This Saturday sees the long awaited debut album release event of Super8 & Tab, the most successful Finnish trance duo. The parrrrty will take place at Virgin Oil with – naturally – Super8 & Tab headlining. Me and DJ Orkidea will do the backup.
Downstairs summer club Mixxed hosts Niko Geselle and Tony Profondo will take care of the proper vibe.
Super8&Tab will start at midnight and I’ll be doing the warmup 22-00 with a trancey state of mind.
I will also play a 2,5h set at the afterparty 05:00-07:30 at Playground on a way more tech-house/techno tip. If the evening wasn’t long enough, this might be a place to give a shot.
Good weekend coming up. Let’s get it on.

Nice guys at Silk Sofa asked me to make a guest appearance on their Silk Sofa Sessions radio show, airing on different internet radio stations like Pure.FM, DI.FM and Proton Radio during the next two weeks.
The one hour guest mix is chill-out (hence the show name:) and includes some of my recent ambient, chill-out and downtempo favourites. If you’re not into tuning in to web radio stations, you can also stream the mix below or at Mixcloud and download it from my podcast during in the next couple of weeks.
I hope you like it.

The slogan “Let The Music Play” gets a totally different meaning here… ;) Rest In Vinyl offers to press your cremated remains into vinyl records with your choice of audio. The price is £2000 for 30 discs.
Is vinyl now officially dead? ;)
“When the album that is life finally reaches end, wouldn’t it be nice to keep that record spinning for eternity? We offer you a chance to press your ashes in a vinyl recording your loved ones will cherish for generations.”
Now – what would be your track of choice? Stairway to Heaven or Ashes to Ashes?:)
P.S. If you’re not a vinyl freak but more into sci-fi, how about doing it in Star Trek style?

Coast 2 Coast vs. The WhiteRoom – The White Home (DJ Orion re-edit)
Free Download here.
It was 2003 when John Digweed first visited Finland. Now he’s coming again.
Remember the video Screen Club made after the visit in 2003? It was state-of-the-art at that time and doesn’t look too bad today, either. I can’t believe it’s not on Youtube – seems like it’s up to you to put it there ;)
Here’s a direct link to the video anyway.
I heard this track for the first time on a mixtape of a Finnish DJ Kenjido Okiru back in 2004 or 2005. Kenjido was at that time one of the brightest rising stars in the Finnish prog scene and I – like many others – enjoyed his mixes & sets a lot.
It took me quite some time to get the name and artist right and hunt down the record (late thank yous to Kenjido for some trainspotting help:) at Juno, where I got the last copy.
The track itself is amazingly beautiful – really a big room prog track with literally massive vocals. I still love the moment when the chorus hits in.
This is one of those underrated gems at my collection and also one of those which still is digitally unavailable. I couldn’t even find a Youtube clip of this one – let me know if you did.
While waiting for a proper clip, here’s a Discogs link to the release.

With over 1 million copies sold globally after being released in 1983, this record is definitely not rare. However, it’s a very interesting one. The label – Factory – made a sleeve of the record so complicated that even though Blue Monday is the biggest selling single ever, the label lost money with every copy sold. That’s why the cover got less and less complicated with each new pressing and the latest pressings don’t even have the die-cut sleeves.
The color bar on the sleeve looks random, but it’s not. It actually spells out catalog number, band name and song titles.
I’m happy to have one of the earlier presses with a die-cut sleeve and black inner. The copy also has a pressing mistake – both sides (even though labeled correctly as “Blue Monday” and “The Beach”) contain Blue Monday on them.
Normally, you could expect an early pressing + some mistake to make the record actually worth something, but in this case – with 1 million copies sold – I really can’t believe that’d be the case. However, it would be interesting to know how many similar copies with the mistake are out there.
