Madwave weekend

By | Gigs, Main | No Comments

Madwave, 17.08.2007, Tampere, front

I’m heading today to Tampere to attend Madwave weekend. Madwave events will take place both in Tampere and Turku, Friday and Saturday, David West headlining both nights.

I’m very excited – playing at the same event with David in Oulu’s “Northern e’Motion ’07” was just amazing not to mention the last trip to Tampere’s “Romance” event some months ago. It’s been a while that I’ve been playing in Turku, but the last experiences at “LCS” and “Choon!” were simply great.

All in all, I think the combination of David West, Tampere and Turku is a rare enough to force all the progheads out to party. The lineup also includes very strong domestic spinners – Romance’s head honcho DJ Flight; Joonas Hahmo, one of the most interesting producers at the moment and the Sergei Shkuroff’s & D.N.A‘s full-on back2back.

After the Turku event – on Sunday morning – I’ll be travelling with David West back to Helsinki. David’s spinning at Pussy Club afterparty in Rose Garden with Mr.A.

Here are the full weekend details:

Danke schön, Kempten

By | Gigs, Main | No Comments

Mango, Kempten, Germany

Last night’s gig in Mango, Kempten, Germany was very, very nice. The people were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was very cosy. I truly enjoy playing in these 200+ clubs instead of big 1000+ halls. There’s so much more intimacy and interaction in the small ones.

What comes to music, the night proved (once again) the international potential of Danceteria label and Finnish (electro) house production scene. Tracks like My Rosegarden and a bit older Heikki L’s remix of Honey and Jussi Polet’s Positive etc were the tracks of the night, no question.

Big thanks to Alfredo & co. for all the promotion and work and the super nice staff of Mango for uncompromised hosting. Big up!

New website online and running

By | Main | No Comments

Layout ready

The new website is now online. Yes, it’s the one you’re watching right now.

After several hours of tweaking, I can’t help deeply hating CSS and IE6 combo. When everything was supposed to be ready, nothing was. Now the site works perfectly on latest Firefox, Safari3 and Opera, well on Safari2 and IE7 and on IE6 the layout sucks, but at least it works.

What’s new?

1. This feature I like the most: By adding a tag djorionweb_prods or djorionweb_gigs on your Flickr photos or YouTube videos, you can make them visible on this site – either on Gigs & Booking site or on Productions, depending on the tag.

2. On the main page there’s now the NEWS section. That’s basically the most important news from the blog. Dynamically, wheee :)

3. No more Podcast site, instead a larger site called Media. It includes the latest YouTube videos, Jaikus, feeds, links to the outside world and the Podcast, of course.

4. Productions site has been re-written, no more one million different flyers. If you want to see more flyer art, click on the photos on the right side of the page.

5. And yes, layout is new. Did I mention it already? ;)

I hope you enjoy the update.
