miika kuisma

Miika Kuisma is a finnish musician, artist, philosopher, futurist and inventor who's passion is to understand fundamental nature of the reality by exploring spirituality, science, history and technology. In early 90's he got big revelation in a small house club and walked out as a new person. From that moment he knew dance music was 'for him'. His first electronic records which influenced him the most include works by Jarre, Cosmic Baby, Moby, Prodigy, Faithless and early Eye-Q releases.

In early 90's he got big revelation in a small house club and walked out as a new person. From that moment he knew dance music was 'for him'. His first electronic records which influenced him the most include works by Jarre, Cosmic Baby, Moby, Prodigy, Faithless and early Eye-Q releases. After falling in love with so many electronic styles by now, also his own productions have become somewhat unpredictable.

His tracks are usually somewhere between progressive and melodic, while not being not 'too deep' or 'too cheesy'. On the DJ'ing side Miika was known for his perfectionistic approach to build his sets in certain way. Especially his "Intelligent Design" radio mixes were trips across different moods and genres.

Miika has spent most of his life playing around with technical gear but also loved to draw and play instruments from very early age. After getting his degree in electricity he turned around and took career paths in graphic design, programming, animation and user-interface design.

Besides music production and performances he played key role in the concept and interface-design with EKS in the development of the MIDI controller EKS Otus. He played his last DJ gig in April of 2009, sold his record label "Subtraxx Recordings" for Bonzai Music and relocated into South-East Asia.
