The history behind nine2five recordings goes hand-in-hand with the development of underground breakbeat culture in Finland. Meeting Goose (Pasi Saarinen) at the legendary Helsinki nightclub Nylon, where he held a Saturday residence for a good two years, Dizzy (Juha Ponteva) and him soon found out they shared the same interest in music. Later hooking up with Nenis (Sami Nenola), the skater-turned-dj, they named themselves The Executives, in accordance with the labels profile and after a long history in underground music business, they finally set up nine2five recordings in 2000.
