Maustetytöt
Maustetytöt's music is an irresistible combination of catchy melodies and hyper-realistic lyrics that one can really relate to. Maustetytöt released their debut single "Tein kai lottorivini väärin" in early 2019. The song immediately became a modern classic and has been streamed over 10 million times. Maustetytöt have released three albums so far. All the albums can be found at the top of the best-selling albums charts in Finland every year.
Awards, gold records, and hundreds of sold-out concerts have solidified Maustetytöt's position as one of Finland's most popular bands. Their recent collaboration with iconic director and auteur Aki Kaurismäki in his acclaimed movie Fallen Leaves has opened doors internationally for the band. Since 2023, Maustetytöt have been touring in France, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Spain, the Netherlands, Greece, Poland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Estonia. Maustetytöt has been featured in international media like The New York Times, The Guardian, Vogue, and Rolling Stone.

Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio mix the ancient Sámi vocal tradition of yoik with modern electronic music. Hildá Länsman is a singer, yoiker, and musician from Utsjoki, the northernmost Finnish part of the Sápmi region – one of the region's strongest vocalists, and a proud knowledge bearer and champion of the vocal style luohti. Together with sound designer, composer, producer, and musician Tuomas Norvio, she blends Sámi vocal tradition with cutting-edge electronic beats, creating a modern concert experience that invites both movement and emotion. Länsman brings the spirit of Sámi identity into Norvio's intricate soundscapes, brimming with urban urgency and metropolitan melancholy, setting a timely reminder of a deeper connection to the natural world echoing through concrete streets. Their debut album Dajan was released in 2025. Read more about Hilda Länsman on our recent spotlight article.

Muovipussi is a full-energy, queer electronic music group from Finland. The music of Milla Lahtinen, Niklas Blomberg, and Heidi Finnberg includes elements from genres like rap, crispy pop, punk, and metal. The name of the band means ‘plastic bag’. Muovipussi’s shows are explosive, full of punky energy, and genuinely peculiar, guaranteed to keep you entertained. Muovipussi creates concerts with ingredients that have not been experienced live before. The Finns challenge us to let go of dull and dusty norms and beliefs.
