Goodbye Grovskopa

As you have probably noticed, since my near death motorbike crash in early 2010, Grovskopa has been very quiet both release and DJ wise.
I feel that instead of letting this project fade into nothingness, I will just be 100% honest with everyone.

For some reason, yet unknown to me, my relation to industrial/hard/dark techno changed that day in 2010. I used to feel a profound connection with it and really it was larger than life itself to me. It was my air. At times I took it a little too serious (oh how many fights...) But even that felt right, "in the name of techno!".
I still love the music, but it doesn't force me into movement, give me taste of blood in the mouth or goosebumps like it used to.

Of course I could continue to make and DJ the music, but right now it would just be empty formulaic shells instead of something true and emotional. Techno and its followers (you) deserve more than that.

So, I have decided to stop the project. That means both Grovskopa and the labels Emergence and Pohjola (as well as all charts, facebooking etc,).
Ofcourse I am still making music (all kinds of oddities), but what I will do with it is still unknown to me.

To all of you who has supported me in my 10+ years of releasing I am eternally grateful. It has been amazing. It has given me so many life long friends and experiences as well as opportunities to see places I probably never would have otherwise. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

Much love, Mika.

PS: I am doing one more gig, Berghain february 4th. And there should be a remix coming out on Sev Dah's Gynoid Audio EP as well as an 'It's All For You' vinyl sampler on Sect. These are the last outings.
