Pitchfork

Convivial is the fourth album from Finnish house producer Sasu Ripatti under his Luomo alias. The set, which finds Luomo in some awfully good company over the course of its nine tracks, is due November 11 in the States and October 24 elsewhere from Ripatti's own Huume imprint.

Luomo gets good and Convivial on the album with the likes of Sascha "Apparat" Ring, Jake Shears of Scissor Sisters, Berlin's Cassy, Chicago house legend Robert Owens, California's Sue-C, longtime collaborator Johanna Iivanainen, and a mystery guest singer going by the codename "Chubbs".

Convivial arrives just as Ripatti embarks on a new spate of tour dates coming together and featuring his many, many monikers and collaborations. Names aplenty abound after the jump; we wish you all the best in keeping 'em straight.
