Photos & videos: Fiksaatio, Seinäjoki

By UncategorizedNo Comments

I had really, really good time visiting Seinäjoki for the first time after ’03 or ’04. Over 700 happily smiling people, awesome lineup, pikkujoulu and one hell of a queue outside guaranteed a p-a-r-t-y. I tested a couple of new edits of ours which went down nicely – one of my favourite moments was the crowd chanting lyrics of Prodigy – Narayan (Orion & Flight re-edit) and going mental with Sami Saari’s Electric Love and Ayleon’s remix of Brotherhood.

Big, big thanks to Syna possé for the invitation (was grreat to see them playing live after a while) and to my fellow DJs Flight, Infekto, Ville Lope, Echostep & Andy K for a good company – not to forget the ever-crazy pohojammaa crowds :) Hoping not to have another 5 year break before returning back there again.
See some photos below and a short video clip of Insomnia played as an encore.

Fiksaatio in Seinäjoki & Sunday Fun in Tampere

By UncategorizedNo Comments

This weekend sees another set of quality events, this time in Seinäjoki & Tampere. On Friday I’ll be heading to the clubbing capital of Pohjanmaa, where grand old Fiksaatio possé have been influencing the local scene for already some time and I was really happy of being invited to their last winter event for this year. Held at Karma, the event also presents Infekto, Syna, Flight, Andy K, Ville Lope and Echostep. I’ll be playing the last slot, starting at 01:30.

On Sunday I’ll be joining Tabu’s Sunday Fun chill-out event in Tampere. Getting behind decks to play chill-out is a rare sight, but I’m really looking forward to this one. Sunday Fun concept sounds very promising – cheap booze, huge sofas, board games, comics and Tampere-fiilis(tm) can never go wrong. It’s our independence day, too, so there might be an extra amount of domestic quality chill-out, classics and some new DJ Orion & J.Shore productions in the air. The set should start between 21:00 & 22:00 and last around 2,5h.

And yeah, if you don’t have anything to do on Saturday, join us at Romance in Laterna, Tampere. Manly love behind the decks as Mr.A & Flight will rock the place. House hasn’t been this good in Tampere after the Good Miau! Days :)

Picks from the crate #1 – DJ Kim

By Uncategorized3 Comments

This is my first post in “Picks from the crate” series. I’m picking up meaningful, old, rare, fresh and interesting CDs, mixtapes and vinyls from my record collection and ranting about them. Unlike in today’s digital music collection, I feel like there are 1000 stories in my record shelf, waiting to be told. Let this be the first one.

DJ Kim - The Beauty & The Beast - mixtape 2001. Picks from the crate - www.djorion.fi

I bought this double mixCD while visiting some club event held in Tampere-Talo in 2001. I had just moved to Rovaniemi and thought a piece of my previous hometown in a form of two CDs wouldn’t do any harm. What I got, is pure awesomeness still today.

I guess everyone remembers Kim (or KimiK) as a house jock, but in the around the beginning of the new millennium many DJs in Tampere had sort of a identity crisis. Infekto tried a new alias “Rec”, many techno DJs went into hard house, trance DJs got bored and started playing “more interesting” progressive music (Stephanie K & Creamer, anyone? ;) and also KimiK went into new grounds – towards more melodic and trancey sound.

Nevertheless, this must be his best mixtape, including the most amazing progressive and trancey house tunes of the early 00’s. There’s Starecase, Hybrid, BT, Ashtrax, Cass&Slide, Maurice’s Feline, Stakker’s Humanoid, Max Graham’s Airtight etc etc… I guess anyone who lived through the 1999-2001 electronic music hype in Tampere shouldn’t miss this. Anyone else still having this in the shelf?

(A cool detail – in the inner sleeve there’s a note “Mixed live at the Kaleva Cathouse with Tamperefiilis(tm)” ;)

Check the full tracklist below.
