DJ Orion – From Rural To Urban – Pacifique 2009

By UncategorizedNo Comments

My one hour set from Pacifique 2009 is now online and downloadable.The set was played at Pacifique’s chill-out saunas, in which the DJ booth was build on the cold water pool and the music could be heard in all the saunas while taking a break from the partying. Talk about a perfect chill-out stage… :)

Pacifique Lumière, this Saturday

By UncategorizedNo Comments

One of the most awaited events of the year is at hands. Pacifique is one day of summer in the middle of the coldest winter and probably one of those nights people will remember for years.

It was my first time last year to see all of it, and boy, was I excited :)

For those who hear about Pacifique for the first time: it’s a 2000 people party, held once a year at Serena, the biggest in-door spa in Northern Europe. Five stages and whole variety of electronic music and electronica. Sold out in less than a month this year.

In 2009, Pacifique will also see its first foreign guest, Alfredo, the godfather of Ibiza house. It’s the same guy who inspired the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway back in the day and was the one to start the spirit of Ibiza people are still enjoying today. Really looking forward to see the guy in action.

Misc. will take care of artist coordination, so no getting loose (at least as much as last time:), but this is still one of the highlights of this year, needless to say. I’m also playing a one hour chill-out set at the saunas in a familiar From Rural To Urban spirit, starting at 22:30. Join in and get a good löyly or two :) (and if you’re interested, check the tracklist from last year)

Konemetsä look-back

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Konemetsä 2008

I survived Konemetsä. Barely. Due to problems with the voice blog, you missed some hilarious moments recorded live, but I try to share the muddy moments by writing.
Konemetsä is a yearly open air festival located in Marttila, Finland. It’s basically in the middle of nothing, nearly a two hour drive from Helsinki and somewhat less from Turku. Getting there was a small logistic challenge and I ended up getting an official artist ride 11 hours before my set.

To make a long story short: I joined picking up from airport an Australian/Indian/English guy, who said Russians are godless, was amazed by GMS’ & Astrix’s excellent psy-trance and the setup of the Konemetsä main stage, got totally wet in the heavy rain during the morning hours, witnessed festival area turning muddy, slept three hours in a random caravan next to two very drunk Swedish guys, woke up to the middle of cocaine snorting merry-go-round, got very muddy and finally played a three hour morning set to the waking festival audience in the Konemetsä chill-out tent. It was the best chill-out gig experience so far for me – perfect weather, the first rays of sun, people getting out from their sleeping bags, eating breakfast and just being comfortable. An uncompromisingly good mood was in the air.
The festival producers Pete & Pete were incredibly nice, feet on the ground, ready to help and very professional guys. It was a pleasure spending some time together. Big thanks also to our driver for a good company and loads of fun all the way from Helsinki to Marttila.

The first 1,5h of my From Rural To Urban themed set the sound was more acoustic related, easier campfire chill-out and grew bigger little by little as the people woke up. The last hour was more urban – more beats, long pads and a bit more complex electronic touch. For a better view, see the full tracklist below:

Konemetsä next weekend

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Konemetsä 2008

Konemetsä Open Air Forest Festival is one of the most exciting electronic music concepts in Finland. Located in the forests of Marttila, Konemetsä brings the sound to the nature for the full weekend, non-stop.

I happy having a possibility to play there this year. What’s expected, is a three hour chill-out set on the early hours of Saturday (09:00-12:00, to be exact). It will be a chill-out set in a true From Rural To Urban style, atmospheric morning hours campfire chill-out sound at its best. Hopefully I’ll meet you there having a good nap :)

The main artists of the chill-out area include Mirror System from the UK while on the main stage Astrix, System 7 and GMS take over. The full artist lineup is pretty impressive, check it out.
