Hi friend.

I’ll be travelling the whole June in a land far far away.
Until then, I won’t be reachable via phone, sms or email.

One year ago me and my brother J.Shore collaborated for the first time with Russian based prog house artist Mango and released a track named “Raining In Osaka”.

While working with the original version, we also made a nearly 9 minute chill-out remix of the track, which sees the daylight on 08.06.2010 on Silk Sofa Recordings, one of the most high-profile chill-out labels currently. You can get your copy on Beatport’s Silk Sofa page.

Check below the full-length versions of the original and our chill-out remix. Both available for listen also on my Soundcloud account.

I think many of us could agree that we had one of the best ONE events last night (Facebook event). With the most probability it was also the last event at Pellava which is really a shame as the place was now really showing what it’s capable of.

It was so great to see loads of oldskool faces – not only from Tampere but all the way from Helsinki, Kouvola, Lahti etc. – coming to rave in the spirit of classic tunes from the past years. Okiru warmed up the floor with superb progressive classics (tracklist, anyone?:) and showed the mad mixing skills have definitely not corroded during the years.

Coma & KimiK followed with 100% vinyl set containing really bassheavy, driving proggy Tampere classics from Miau! and Tunnel era, ending their set to Bedrock’s Heaven Scent and Deepsky’s Stargazer with proper 138bpm.
As said to KimiK in the booth – no matter what you play after those tunes – it just sounds worse :)

I had a very intense 45min set (all-in-all the set lengths were very short due to closing time at 03:00), playing ONE classics – the tracks which have been particularly memorable during the ONE years and tracks which have become classics at Tanssitalo or Pellava. The full tracklist is below.

Finally, Cosmicman took the last hour to early 2000 style trancey direction which seemed to go down very well and ended his set with legendary twothousand-something kixu classic I Love You, which summed up the night nicely.

But the artists didn’t make the night – it was the fantastic crowd. They don’t talk about Tampere-fiilis in vain. It was the most open-minded, happily careless and most intense audience I’ve experienced in Tampere in many, many, many years. Right people in the right place. One family :)

The ONE afterparty couldn’t have been better either. Starting at 03:00 in the very centrum of Tampere, afterhour maestros Flight and Paul Easy dropped quality tech-house and techno choons to nearly 250 party people. Instead of a “morning of the living dead” the atmosphere was high and dancefloor full of energetic, smiling people enjoying to get down. Tampere at its best :)

Another great summer starter behind. Massive thanks to Flight & Uzu + co. for making this happen.

To get into the mood of the upcoming Love event, here are my favourite Eric Prydz / Cirez D / Pryda tracks of all time. Can you recall when you first heard Aftermath, Pjanoo or Control Freak? Oh, those days… :)

LOVE CHART
DJ ORION’S ERIC PRYDZ TOP10

Pryda – Aftermath
- The original, 15 minute trip is the #1 Eric Prydz track for me. Still after 5 years it’s being recognized, and works at the clubs like a charm. I remember playing this for the first time at a sold-out party in Rovaniemi, thinking first this might be way too (more…)
