Sistol is an early moniker of Sasu Ripatti, the Finnish producer who proceeded to turn the electronic music world on its head with a number of critically-acclaimed projects such as Vladislav Delay, Luomo, Uusitalo, and more. Phthalo gave Ripatti his first release in 1999 with the self-titled ‘Sistol’. This early work finds Ripatti’s sound in an embryonic, minimal state, which nonetheless conveys Ripatti’s meticulous, detailed production.
