Released by Ultraääni, 2024

Sonic Joy is the latest release from longtime collaborators Tuure Tammi (keys & trumpet) and Juha Sarkkola (drums)—the masterminds behind the independent label Odd Funk Records and owners of Odd Funk Studio. The duo has previously worked together on numerous projects, including The Blassics, Mush Tone Ensemble, and Odd Jazz Vol. 1 & 2.

Known for their love of vinyl culture and crisp analogue sound, they team up with Pascal Tokpanou (percussion) and Ray Järvinen (bass) to produce this trippy album. It explores analog experimentation with reel-to-reel mixing and features spacey, funky grooves, ethio-jazz influences, and organic jam sessions. Kick back and enjoy! It's the perfect medicine for your mind and soul, offering energized and enthralling improvised music rooted in a 60s raw funk aesthetic.
