Aavikko is a Finnish synth music band, formed in Siilinjärvi in 1995. Their hallmarks include a campy, decidedly "East European" style and plastic-sounding synthesizer themes. The band themselves call their style "muysic" (a portmanteau of "mystic" and "music"); their motto is "We play - you dance!". One of their well received songs is "Viitostie", which is strongly influenced by Kraftwerk.[1] The name is a reference to Finnish national road 5, or "Viitostie", which is a highway in Finland that passes through Siilinjärvi.
