Here’s my oldskool hard-nrg/hardtrance/acid techno set played at 00:30-01:30 @ Playground, Helsinki 17.06.2011.
Cosmic Gate’s remix of Miss Shiva’s Dreams cover was probably the track of the hour. See the video below.
The records ran around 160bpm and so did my heart. Phew.

1. Mauro Picotto – Hong Kong
2. Captain Tinrib – Blue Oyster
3. S.H.O.K.K. – Isn’t It All A Little Strange
4. Miss Shiva – Dreams (Cosmic Gate remix)
5. Choci & Paola – Trust What You Feel
6. Calculas – Millennium
7. Weirdo – I Know A Plaice
8. The Mad Gay Mafia – The Judas
9. DJ Choci – Spaced Out (Choci’s Pagan Mix)
10. Chris Liberator and Immersion – Unintelligent
11. Lawrie Immersion & Rowland The Bastard – Even If Now She’s Got A Perm
12. Lisa Lashes vs Lab4 – Unbelievable (Lab4′s Licensed To Thrill remix)

This Saturday sees my last gig in Finland before moving to Berlin for two years. Yes, it won’t be long before coming back again, actually there are quite a few gigs already confirmed for the end of the summer and the autumn, but I can’t help thinking this as some sort of a farewell party.
And what would be more summery and better place to play the last beats as Finnish resident than the best outdoor summer club in town, Mixxed. Bio Rex terrace combined with music enthusiasts and 100% party people just can’t go wrong. I’ve witnessed the full-on party there when it’s been storming like crazy – and Mixxed is a great example you can really have a perfect summer club concept even though “Finnish summer” isn’t always weather-wise what we’d love to have :)

This one should be interesting and lots of fun. I’ll be playing my first (and probably the last;) hard nrg / hard trance set in 10 years or so. I was really into 160bpm+ music in the early 2000, but as I heard already back then, your age and slower bpm often go hand in hand :) But nevertheless, when asked, I felt really good digging the shelves for the old records (yes, this one will be 100% vinyl gig) and sorting out the Cannon, VCF, VCR, Tinrib, Stay Up Forever and Ef.adrine classics and tunes from Lab4, Choci, Mishka, Weirdo, Mauro Picotto and many more.

Barbeque and house music. Sounds like a fun combo.
