A busy weekend coming up. On Friday I’ll be playing at the ten year anniversary party of a local club related website Klubitus. For years Klubitus has been #1 information provider in Finland for anyone interested in club scene and its birthday is not only a gathering of like-minded people but also a get-together of DJs who normally don’t play at the same event. Legendary Art of Trance will be headlining. An eclectic and interesting night coming up.

On Saturday I’ll head to Bio Rex terrace to probably the best regular summer club event in Helsinki. Mixxed Discotheque has been running for some years now – every summer Saturday hosted by Tony Profondo and Niko Geselle – at the heart of Helsinki with really really nice views and happy atmosphere. Usually there are some queues, not a bad decision to come early – the party starts already at 19:00 and the terrace closes at 02:00. I’ll start my 1,5hours at 23:15 and Kimmo O, Aslak and the residents Tony and Niko take care of the rest.

Yay! Isn’t it a regular evening in Helsinki archipelago to have a bunch of happy, goodlooking people dancing to techno music on a small cruise ship? I really wish it was :) Thanks to everyone for making a great evening and big up to Madwave possé for an invitation. Here are some photos by Timo Torvikoski, Sessions2.:

Despite the slightly cloudy weather today in Helsinki, the heat is on @ m/s Emma starting at 20:00 – Madwave runs their first official cruise for this summer and I’m joining the fun with Madwave residents Sergei Shkuroff and Dimitry Zoom plus Houseamigo DJs.

Madwave boys also interviewed me regarding the event, you can check that one on Klubitus.

Here are the cruise details:

Here’s a video covering the whole last weekend in Northern Finland – definitely one of the highlights of this summer, good vibrations, lots of happy people and techno music. Excellent combination.
There’s also the official Sunburn 2010 video, if you didn’t see it yet.

What comes to the video, thanks again to Kaasi. He delivers. :)

Thanks to Kaasi for the video.

A funky weekend in Northern Finland coming up. On Friday 16.7. I’ll head to Kajaani’s #1 venue Club 96 with my dear friend DJ Kaasi. As usual, we play a full 6h set – it’s been a tradition for 7-8 years in a row already and it’s still a bliss to go there.

On Saturday Oulu-possé is organizing AEM Festival where the local music lovers not only share the breaks & beats but also spice the small-scale festival with saunas, beach volley fields and some crazy water activities. Very cool, very Finnish.

I’ll be playing a 1,5h super eclectic set at the festival before heading to Dyyni’s Sunburn event. It’s my 11th time in Dyyni, totally missed the 10th time celebrations, but let’s make the 11th time as special as the previous nights :) Three hour set expected, starting around 00:30. Kaasi does the warm-up, couldn’t be any better.

Good summery vibes, jump in to say hi if you’re around.

And yeah, I’ll be photologging as we go – check the constantly updating photo stream – selected moments from the road.
