WINDOWS95MAN - NO RULES!
Windows95man (Teemu Keisteri) is a well-known entertainer/dj/visual artist/radio host/dancer/model, widely appreciated in Finland and throughout the world. He is a sweet and pleasant individual, a bit of a shy nerd during the daytime, but when he puts on his uniform — the infamous Windows95 shirt and denim hotpants combo — and gets on the stage in the evenings, he transforms into a superman!
Dubbed Finland's most entertaining DJ, Windows95man has toured extensively throughout Finland in recent years, also making appearances overseas in places like Japan, a Finnair flight, and Tenerife. His sets, consisting of 90s eurodance, techno hits and unexpected surprises, have combined with such intense live performances that the audiences have been left breathless. Keisteri's endeavors and sometimes quite unique artistic content are followed globally.
After years of waiting, the fans of Windows95man finally got what they have long been craving. His debut single - 90s eurodance inspired fast tempo pop song No Rules! has everything you could hope for in a complete self-esteem-boosting party-hard-and-dance-your-heart-out banger.
No Rules! got its world premiere in the final of UMK, the biggest and most appreciated music contest in Finland. The stunningly joyful supershow made of Teemu Keisteri’s Maximum No Rules attitude, Henri Piispanen’s unbelievable vocals and the mythical denim egg lead the duo to unexpected but indisputable victory and to represent Finland in Eurovision 2024
Song Contest. Windows95Man’s unforgettably iconic Eurovision performance was noted widely around the world and got the artist featured in Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Graham Norton Show, NME, Vogue Scandinavia, NBC and BBC just to mention few.
“No Rules" is a guideline that Keisteri has followed throughout his whole artistic career and adult life. It’s a simple phrase that commands you to forget how one should dress, look, love, or behave, according to the norms set by society. Don’t let others define who you are — do what you love, and forget the rules! -
Emerging as one of Poland's most prominent new talents, LUNA, the country’s representative for Eurovision 2024, returns with her mesmerising new single, ‘Personal Torture.’ Following the breakout success of her introspective hit ‘Wild West,’ this haunting electro-pop anthem arrives with a gripping visualizer. The track provides an intriguing preview of her forthcoming sophomore album, ‘No Rest,’ set for release on 7th February 2025.
‘Personal Torture’ delves into a mesmerising new facet of LUNA’s robotic electronica, combining a pulsing bassline with evocative vocals over an infectious, static beat. Driven by 80s-inspired synths and a captivating chorus, the song’s lyrics conjure a dark, enchanting atmosphere that aligns perfectly with its catchy melodies. Offering a taste of the immersive intensity of ‘No Rest,’ the track explores the relentless pursuit of unyielding dreams and reflects LUNA’s deeply personal revelations.
LUNA’s highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘No Rest,’ delivers a vibrant blend of pop and electronica crafted to fill dance floors with its ethereal, high-energy sound. Originally written as an ode to "restless souls," the album is designed to resonate deeply, combining addictive rhythms with intimate lyrics. Celebrating the journey of pursuing dreams in a challenging world, it captures a sense of catharsis across a collection of unforgettable tracks.
Combining high-tempo anthems with synth-driven ballads, ‘No Rest’ is an exploration of the tension between exhaustion and exhilaration. LUNA strives for a balance between her perceptive lyrics and memorable hooks, forging an uplifting sonic experience throughout. Backed by polished production, her distinct voice stands at the forefront, inviting listeners
to an embrace of soft vulnerability and powerful, soaring choruses.
With this album, LUNA aims to transform a raw facade of emotions into a sense of release, reiterating its reflective messages and elements of social commentary in its core. It’s a pathway to resilience which captures both the quiet and the chaos, oUering solace in the understanding that the most profound revelations come when we’re at our most undone. LUNA’s breakout moment came with her debut EP, ‘Caught in the Night’, which landed on 14 international Spotify New Music Friday playlists worldwide. This early success was further solidified when LUNA received a nomination for the prestigious Bestseller of Empik Award in 2021, highlighting her growing influence within the Polish music industry. However, it was the release of her debut full-length album, ‘Nocne Zmory’, in April 2022 that truly cemented her status as a major force in Poland’s alternative music scene. The album’s dark, atmospheric production and deeply personal themes struck a chord with both critics and fans alike, earning widespread acclaim.
With a string of chart-topping hits and over 20 million streams to her name, LUNA has become one of Poland’s most influential voices. Her performance at Eurovision 2024 solidified her place in the European music scene, and she continues to inspire fans with her evocative lyrics and energetic sound. Her growing stardom was showcased with her image lighting up New York’s Times Square billboard and ranked 6th on Forbes Woman’s list of the most valuable women personal brands in Polish music. A multi-talented artist who plays both the violin and piano, she crafts her own music, writes her own lyrics, and expresses her creativity through philosophy, art, and fashion.
Whether on the grand festival stages of Open’er or Pol’n’Rock, or in the intimate atmosphere of smoky clubs, LUNA is no stranger to captivating audiences. She is set to embark on her European tour in January 2025, with Polish tour dates commencing this November.
