030203 : The battle must
continue! Once again the metal-armored cyborgs of Mr Velcro Fastener
meet the heavily armed battle-robots of Imatran Voima, this time in the
deadly arena of the restaurant Ilokivi. Judging their performance is
the arch-evil himself, Mono Junk - the last and the cruelest of the
chrome angels! We'll also witness the live-performance of the legendary
mentor and punisher Dr.Robotnik, from the electro-capital of our known
universe. During the course of the night your mainframe's rebooting
will be administered by dcom, Erkko and Toffo. Who will be the last to
exit the arena? Will the whole western civilization be destroyed by a
giant ball of fire? And will you, my dear robot, survive all this? You
are invited to Jyv�s-Elektro V at Ilokivi, Keskussairaalantie 2,
Jyv�skyl� from 2200 to 0400 AM. Age-limit 18, 2 floors open, tickets

Ilokivi.
We're seriously mixing styles again with some wonderful artists and acts. On the
live guest section, we'll have Magyar Posse,
a massive instrumental band from Pori who's music can be described as a
cross of Godspeed You Black Emperor, Tortoise and Sigur Ros; and from
Helsinki, our very own Lackluster, who's electric ambience will leave you breathless.
Our local Rikos-acts Jaakko Eino Kalevi from Laulurastas, and Le Kimono are going to rock the upper floor of Ilokivi.
On the dj-side we have the house-prodigy Tim O and Rikos's raving
lunatic Iso-Timo from Tampere, Gimmix from J-Funk Jyv�skyl� and
the usual Rikos DJ:s, with a special performance from
Profeetta/Laulurastas!
The 10th Rikos-club will be held on Saturday 9th November, at Ilokivi, Jyv�skyl�; from
21:00 to 04:00AM. Tickets �5, age-limit 18.

RIKOSKLUBI IX: RIKOS-PSYKOOSI II - 'PAHA MATKA'.
We're thrilled to organize our 2nd two-floor psychedelic club in Ilokivi,
the restaurant that kept Jyv�skyl�'s stone rolling! And certainly not least
because of our line-up! Check out these live performers! :
THE DAMO SUZUKI NETWORK,
Kuusumun Profeetta, Mother Goose, PUOLA and Walter Egon Vapauskysymys!
On the decks we have our beloved Squint from the cream of Helsinki,
Kerma - and
Jyv�skyl�'s very own sauerkraut-expert Fedja-set�. Plus a bunch of
psychedelia-experts from the Rikos-family stoned on Kevin Ayers and
Suomen Talvisota (no, you won't hear so called 'psychedelic-trance'
during this party).
Since you've probably figured out already this is an ad, we'll reveal
rest of the
details now. The party will be held on Friday 25.10. (that's just a
couple of weeks from now!), there's room for around 800 people, bars
are open in two floors,
the doors are open from 21:00 to 04:00 AM, there's five-live acts (with
Can's
lead-singer performing in one of them!:) and five dj:s .. and the
tickets cost ONLY 6�! (no-advance)
Five words: Don't miss this party.
020823 :
THE NEW LAULURASTAS SINGLE HAS BEEN RELEASED!
Yes, RIKOS009 is here finally. And it's massive. There are no words to
describe
the beauty of it. Please don't confuse this with the
'suomireggae'-phenomenon nonsense, this is the real stuff. Engineered
by Prinssi Ky�peli and Dr.Robotnik, it's gonna dub your brain to
another dimension.
Get your copies from Lifesaver, Voltti or your favorite record-dealer. Contact

020521 : Rikos Records released today: ALKUPER�INEN 7" (RIKOS00C) and ERCOLA: BONUS LEVEL 12" EP (RIKOS00D)!
Alkuper�inen is a local bum and musical genius from uptown Jyv�skyl�
who's deep and dark bad trip -hop has gained cult status among those
who creep the sewers of Central-Finland's electro-capital. With two
twisted tracks produced by Dr.Robotnik and Prinssi Ky�peli and vocals
by Profeetta/Laulurastas, this release is guaranteed to be a hit among
those who know that musical therapy plays an important part in the
recovery of mental patients.
Meanwhile Ercola's four-track ep's hot
melodic house crossed over with electro and acoustic instruments is
gonna shake more booty than Cosmic Girl ever did!
Contact us our your favorite record-dealer for these cuties.

Dr.Robotnik, containing three tracks; The World in Your Eyes,
