Mika Vainio (born 15 May, 1963, Helsinki, Finland - died 12 April, 2017, France, aged 53) was a Finnish electronic musician, composer and producer. He began his musical career playing electronics and drums as part of the early Finnish industrial and noise scene. In 1993, together with *Ilpo Väisänen* and *Sami Salo*, he founded the minimal electronic group *Pan Sonic*. Sami Salo left Pan Sonic in 1996 and the project continued as a duo until disbanding in 2009. Vainio then established a successful solo career, often collaborating with experimental French composer *François Bonnet*.

Throughout his career, Mika Vainio pushed boundaries and experimented with various sounds to create unique compositions. His music is characterized by its minimalist approach and incorporation of industrial elements. With his distinct style, he became an influential figure in the electronic music scene.

Some artists who share similar styles or influences with Mika Vainio include CoH, alva noto, Ryoji Ikeda, Frank Bretschneider, Komet, Grischa Lichtenberger, Aleph-1 Byetone Mark Fell Ø Kangding Ray Taylor Deupree Senking Akira Rabelais Oval Vladislav Delay Stephan Mathieu SND David Toop Jan Jelinek.

Mika visited the Moog Sound-Lab in April 2015. He made one his last known solo studio recordings in the form of two vinyl sized side long pieces. Entitled Lydspor - Danish for Soundtrack. Mika worked almost exclusively with the lab’s Moog Modular System 55. This UK sound -lab instrument is the sole prototype model (containing several golden filters) of moog’s recent Sold out reverse-engineered edition (55 units only) recreating the 1970’s classic. On completion of his sessions Mika announced ‘i could work with this machine for the rest of my life….I would need nothing else”. A second moog session was planned but tragically Mika died in an accident in April 2017, shortly after he had approved the vinyl mastering.
