Stiletti City Tape Archives is the fourth Stiletti-Ana album, showing off the Finnish mastermind's talent for making electronic music that's immediately inviting while generously rewarding the focused listener. Following on stand-out work for labels like Public Posession and Höga Nord -- not to mention all sorts of odd jobs within the Sex Tags multiverse -- Stiletti-Ana presents his latest offering: eight irresistible jams cooked up in the hallowed halls of Helsinki's Haista II studio. Here, vintage and modern synths joined forces with live drums and the occasional robot-voiced interjection, resulting in a body of work that's dazzlingly off-kilter, rich in detail and instantly addictive. The artist himself states: "I think the music has a sense of urgency which relates to city life. Still, Stiletti City is a small and cozy place, a bit freaky and not gentrified." Stockholm label Studio Barnhus is delighted to invite fellow travelers into this secret town -- welcoming and full of surprises.

Ilari Larjosto aka Stiletti-Ana, legend of Helsinki's underground, is involved in K-X-P, Tähtiportti, DJ Candle in the Wind, Jimi Tenor, Randy Barracuda, and acclaimed band Jesse. With a fuzzy melody and galloping bassline, the richly layered and highly danceable "Universal Carrier" is equally indebted to krautrock and disco. "Through the Skyline I Heard Ur Voice" is an uplifting, playful slow jam with larger-than-life drum machines and maximal synth-work. The blissed-out "Time We Left This World Today (Part 2)" features layers of haunting melody and an understated yet efficient beat.
