Mr Velcro Fastener, the finnish duo of Tatu Metsätähti and Tatu Peltonen, started making music in the early 90´s. They met the first time in school when Peltonen moved to Turku, the city of electronic music of Finlan. Quite soon they recognized similar interests in music. Peltonen´s experiences in music before that came mostly from his father´s studio in middle of Finland. By that time Metsätähti had been experiencing with open reel tape recorder, turntable and some computer software. The first studio sessions at Peltonen´s father´s Studio Musikeero took place in ´93 after they have had their techno boom and then the main influences came from the electronic listening music of that time (A.I. series, etc…). ´93–´96 the guys visited the studio regularily, but also at the same time they gathered stuff and instruments for their own studio called Miletos. ´97 the name Mr Velcro Fastener originated and the music had already gone a little bit more rougher it was electro! The year after the group was ready for the first release “Wad EP”, released on their own label Tie Entertainment. The record was noticed in the genre and got many boasting reviews all around the world. Few months after the second EP “Robots 4 Life” came out, on Tie Entertainment as well. The next step was to join the German label i220 Music. The Label introduced the band with the “Tie Entertainers” 12” followed by their debut album “Lucky Bastards Living Up North”. In late ´99 the guys went on a month long “Lucky Bastards tour” to middle Europe and promoted it with the successful special edition EP “Which Scenario”. The releases of the year 2000 consisted of “Electric Appliances” remixes and the hit 12” “Who´s Gonna Bend” which was again very well noticed. Tracks from that EP featured on BBC´s Tinsel Town soundtrack and Pete Tong´s radio playlist. The title track was also licensed to Dave Clarke´s mix compilation “World Service” which was released by React.2001 and 2002 was under the sign of the “Otherside” series (12” and LP) and also the year of their personal breakthrough. From this time on Mr Velcro Fastener got more and more popular Lots of gigs and a growing fan base were following.Now in 2003 time has come for their first release on Zenit, the label runed by Corrado Izzo and Marco Carola. Over 6 years have been passed since this production till the final release. The album “Thales of Miletos” is different than the typical Zenit orientated style, comes up with a mix of deep and atmospheric stuff. The Velcros work´ will be a strictly limited release, is a tribute for Corrado´s and Marco´s love and passion to music: Music with emotion.
