  • New single “Ajaton Olema”

    New single “Ajaton Olema”

    Hello. For all of those who might be wondering about new Jääportit material, other time-consuming music projects have kept this project lurking in the shadows for some time.

    It is still hard to say whether there will be another album, but here is a new single track titled “Ajaton Olema“, released digitally. Work on the track began in 2011 and the mix was finished in 2014. Listen to it on SoundCloud or YouTube.

    The fact is that Jääportit lives on, no matter what, and as a one-man project it can never split up. All possibilities are open: there is always another gateway to be found and sounds to explore.

    More to come.

    Best regards,
    T. M. Mäkelä, Jääportit

  • Hexvessel’s Guide To Finnish Psychedelia

    Mat Kvohst McNerney of the mighty Hexvessel presents an awesome mix of far-out Finnish sounds on Quietus Mix 71: Hexvessel’s Guide To Finnish Psychedelia. Jääportit was proudly included on the mix too.

    He also wrote:

    Jääportit are a real space ticket. Our keyboard player Jussi is rarely seen without his Jääportit shirt, which he proudly sports at our shows. They manage to mix a lot of styles quite naturally while making it their own sound. I like how they could exist in a vacuum, they’re not tied to any trend or referencing any particular scene. It’s just good old trippy stuff!
