Aku Raski

Electro house, Musical Artist

Who is Aku Raski?

Huoratron is the brainchild of electronic music producer Aku Raski who started it as a musical project in 2003 and then adopted the name himself.

His sinister vision has taken form in just a few releases: Some material for Finnish label New Judas, including the proactively aggressive Prevenge EP, containing angry blip-fest “$$ Troopers” and “Corporate Occult,” a slice of electro-house gone horribly awry. A set of remixes that changed H.I.M.’s “InVenere Veritas” from a jangly bit of radio rock to a doomed ride aboard a haunted 747; and M.I.A.’s “Internet Connection” from her usual minimal-funky hoedown to a sizzling nuclear rain storm. But after signing to Last Gang Records in 2010, Raski hit the studio, emerging a year later with a flintier glint in his eye, and Cryptocracy, his first full-length album.

“To be blatantly honest I do not personally feel a close resemblance to many, if any, artist within my scene,” Huoratron has explained. “This is mostly because I'm driven by my own vigorousmotivation and do what I do despite associations made by others. I mean no disrespect by this. It is simply a fact that I, as an artist am in the center of the storm and feel content there.”

Cryptocracy is a journey of destruction, driven by chip synths, distortion and gut-punching bass. Recognizable sounds peak their heads out occasionally: A house riff on “Transcendence,” a dubstep passon “Sea of Meat,” stripped-down techno on “A699F.” But they’re swallowed up by an apocalyptic wave; the noises, textures and sonic sneak attacks that are Huoratron’s signature, born more from a feeling than a genre focus.
