Luomuhappo is Jere Häkkinen (
1982 -), aSuomisaundi producer fromFinland . He is one of the original founders ofFreakdance Records . He started his musical creations in the mid-90's using a tracker software and theRoland MC-505 groovebox. Häkkinen released his first self-made CDR demo, titled "Juotsen Kutsu" in2001 under the artist name 'Espoon happo ja luomu'. Mainly created with the MC-505, Juotsen Kutsu had songs ranging from the combination ofpsy-trance ,breakbeat and electro into ambientdowntempo . Distributed on theInternet , the cross-genre promo release caught the attention of many.Häkkinen then changed his artist name into Luomuhappo, which roughly translated means 'organic acid' in Finnish. In
2002 he released another promotional CDR, the tracker-made "Eurogorilla 2002 Transmutation Kit ". On this second CDR release were also included two of Luomuhappo's remixes of Finnish underground psy-trance artists,Huopatossu Mononen andOmituisten Otusten Kerho (O.O.K.). Luomuhappo's Eurogorilla 2002 Transmutation Kit was also the first release under Freakdance Records label name and the album has later become somewhat a cult classic and a true collector's item due to the small print of about 50 copies.In 2004, Freakdance Records released a CD album from Luomuhappo, titled
Pog-O-Matic Pogómen 3000000 . The initial print was 700 copies and it was soon sold out. In December 2005,Borealophitecus (meaning "the ape of the north") was released on cassette (with a limited print of 100 copies) and as freely downloadable MP3's on the Freakdance Records website.In spring 2007,
