Jnks

Olli Riiho alias Jnks [FINRG, Hybridize, K1, QMTK DSGN, PaineRecors, S|DEFFECT] was born 1988 in Kerava, Finland and is currently living in Riihimäki. He started listening to electronic music already at the age of 10. Through listening to some mainstream eurodance he discovered one of Proteus’ mixtapes, which made a great influence on the young boy and eventually took him into the faster & harder edge of electronic dance-music.

After a few months of getting familiar with different genres he accidentally came across a track called “Angel Eyes” by Brisk&Ham. As a happy and energetic person, 175BPM Happy Hardcore was tailor-made for him!

Brisk & Ham – Angel Eyes

Main criterions for Jnks’ sets are fast tempo, catchy melodies, driving pace, aggressive mixing and an energetic stage show. If he is not behind decks, Jnks can be found on the dance floor raving like a maniac!

Nowadays Jnks is part of the infamous FINRG artist roster and is moving on to producing some tracks of his own. He also plays some techy Drum ‘n’ Bass under alias Rhino.
