Pan Sonic

Pan Sonic were a Finnish electronic duo formed in Turku in 1993 by Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, and active until 2009. They made minimal electronic music from pulses, tones and noise, and released most of their albums on the British label Blast First. The group first recorded as Panasonic and dropped a letter after the electronics company threatened legal action, a change the title of their 1999 album A alludes to. Pan Sonic released their first records on the Finnish label Sähkö, including the Panasonic EP in 1994.
