About Donnell & Douglas
The aerodynamic duo of Donnell & Douglas consists of Finnish writers Joel Kalsi and Ari Myllymäki, who started the project in the fall of 1999 to create more experimental and darker music along the dance music projects they had in the past. The cold blooded Finns work at Studio Ice Cube, which is not just a clever name, but really consist of recycled industry cold room parts. - It keeps the warm air inside during winters and outside during summers, Joel and Ari laugh. Neither one of the boys have a musical education, but they are both self-educated on music and audio production by working around with different projects. They started composing together in early 1996 with trackers, but soon changed in to sequencing with studio equipment at late 1997. Developed skills demanded high quality equipment, but years passed until computers and the home studio were developed enough for creating the music they visioned. Joel first got into music making through rudimentary computers from his childhood such as the Spectravideo 328. He started to program games and compose the music. Later on he got some extra training on audio and radio commercial production by working at Studio Mediabeat during 2000-2001 and this is actually how 'The club is open' got that phat speech; It was performed by Jari Huhtala, the CEO of Mediabeat and a professional vocal performer.
