Katoaako flyeri?
DJ D.N.A. eli Denis Vakulin aloitti bilekuviot pohjalta, jakamalla flaijereita. Kun teki tutuille vähän töitä, pääsi juhlien nimilistalle.
Nyt takana on kymmenen vuotta bilehommia. Pippalot muistuttavat itsestään kansioissa, jotka pursuavat Vakulinin keräämiä flaijereita, eli pieniä ja isompiakin keikoista kertovia mainoslappusia.
Bilemarkkinointi siirtyy yhä enemmän nettiin, mutta flaijerit eivät vielä ole kadonnutta kansanperinnettä. Flaijerilla järjestäjät nostattavat etukäteen fiilistä. Tunnelmat on mietitty tarkkaan.
– Tämä on vähän hippihenkinen, on haettu positiivista fiilistä. Tässä on isompaa, massiivista assosiaatiota. Valentine’s Dayn synkkä teema herättää mielenkiintoa vastakohtaisuudella, Vakulin selailee kokoelmaansa.
– Flaijerissa yhdistyy taide ja kaupallisuus. Tämä on markkinointisijoitus, hän toteaa.
Suurista summista ei ole kyse. Vakulinin luotsaama I love Kiksu -trancebileorganisaatio ei ole rahallisesti mikään kultakaivos, vaan harrastus jota tehdään talkoovoimin. Toimeentuloa varten on erikseen päivätyö.
Vakulin työstää flaijerit yhdessä tuttujen graafikkojen kanssa. Tiskijukka myös osallistuu flaijereiden jakamiseen.

British online magazine KCTV writes a short article about Finnish flyers and the digital flyer collection on Flickr.
To read the article on the website, surf of KCTV > Happening > Design > Over 2000 Finnish Techno Flyers or check the article off the site.
DJ Kaippa, one of the true oldskool jocks of Finland has opened a new website. The site includes some kick-ass photo content like this shot of JS16 and some very, very old flyers from the Club Berlin era in Helsinki.
Acieed!
A couple of new techno related articles and flyers are now online (in Finnish only, sorry).
Here’s a very funny article of Jay Mellin, Kaasi and me (with The Beatles hairstyle ;) visiting Sotkamo,
The legendary warehouse rave in Tampere,
Clubbin’ Helsinki article from the Finnair magazine
and Eliot Ness referred as “juoppohullu naistensankari Helsingistä” on the Ever flyer, 2001
See all the flyers and articles.
Miikka a.k.a drS sent me a couple of oldskool Tampere flyers for the Flickr flyer collection. Awesome indeed, the collection includes now over 2000 flyers and electronic music related articles.
See the latest Tampere oldskool flyers, all Tampere flyers or the whole flyer collection.
Check also the Tampere Underground group on Facebook.
There’s a nice collection of Finnish Flyers and electronic music articles online on Flickr, say, over 1800 of them.
Now, we would need your help.
When you browse the collection, please add any describing tags to the flyers. Anything will do, names, years, cities, performers, designers etc…
That’s what makes the collection easier and more effective to browse and search. The more the tags, the better.
You need to be logged in in order to add tags.
And yeah, just searching is lot of fun. Try these or make your own searches:
Flyer oldskool Helsinki
Flyer miau
Flyer Turku
Flyer Labyrinth
Flyer Pussy
If you have any Finnish flyers or articles which you would like to be added to the collection, please let me know.
Jangler wrote down some nice memories of old Ylivieska rave events (in Finnish only). Click the link below and choose a flyer to read more.

