Kompleksi etsii uutta jäsentä, joka on halukas myös esiintymään livekeikoilla,
mieluiten Tampereen alueelta. Jos hallitset koskettimet ja ohjelmoinnin, ja koet olevasi samalla musiikillisella aaltopituudella kanssamme [katso oheinen lista vaikutteista], ota yhteyttä!
(Looking for a new member, who's also willing to do live gigs, preferably in Tampere area. If keyboards and programming are your thing and Kompleksi's style feels right for you [see Influences], just get in touch!)
Kompleksi ei toistaiseksi tee livekeikkoja.
(For the time being, Kompleksi doesn't do any live gigs.)

'Ghost At Noon' (by Kompleksi vs Citizen Omega). Our own take on hauntology, inspired by Alberto Moravia, R.D. Laing, Giorgio De Chirico and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari by Robert Wiene.

Here's for a limited time Javelin's remix of Kompleksi vs. Polytron's 'Moscow 1980'. The vocals were sung by Larkin Grimm, Annelise Grimm and Tom Van Buskirk of Javelin "in a warm attic in Georgia". Javelin hail from Providence, RI, USA, and have released a 7" called 'Oh Centra' for Finnish Lal Lal Lal; the same label also releasing Kompleksi's first 7" '(I Ain't) No Lovechild' in 2005.

Lyrics
>> More Kompleksi soundfiles @ pHinnWeb <<
Kompleksi ("complex" in Finnish) are Mike Not and pHinn, two ex-suicide candidates from Tampere (often called "Finland's Manchester"), who ride in a red Lada through the gloomy streets of their rainy post-industrial town; the home of ice hockey fanatics, world's last working Lenin Museum and countless sex shops.
They started making music together in 2002. Kompleksi's first 7" single, '(I Ain't No) Lovechild'/'Moscow 1980' was released in May 2005 on Finnish Lal Lal Lal label. They have also appeared on compilations of Bunker (NL), White Label Music (UK), Mate Recordings (UK), 267 Lattajjaa (FIN) and pHinnMilk (FIN). Furthermore, Kompleksi has created yet-to-be-released remixes for Finnish cult artist M.A. Numminen, "the godfather of Finnish underground" and the indie/electropop act Boys of Scandinavia.
Mike Not (star sign: Scorpio - keyboards, production, programming, sound engineering, mixing) has produced music since the early 90s under such monikers as Noise Production. Furthermore, he has produced and engineered records for such artists as the hip hop posse Nuera and their Finnish chart-busting Petri Nygård project, also the gothrock band Suruaika.
pHinn (star sign: Leo - vocals, keyboards) has since 1996 maintained a Website called pHinnWeb on Finnish electronic, experimental and leftfield music. His previous act was called Club Telex Noise Ensemble.
Kompleksi also has such "hang-around members" as Citizen Omega, Polytron, Unidentified Sound Objects and Sonic Temple Assassins, who have all created tracks in collaboration with Kompleksi.
Kompleksi's debut album, Sister Longlegs Dances In The Disco, is available as digital download through iTunes (see above for the info on how to get it).
And for you DJs and vinyl freaks, the album is released also as a limited edition vinyl (VERDU-24), on Helsinki's Verdura Records, 15 October 2008.
Kompleksi's music is black with splashes of day-glo.
File under: post-industrial soul, post-Soviet electro, afro-gothic, eclectro.
