Last Saturday at Parktheater, Kempten was brilliant. It was good to get to know the whole club staff who were down-to-earth and really nice people. The club seems to be run with a really relaxed mood and the same vibe is also on the dance floor.
A full length sample (as well as the original) of DJ Orion – Brotherhood (DJ Taucher Adult Mix) is now available for listening. Go drag your ears here.
On the upcoming weekend I’m playing my last gigs before a short paternity leave. On Friday I’ll be heading to Tampere to Club Play, a summer club running at Apollo. It’s been a while that I’ve played a house set in Tampere and I’m really looking forward to this. My slot should be starting around midnight.

On Saturday I’ll fly to Kalajoki to headline the local Sunburn event, one of the longest running summer club concepts in Northern Finland. I’ve lost my count if this is already the 6th or 7th year in a row I’m visiting Kalajoki in the summer, but it definitely hasn’t lost its vibe. Kalajoki – as mentioned numerous times before – is the “Ibiza of Finland” and the venue, Dyyni, is easily among the coolest clubs in the north with a panorama view to the sea and the whole building standing on a huge sand dune. The house music maestro of the north, DJ Kaasi will be doing the warm-up and I’ll be playing a 2-2,5h set in the end of the night. See the video from last year’s party below or check some photos from the past years.

Our remix of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida hits the Pepsi Max Chart this week as a “challenger track”. If you like our version of the track, feel free to press the odd looking “äänestä” button (it’s “vote” in Finnish, easy huh?) :)
The samples on the page are awfully short, but you can check the full version on the YouTube clip below.
This Saturday I’ll be playing at Kempten’s Parktheater, one of the biggest clubs in Allgäu area, South Germany. The club looks awesome (see the photo above) and the mood and music are very German, especially on these house/techno based nights. Local DJ hero Alfredo will be warming up the decks and I’ll be on around 01:00 for a two hour set. See you there! ;)
The mashup of the month:
Nirvana – Smells Like Teen Spirit versus Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up.
I can’t tell which one is better, the video or the name of the maker, DJ Morgoth ;)
Tiistain Tanssi-illassa 21.07.2009 kuullaan koko tunnin mittainen Tom Middleton -retrospektiivi. Middletonin kommentein varustettu kokonaisuus esittelee chill-outista deephouseen musiikkityylejä säveltäneen miehen ja paljastaa mm. miten Tom aikoinaan tutustui Aphex Twiniin ja päätyi muutama kuukausi sitten remiksaamaan Orbitalin Halcyon-klassikkoa.
Retrospektiivitunnin ensimmäinen puolisko liikutaan chill-out- ja funk-henkisissä tunnelmissa ja toisella kolutaan läpi house-saavutuksia mieheltä, joka tunnetaan oman nimensä lisäksi myös aliaksilla Cosmos, Jedi Knights, Global Communication, Chameleon ja Link.
Coming out in Fall 2009 on Subtraxx Recordings, Tokyo Boulevard’s album “Ponte Dei Soispiri” is just full of win. Listen the clips on the YouTube video above.
Some say that first love is the strongest. And it really did feel like it on our opening night with Pete Tong. 1300 people came together and created a vibe that will stay with us forever. The red dance-floor resembled a beating heart, that pumped life for a beautiful summer Sunday.
The second LOVE will be held on an historic night in Helsinki. On the 6th of August, 90 000 people will see the iconic Madonna performing in Finland, for the first time ever. The whole country will be listening, watching and stepping into the groove of the Queen of pop.
Warming up the crowd at the concert is another legend, Paul Oakenfold. After being voted the worlds best DJ twice, holding residencies in some of Europe’s biggest clubs and headlining festivals, Paul headed to Hollywood in 2001. In 8 years he has worked on major soundtrack projects, production work for the worlds biggest artists and the best club residency in America.
With the full support of Madonna’s label ‘Warner Music’ and her tour organizer ‘Live Nation’, the people of LOVE are ecstatic of being apart of such an historical day. Mr Oakenfold will be headlining the party, supported by the legends of Finnish electronica. This will be the last LOVE event of 2009 and a classic closing to an amazing Summer.
