Jussi Leväsalmi, also known as 501, was a Finnish bass music producer and DJ. 501 created dubstep, electronica and house.
Leväsalmi initially started playing music in 1993 when he got a guitar as a Christmas present. His hobby continued until 1999 when he started to make electronic music under his drum & bass-focused alias Contour.
Leväsalmi began the 501 alias as his main project in 2008.
Since 2016, Leväsalmi has taken an indefinite hiatus, focusing instead on his career as a lawyer. It is unknown if he will return to producing.
