Kuopio was cool!
For a moment it seemed I wouldn’t be playing there at all – my flight from Berlin was delayed so badly that I missed the connecting (and last) flight from Helsinki to Kuopio. And due to quite nasty airline regulations my return flight from Kuopio back to Helsinki was cancelled, too.
Luckily there still was one train leaving from Helsinki to Kuopio. Finally after 12 hours of travelling I reached Puijonsarvi and got to the decks three minutes before my set started. Phew…
But it was worth the travel. Alijas had warmed up the place really nicely and it was cool seeing Kuopio go mad to proper electronic music. The highlights for me were Kobana’s & Yane3dots’ new track Woosh, Madeon’s Icarus and Nuta Cookier’s Maschine Groove (Marco Bailey & Tom Hades Remix). It was a nice surprise to see how well technoish sound went down, too. Playing Marco Bailey, Kaiserdisco and Timo Maas for hands-in-the-air Kuopio crowd was unexpected, but awesome.
Orkidea ended the night with nice 2h selection of his own tunes. The new album tunes went down well and it was great to hear a couple of classics like original mix of Unity and Requiem.
Brilliant night, excellent & enthusiastic crowd (Thank You!!) and a long, long trip back home after 1,5h of sleep ;)
