BT on Wired Magazine.
“I watched about 8,000 people in Finland dance to this piece of music,” BT said during the 30-minute interview. “And when it began to convolve from 4/4 to 6/8, I thought, ‘OK, here’s the moment where a wormhole eats the room or I wish that the floor would split in half and swallow me whole,’ but people understood intuitively how to move their bodies to it! It was so exciting for me to watch!”

I didn’t see 8,000 people there, but maybe that’s the American way to tell that story ;) I was exciting to watch, nevertheless. If you’re interested to hear more, here’s the full interview we recorded nearly one year ago when BT was planning the release of These Hopeful Machines.

Tämä on jo useamman kuukauden vanha juttu, mutta tuli ainakin allekirjoittaneelle täysin yllätyksenä. Ehkäpä hyötyä on jollekulle muullekin.
YLE on avannut mobiiliin optimoidun Areena-palvelunsa iPhone-käyttäjille. Satoja tv- ja radio-ohjelmia tarjoava palvelu on laajuudessaan ainutlaatuinen Suomessa, ja sen odotetaan lisäävään mobiilivideoiden katselua merkittävästi.
Osoitteesta Yle.mobi löytyvän palvelun sisältöjä ladataan kuukausittain keskimäärin 800 000 kertaa. Radio- ja tv-ohjelmat ovat potentiaalinen kasvualue, videoita ladataan nyt parhaimmillaan 30 000 kertaa kuukaudessa.
”Uskomme, että kaksinkertaistamme videoiden käytön vuoden loppuun mennessä”, sanoo YLEn uusien palvelujen päällikkö Jari Lahti.
Samalla myös yle.mobi-palvelun muut sisällöt, kuten podcastit, uutiset, urheilu, sää ja rss-palvelut toimivat tietenkin myös iPhonelle räätälöidyssä käyttöliittymässä.

Thursday August 6: Madonna West Harbour, Helsinki, Finland
The sun is still with us as we cross on the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. The ride over is a laugh and the food excellent!
Arriving at the hotel its: out of the car, avoid being run down by cyclist, meet the promoter for tomorrow night club gig at Circus, then check into our hotel. As with all his club gigs on this tour, Paul has his DJ equipment from his rider set up in his hotel room on arrival. This allows him to listen to material for on-going projects (which there are many of) plus new tracks from CD’s to try out for that night’s set. It’s a good system that works on many different levels.
From the dock, we can view the staging on West Harbour (the site for tomorrows concert), it’s massive. Disembarking of the boat, Paul gets talking to a Finnish Madonna fan who praises what an amazing show it was in Tallinn, and how the Finnish crowd will be even better at the tomorrows show. We can believe that, Tallinn was a good crowd but the Finns are known more for expressing themselves.
The following day, leaving the hotel for the gig, the constant flow of traffic seems to head in the direction of the West Harbour. The closer we get, it turns into a procession of people; the whole of Helsinki’s is turning out for Madonna.
Once his arm is taped again, Paul is well enough to play. It’s awkward, but he arrives on stage to an absolute mass of (what later was recorded as) 98,000 people. Still, getting them to warm up and have a good time is no easy job. Gradually, the crowd follows his every gesture until being completely persuaded by the appearance of Madonna’s dancers, who are now a part of this ritual warm up. The sight of this mass of smiling people is 100% satisfying. This has been a most awesome crowd!

Monday morning and on a train back to Helsinki. The christmas holiday has started and as I wrote earlier, a lot was expected from the past weekend. And it was a blast!
Miscbehaving on Friday at Virgin Oil saw one of the coolest stage sets in a long time. Decos by Unity’s Markus, lights by Tea and Severi and Beige/Harmaa’s visuals from 14 oldskool computer monitors did their job. I played the first rhythms downstairs and enjoyed the truly deep vibe of the first two and half hours. At the main stage, Redanka played probably the finest proggy set I’ve heard in a long time. Driving, even technoish tracks, all new to me, spiced with a couple of classics and a stage charisma like no other.
Also, the give-away masks did their job and created a slightly miscbehaving vibe… ;)
DJs Ramses and Tutankhamon
On Saturday, a long waited season ending of Tampere-based One club was at hands. Flight & Uzu had really done fantastic preparations, the club was packed with oldskool faces and smiling newcomers all over Finland (at least Hämeenlinna, Lahti, Oulu, Turku, Helsinki represented). The atmosphere was high, people were enjoying and – I must have mentioned this before – there was a glimpse of the very original Tampere-fiilis(tm) around. I started the night with a technoish sound and moved then towards a bit more progressive house. See the full tracklist.
Claes Rosen – Mystify (Dinka remix) has really become the anthem of One and the reaction just before the midnight was stunning. I ended my set with Sami Saari’s remix of One Sunday, which proved to be a proper dancefloor tune, too.
Orkidea continued after me with strong progressive house tracks and dropped his new versions of Ajare and Two Full Moons And A Trout. Gareth Emery‘s remix of Metaverse still does its job and brought literally some tears in the eyes of some first row dancers. A good proof of a musically intensive night, huh? ;)
It was a pleasure meeting Solarstone finally in person, he is a truly a nice guy with a very professional attitude and a true magician behind the decks. I enjoyed his trance sound as it didn’t get too techy and according to the people’s reactions, the classics like Seven Cities and 3rd Earth were just the stuff they wanted to hear.
In just a couple of months, One has brought back something to Tampere scene what has been missing for years and has become one of the most interesting and promising new club concepts in whole Finland. I can’t wait for the upcoming season to kick off… :) Big thank-yous still to everyone who showed up – despite being busy very much the whole night it was very nice to have good chats with so many nice people, new faces and long-time-no-see oldskool ravers. We are One family! :)
P.S. Talking of my track One Sunday, I have some very good news release-wise. Read more here.
As I’m not in Finland on the New Year’s Eve, I consider this weekend the end-of-the-year party. And what a weekend it is! Starting on Friday, the Misc. Management organized event Extremely Miscbehaving takes over Virgin Oil. The night is hosted by DJ Orkidea, Mr.A warms up the floor and the foreign guests include Redanka, the very strong, oldskool and classic progressive talent and SolarStone, the man behind various excellent trance tunes.
On Saturday, SolarStone, Orkidea and me head to Tampere. It’s the season closing night for the local club One, which has grown to be one of the strongest club brands in the area. Flight and Uzu, the guys behind the club have been putting an enormous amount of time and thoughts for the concept and I’ve been happy to see a glimpse of the original Tampere-fiilis and easy-going and happy people always attending. The opening party was truly memorable and getting Jaytech to play in Tampere was one of my personal highlights of the past autumn. Can’t wait for this Saturday and the upcoming season… :)
