DJ Ibusal
“Mukava Paikka” is the fourth album from DJ Ibusal, set to be released digitally, on vinyl, and on cassette on October 4, 2024 via Skorpioni Records.
“I’ve always been a comfort-seeking type. I’m good at avoiding all the difficult stuff and I put a lot of effort into making sure my life is as relaxed as possible. And maybe I’ve succeeded—I’ve got a nice home, a nice car, a nice job, and nice neighbors. Despite all of this, I often feel quite uneasy. And for some reason, that feeling doesn’t go away, no matter how many nice things I surround myself with.
By 2024, I had accumulated quite a lot of demos and sketches in my drawer. Listening back, I realized they all revolved around that comfortable environment and the uneasy feeling. Now the lyrics have finally been assembled into full songs, forming the album Mukava Paikka. You can take the title either with quotation marks or without.” – DJ Ibusal
Also known as Thube Hefner from Gasellit, DJ Ibusal released his previous solo album Yksin kotona 17 (Home Alone 17) in January 2018. The album, featuring hits like Pilalla and Anna mun olla rauhas (“Let Me Be in Peace”), offered a laconic, reflective style that became one of the year’s most delightful surprises for many rap listeners. Ibusal’s rare live shows were nearly always sold out.
