What comes to music marketing, creating hype has always been essential.
DJs should not be seen as a bunch of criminals disrespecting copyright, but as an enormous and potential (but neglected) force of marketing.

Beatport will update January 21st, 2009 and gave a short preview of the features to come.
Finally – a playlist and a possibility for cueing tracks, a long waited feature. The sample seems to be divided to several areas. Is that a feature to listen several samples of the track like at DJDownload? And hopefully they’ve also added a feature to buy only a part of the tracks you’ve added to your cart.
It feels like it’s only a couple of months ago when Ian Ossia visited Jack on the club’s 4th birthday. This Friday Jack turns five and Jody Wisternoff from the Way Out West fame hits the decks. Jody is one of my long time favourites, not only because of his fantastic monthly podcast but also his Way Out West tracks, reaching back to ’97. From the local heroes, the original Jack residents DJ Orkidea and Lil’Tony join Jody to warm up the dance floor. Partyparty!
edit: Unfortunately Jody has cancelled his gig due to problems with his sciatic nerve (back pain, in plain English). Mr.A will be replacing and Jack will see all the original residents behind the decks.
On the January 17th Jack starts bi-monthly at Redrum. See the flyer below.
Music marketing is about exposure and discovery. DJs are benefiting both.
Music marketing will be equal to distributing. Not soon, but it will be.

Legendary Jean Michel Jarre comes to Finland 16.5.2009. This show is a must. Even today the Oxygene album, recorded in 1976 (!!), sounds fresh and timeless – check the classic track above.
Pacifique 2009 website is now open.
If the quality is not sufficient, why wouldn’t you try Vimeo video version instead.

If you are a musician and you think a radio show, podcast, DJ-mix or even p2p sharing is not benefiting your business in a long run, you are so not living in the 21st century.

Hello north!
Next Friday and Saturday I’ll head to North of Finland to join my fellow DJ Kaasi. We’ll play two six hour sets, on Friday in Rovaniemi and Saturday in Kajaani. I’m happy to return to Rovaniemi, which still feels like a second home and excited to see Kajaani nightlife which has according to the rumours gotten very very good during the past year.
I’m not a big fan of back2back sets, but Kaasi must be one of the very few with whom it’s 100% happily freaky experience, time after time. Kaasi is a true professional with a great sense of music and an awesome attitude – it must be soon five years we’ve been touring like this together and it just gets better every time.
Another interesting b2b gig is coming next spring, with a musically very challenging and interesting artist, this time in South of Finland. Hoping to tell more about it soonish.

Here’s a short interview from Solarstone. Rich arrives to Finland to play 19th of December in Helsinki and 20th in Tampere.
01. This isn’t your first time in Finland. What kind of memories do you have from your previous visits?
Last time I played for Gatecrasher in Helsinki – that was awesome – but also last time I was there I produced a wicked track in the studio with Orkidea – possibly the nicest guy in Trance! Really looking forward to Read More
