Keramick & Lobo is a project by two of the long-time Freaky Beats-producers Jussi Mikkonen and Visa Mäkinen. The music of the duo can be described as melodic and electro-acoustic. As their sound borrows a lot from electronic music styles such as idm, downtempo, ambient and glitch, it also compiles the characteristics of acoustic music like jazz, dub, pop and even a bit of rock. This reflects in a heavy use of instruments such as electric bass, electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards and drums mixed together in a subtle fusion with the computer programming and electronic aspects. Their latest album also features guest musicians, which widens their instrumental spectrum with instruments like acoustic bass, reed and brass instruments and even vocalists.

As talentless lyricists and sucka dj's have a tight grip over the cold and windy streets of Helsinki City, our only hope of salvation, MAGIKMICK has come TO THE RESCUE. The two Superdope all-around-artists, KERAMICK and DJ MAGIKMAN form a Mighty and Invincible character of MAGIKMICK, who's mission is to bring BANGIN' RAP SHIT to your stereo system once and for all.
No human can stand in the way of MAGIKMICK's steel piercing X-RAY VISION nor his SUPERHUMAN SPEED and CONSTITUTION. As legions of mcs marvel at his AMAZING RHYMING ABILITIES, one should know that all of his superpowers are obtained simply by consuming a FULL KEG OF GUINNESS. Only few mortal djs are able to match his Mind-Blowing and RAZOR SHARP CUTTING SKILLS. He is known of being impervious to most forms of damage, including BULLETS, EXPLOSIONS and other abuse fatal to a normal human being.
Our hero is a MASTER OF MANY MARTIAL ARTS, hand-to-hand weapons, and close quarters combat. His body is the PINNACLE OF HUMAN ABILITY and has been honed by many years of training. He is also EXTREMELY AGILE and is an ACCOMPLISHED GYMNAST AND ACROBAT, with many years of moving over the Helsinki City landscape to keep him on his toes.

K.V.N & Lobo is a duo of the beat making brothers Mio Mäkinen and Visa Mäkinen. They both have been producing hiphop beats for over a decade, but decided to join forces in 2008. As a result from this collaboration, two juicy K.V.N & Lobo -beat tapes have now seen daylight; "The Dead End Kidz" and "Welcome to the Dead End". Both of the albums include bangin' instrumentals aside with thematics and excerpts from film-noir and 50's gangster movies. The Mäkinen brothers are inspired mostly by 90's NYC-style hiphop, though utilizing plenty of fresh and modern production tactics in their own work.
