Club Therapy, Oulu

Despite the nasty comments I had heard of HTC where Therapy event is being held, I was positively surprised. The sound was very bassheavy, venue bigger than I expected and all-in-all pretty cosy for electronic music events. It’s not too fancy for a bit more rough sound or too warehouse-like for basic house tracks. If one could re-decorate it, I think it would be near-to-perfect venue.

If I really need to find some negative things from a superb Saturday night, they must be technical: I really hate CDJ-200s. They’re far too sensitive for club use – especially if you’re used to the touch of CDJ-800/1000. I ended up using the jog wheel from the very middle to avoid too strong touch, but still it felt very uncertain.

But yes, the Saturday night must have been one of my alltime favourites in Oulu. Therapy was nicely packed, they nearly broke their alltime record. The audience was as good as it gets, very open to different kinds of sound – from minimal and tech influenced house to progressive, electro, breaks and oldskool. Big thanks to Gateway for an invitation and top-notch warm-up set, Kosmo&Reea for lovely hosting & big laughs and Oulu crowd for making such a good party!
