Esa Juhani Ruoho is one among the up and coming ambient electronic artists in Finland today. His first major label release, Container (deFocus, UK) was well received by critics and the electronic enthusiasts alike. He has after that had releases thru labels like Merck (Miami,US), Rikos Records (Finland), U-cover (Belgium), Inc.Us (Belgium), Zeal Records (Belgium), Psychonavigation (Ireland), New Speak Records (Sweden).
Born October 26, 1978 in Helsinki, Esa first became interested in computer music when he was 6. Some of his early favorites were the songs created for C64 games, later modules by such luminaries as Aleksi Eeben, Niko Nyman, Sami Järvinen, and others, on the Commodore Amiga. By 1994, Esa had shifted his musical interests to ambient/idm and has later on flourished as a member of the Helsinki scene, providing music for various netlabels like monotonik and kahvi.
Currently, Esa continues to release thru several international labels and explores new tracks & techniques at his flat in eastern Helsinki.
Angel Draganov (a.k.a. Polygon Ring, Scallis), originally from Rousse, Bulgaria, strated producing music in 1995. His first compositions fitted in the soothing melodic side of ambient, with occasional sidesteps into noise and drone and various tape experiments. These early works came before he had the chance to use computer based tools to create music and were realized with the help of a cheap synthesizer, a couple of tape recorders and a dictaphone used for field recordings. In the course of the following years he was a part of a rock band called Virus, where he played keyboards. The band's music was a mixture of hardcore and hip hop. Virus used to play regularly in various clubs around the city of Rousse and became relatively popular locally. Throughout these years, Angel continued working on his personal projects which resulted in many tracks of various styles - from drum'n'bass through techno to obscure experimental pieces. Virus got disbanded in 2000, several months after Angel's first tracks under the Polygon Ring moniker were released on the web through the now defunct Trax In Space archive. These works were tracker based, created with ModPlug. After several releases there he became a part of two netlabels - Zrax (for the more experimental projects) and Hedfone (a strictly techno oriented label). A couple of years later, after the two labels' demise, his music found home on Kahvi Collective where he occasionally releases single offerings. Just a fraction of Polygon Ring's works have been released to wider public as the remaining part of his production is usually passed among friends.
Folder gathered in 2002 at the University of Rousse and started spontaneously their project, which is fully experimental and unlimited in any aspect. Folder has released their first album 'Melio Rate' on a limited amount of audio cassettes in 2003 and gave nearly all of the copies as presents to their friends. The first track from the album, 'Sentrel', was later released on Jisatsuken's second CD compilation 'Kokaku#2'. Folder has a second album called 'Future Fusion Fiction Factory' which is not released anywhere till now. After finishing their education in the University of Rousse at the end of 2003 Svetlozar has returned
home in Gorna Oryahovitsa and it became hard for him to participate directly in the band. Nevertheless he remains an important part of the past, present and future of Folder.

Kliment Dichev's solo project emerges after years of musical creativity and experience in sound manipulation between ambient/chill out and progressive/psy trance. Since 2001 he passed through several electronic music projects: Samodelia, Mana, Disham. These where times of experiments with various styles and influences, mystic & magic tunning them always. Now he still tend to look around for quite different soundings (deep club music, conceptual psychedelic, idm & experimental) and fusion them together in a groovy shape for the dance floor.
New chill album should be released within Electrik dream label by the end of 2007. Its main directions are traveling from psychedelic ambient & idm to deep ethnic/classical elements: a timeless expression story of freedom.
