Infekto [step back]

                                                                  
Infekto (Riku Pentti) has been the broken beats pioneer in Finland since 1994.
Co-founder of the first Finnish breakbeat label Pyssy and half of the chart
topping hip hop/beats producer duo Skillsters.

Many Finnish hip hop acts have hired Infekto's avantgarde scratching skills. He
is also the founder of the eclectic breakbeat club Beatformers now stronger
than ever in its 6th year. As his infulences he always mentions Spede (Finnish
comedian/inventor), Chevy Chase & Biz Markie !!

Infekto's tunes and DJ sets combine the whole spectrum of broken beats from funk
to hip hop to nu breaks to drum& bass not forgetting the raw ol' skool hardcore
sound of 92' and a touch of jazz. His first release on nine2five "Left hand
Jazz" got rave reviews from some of the biggest names in the business: appeared
on a Gilles Peterson comp on the cover of MUZIK magazine etc.

And that was just opening the flood gates. What followed was wide variety of breakbeat mayhem and critical acclaim on such UK labels as Passenger, Hospital, Menu Music and Heavy Disco.

Infekto's dare we say it, 'infectious', breakbeat bootegs on the unofficial "medcab" label ("Me Myself and I", "Infekto's Message" and "Warzone") have been among the most creative and enjoyable unofficial breaks mixes of the past year.

His debut album "Occam's Razor" pulls together all the biggest 12" hits and sprinkles some real goodies on top. Brand new tracks including Flash Lighter and Sexy dancer have been gaining support from all the A league breaks DJs.
