Pan Sonic was a Finnish electronic duo formed by Mika Vainio and Ilpo Väisänen, renowned for their minimalist yet visceral approach to sound. Emerging in the 1990s from Finland’s experimental scene, they fused analog synthesis, industrial textures, and precise rhythmic structures into stark sonic sculptures. Their work, both under the Pan Sonic name and through numerous collaborations, influenced generations of electronic and avant-garde artists. With releases on labels such as Blast First and Mute, Pan Sonic established a legacy defined by innovation, restraint, and the physical power of pure sound.
