary, revolutionary jazz.

The final part of the Jazz Liisa series sees the extraordinary cult percussion artist Edward Vesala lead a 9‐piece ensemble. Recorded in 1974, shortly before the recording of his legendary Nan Madol album, this is a rare chance to hear Vesala live on air during his early creative period.

Our 18‐part Pop Liisa series closes with one of the last of the radio shows in the Pop series. Donna’s set could be called a true lost gem – this reggae‐influenced rock group only recorded one single (on Love Records) before disbanding in 1979. This four track radio session features only previously unheard tracks and offers an idea what a Donna album might have sounded like. Tabula Rasa are one of the most influential and important acts of the Progressive Rock movement in 70’s Finland, and this radio session is the only surviving document of their later period after the departure of their original singer Jukka Leppilampi. Also features one unrecorded song, ‘Windy’.
