"Tilliander's hyperbolic beat sensibility suggests enchanting things to come" - URB "Miasmatic computer ejaculations - a foreshadowing of the next decade's party music" - ALTERNATIVE PRESS

Stockholm, Sweden's own ANDREAS TILLIANDER aka MOKIRA jumped out of nowhere with last year's influential RASTER NOTON release CLIP-HOP, then followed by MILLE PLATEAUX's LJUD, the latter being one of the label's most popular releases of 2001...aand rightfully so. MOKIRA has the uncanny ability to take the popular aesthetic of minimalist glitchy soundscapes then spasmodically integrate it with the essence of r'n'b and hip-hop's most outlandish sensibilities. With PLEE, the evolution of TILLIANDER's tendencies broaden, a series of offerings that reach near-sublime quality. MOKIRA stands out of the overwhelming spectrum of minimalist electronics currently out there, and accentuates that the click-electronics field is much more than a passing fad.
