Just a short note before leaving Finland for one month.
It just got official – Brotherhood will be remixed by DJ Taucher, an oldskool German trance talent, who also visited Finland back in the day, playing at Labyrinth Summer Sound System.

I just got a preview of the track and it’s really something you could expect from someone who is one with his roots: the remix sounds like ’94 Eye-Q trance, it’s hypnotic, bubbling and energetic – something you’ll rarely hear these days – a combination of fresh and 15 year old sound. Needless to say – this puts together the package really well: a trance remix from Ayleon, prog house from Flight&Jontey, prog trance from Anton Sonin and an oldskool interpretation from DJ Taucher.

Some other good news, too. I’ll be playing at Parktheater, Kempten, Germany on 25.07.2009. I’m really looking forward to this – Parktheater is among the biggest and best looking clubs in Allgäu area, I’ve visited the place a couple of times and the place never failed to impress me. Check the video for a better look of the interiors.

Tiistain Tanssi-illassa 23.06.2009 biisivieraana kuullaan Helsingin Mixxed-klubin taustalla vaikuttavia Niko Geselleä ja Tony Profondoa. Herrat pyöräyttävät biisin verran kesäistä klubi-iltansa trademark-soundia ja kertovat viime hetken kuulumiset Helsingin kesäklubilta.

Tanssi-illassa on myös mahdollisuus voittaa tällä viikolla 2kpl Konemetsä-festarilippuja vastaamalla oikein ohjelmassa esitettyyn Deadmau5-aiheiseen kysymykseen. Kaksi voittajaa saa kukin yhden lipun.
Lisäksi äänessä Tom Middleton, jolta kuullaan kuukauden kuluttua koko miehen uran läpikäyvä retrospektiivi.

Musiikin puolella rytmejä Jody Wisternoffilta, vasta Suomessa vierailleilta Chris Lakelta, Tom Middletonilta ja BT:ltä, uusi Speak in Sympathyn hengessä soiva Solarstone-sinkku sekä viikon vinyyli.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

I just had to write this down for the years to come. On one weekend Helsinki witnesses Chris Lake, Tom Middleton, Marco V, Joris Voorn, Astral Projection, Push and Derrick May on five different events. 2009 hasn’t been a bad year at all, but this has been a top weekend so far.

If you feel like looking further back, I recommend checking legendary Ocsid playlist from 1995 which Ozzi made alive again by collecting the tracks on one playlist on YouTube. If you’re not familiar with Ocsid, read more on Klubitus topic.

Playing tonight at Mixxed @ Bio Rex terrace. It’s beautiful weather, really looking forward to this.

A full length sample (as well as the original) of DJ Orion – Brotherhood (Anton Sonin remix) is now available for listening. Go drag your ears here.

DJ Orkidea writes about the background of the soon-to-be-started Love event series. Make also sure to read all the comments as they include all the Love Stories written so far.

I know, I’m totally late with this one, but I’m so fallen in love with London Elektricity’s Just One Second. Take a listen.
