LUOMO / CONVIVIAL (2008)

A great release of vocal house music.
Sasu Ripatti is the producer and head writer behind Luomo, his musical outfit that has redrawn the boundaries of what house music can achieve. Always a shy man, Ripatti returns into view to introduce to the world Convivial; his latest, and fourth, album as Luomo. But this time he doesn’t have to arrive alone. In addition to long-time collaborator Johanna Iivanainen (from Helsinki, Finland), he lands with a semi-underground star cast; Cassy (Panorama Bar), Sascha Ring (Apparat), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Robert Owens, Sue-C and an anonymous singer masquerading as Chubbs.

The album is not so much of an assembly as a series of commentaries, interspersed with contemporaneous studio stylings and entries from travel diaries he kept while working on the album. For the first time there’s a real collaboration between him and the singers; where he didn’t write all the lyrics himself but left plenty of room for his collaborators to bring in the lyrics and musical ideas. The title refers to the rather convivial vibe and social atmosphere that surrounded the making-of the album; something new in Luomo’s production history. The main hub to record and create the album was again Berlin, as is in so many cases today, but since then he decided to relocate to his home country of Finland, where he finished the album and is currently living.
