Pavel Svimba – solo project of Joonas Wahlsten, who was born in the city of Lahti (1984) but grew up in the suburbs of Helsinki. Around of 90’s he got interested in electronic music and at the end of 90's he started fooling around with various music programs. In the year of 2000 he heard Texas Faggott for the very first time, and it kind of changed his life. He started to like the weird and funny melodies and sounds really really much and wanted to create something similar. Pavel Svimba project saw daylight in the year of 2006. “I just wanted to learn how to write tracks from start to end by myself, so I started writing tracks under name Pavel Svimba, the project name itself is an inside joke” says Joonas. In 2007 Antiscarp Records released his first “Bathrobe” EP, and right after he played first live gig which was in Moscow and second was already at Kazantip festival in Ukraine. After that he have been touring from Paris to Israel and from Izhevsk to Belgium etc and around Finland of course. He is also part of projects like Mullet Mohawk And The Sebastians, and have featured on albums like “Salakava - Fractal Fishing” and “Mandalavandalz - Poison Machine”. First talks about releasing a full length Pavel Svimba album started around 2008, the releaser was without a question Moscow based Hippie Killer Productions. 12 tracks which seemed to work best on dance floors around were carefully chosen for this album called “Space Babuska”. If u want to describe this music with 4 words, here they are: funky, ghetto, goa and trance.