I just realized it’s been one year since I joined Misc. Management team. It’s been an incredible year with Peled brothers and the artists we support (and who support us :). Even though the year has passed unbelievably fast, it’s been full of good moments – and hard work. Big thanks for everyone making this possible.
At the moment we are working on DJ Orkidea’s album release tour, starting early next year. I’s going to be a tour to remember, loads of new add-ons, fresh, trendy & cool supporters, interesting artists and venues. In addition to the tour, I’m also looking forward to Misc revealing the new foreign artist on the roster. He’s cool, classic and very oldskool. For the upcoming updates, see www.misc.fi – and while waiting, download a couple of mixes, there are some new ones around.
The flyer scanning project is over and it was time to grab some new stuff to scan. Not that I particularly love scanning, but it’s more or less cool to digitalize part of the electronic music history in Finland. I got Orkidea’s techno article collection and scanned over 150 news articles and old magazine advertisements starting from 1993. They are just awesome – the grand old men of techno looking like school boys, talking very serious about this new thing called techno music and guys like Sam Inkinen ranting about machines and techno philosophy. They’ll be published on Orkidea’s site first and then right here. While waiting, check the online Flyer Collection which just got bigger and exceeded the limit of 1600 flyers.
P.S. The article up there is a story of Grandmaster Flash visiting Finland back in 1985. The original story was released in Suosikki magazine. Mad, isn’t it? :) Found the article from DJ Anonymous’ blog.
Shortly in English:
Huge amount of Finnish flyers now online, nearly 2 gigabytes of new material. See them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juska/sets/807684/
Ja sitten suomeksi:
Uploadasin loput DJ Orkidean flyerikokoelmasta skannatuista flyereistä myös omalle Flickr-tililleni. Yhteensä Flickrissä on edellämainituista ja omista flyereistä skannattuna reilut 1600 flyeriä eri vuosilta.
Kaikki flyerit ovat nähtävissä osoitteessa: http://www.flickr.com/photos/juska/sets/807684/
Flickr toimii loistavana hakukoneena eri vuosien, bileorganisaatioiden tai tapahtumien flaikkuja etsittäessä. Kokeile vaikka:
Flyereitä vuodelta 1997
http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=flyer%201997&w=37218967%40N00
Pussy Clubin flyereitä
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=37218967%40N00&q=flyer+pussy&m=text
Flyereitä Rovaniemeltä
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=37218967%40N00&q=flyer+rovaniemi&m=text
Hakuja pystyy yhdistelemään mitä erilaisimmilla tavoilla, muista vain liittää aina hakuun sana “flyer”.
Jotta hausta saataisiin vielä tehokkaampi, pyydän kaikkia teitä Flickrin käyttäjiä taggaamaan muutama flyeri aina niitä katsellessanne. Tagit löytyvät flyerisivun oikeasta laidasta ja niihin voi lisätä muunmuassa tapahtuman nimen, paikkakunnan, vuoden, tekijän, materiaalin tai muuta tietoa bileistä. Mitä useampi flyeri on tagatty hyvin, sitä enemmän hyötyä online-kokoelmasta on kaikille.
DJ Orkidean kokoelma on nähtävissä myös hänen saitillaan osoitteessa: http://www.djorkidea.com/gallery/flyers/
I love browsing my archives.

I used the past weekend browsing through Orkidea’s flyer collection. I managed to scan a bit less than half of them, nearly 500 images, of which 300 are now online. Pretty NoLife(tm) project, but lots of fun.
More flyers coming up soon, but while waiting dive deep into Finnish oldskool underground rave hype =>
Finnish Flyers on Flickr
After a very long time I came up with a flyer which made me look twice. This digital copy looks a bit lame, but a paper version really rocks. No glossy paper, no spot colours or fancy fonts. Just a cool idea and very good looking graphics. Definitely the flyer of the month. I’m happy people still make stuff like this.

To start the double-o-seven properly, I guess it’s time to sum up some of the moments of the past year.
Left Rovaniemi behind and moved to Helsinki. Getting a possibility of being part of Misc Management and working with some of the nicest guys in the southern electronic music scene has been more than delightful. The future looks exciting.
Got a possibility to travel a lot. Loved the Birkweiler wine fields. Saw Belfast, both sides of it.
Graduated. Wrote the Pro Gradu about Flyers in Electronic Music Culture.
After waiting for 11 years, finally saw Underworld live. Also enjoyed the Unity 10th Anniversary, both being the highlights of this year.
Finished remix of EBTG’s “Missing” and a remake of Innerself’s “Gautama”, released seven DJ-mixes and a couple of radio sets. Buried Worldwide Mix Selection podcast project and concentrated on DJ Orion’s podcast with a plenty of hi-quality guest mixes from Finnish artists.
Disliked Teosto and Gramex. Enjoyed some very good movies. Got sentimental while moving away from the north and couldn’t help looking back.
Experienced some very nice gigs such as Spinni in Tampere, Choon! in Turku, Rio88600 in Sotkamo and Sunburn in Kalajoki to mention just a few. Got new friends and got together with the old – humble, simple and honest people, who I – once again – just can’t give enough credit.
Made a new year resolution last year not to involve in any event production or promotion in spring 2006 – and got hands on way too many projects. Expecting the same to happen this year again.
Platinum Forums has a very nice collection of Finnish flyers online. Starting from 1993 and going all the way to the latest flyers, the collection offers an unique view to the visual culture around electronic music in Finland.
Take a look => Platinum Forums Flyer Gallery
Kalevan Peto-liitteen tekemä juttu flyereistä ja flyerikulttuurista on nyt online ja luettavissa. Ainoa häiritsevä tekijä on flyereistä kirjoittaminen suomalaiseen tapaan “flaijereina”, muuten juttu kiikkuu aika hyvin uskottavuuden paremmalla puolella.
