Tracklist: DJ Orion @ DJ Orkidea’s 20 years of DJing & album release tour – Senssi, Lahti 17.12.2011
Awesome weekend in Seinäjoki & Lahti. The audience was off the hook at both parties and it was a privilege to play after the main man Orkidea finishing his official tour set. It was great to see how well Orkidea’s new and old tracks went down – no matter if it’s about more hypnotic vibes such as “Sphere” or “Slowmotion” or ravey tunes like Flight 643 remix or brand new Solarstone’s remix of Unity, the crowd was enjoying it at its fullest.
Below is the exact tracklist of the event in Lahti. The tracks in Seinäjoki were more or less the same, in slightly different order. While Seinäjoki was a bit more on a full-on trancey tip (like Atlantis – Fiji (Alpha Duo remix) and Solid Globe – North Pole (Sean Bayer remix), which were played only there), Lahti went to more techno/rave direction (like Maas’ Jetstream and Misjah’s Access).

I’m super happy to jump on the plane and join DJ Orkidea’s Album Release Tour this weekend. On Friday it’s Seinäjoki time – the latest parties at Karma have been nothing but amazing: sold-out venue, brilliant crowd and Pohojammaa-vibe which is non-describable (because afterwards you don’t remember a thing). Lahti, the Chicago of Finland is up on Saturday and equally exciting. I’ll be closing the night after Orkidea’s performance so the music should go to a pretty uplifting direction this time. Can’t wait!
And yes – you can buy Orion & J.Shore’s new album “Brotherhood” both in Seinäjoki and Lahti. It’s out on Friday so you’ll be among the very first to get a copy. Besides, I have a feeling that a chill-out record will be handy after these tour nights ;)
Massive respect to Orkidea, big thumbs up for his new album and making it possible for us to join “20” tour.

Seinäjoki was off the hook in April 2011. Here’s a short video:
Orkidea’s Metaverse Tour in 2008 was a blast, too:

Kotka. Suomen paras backstage, hands down.

Big mistake?
Kohtalaisen kuumottavaa pizzaa Seinäjoella.
Hyvä ilta tulossa Seinäjoella.

Amazing party on Saturday in Seinäjoki. 700 people packed to a two-dancefloor venue, the other floor serving the finest dubstep, breaks & drum’n’bass and other being mainly house/trance four-on-the-floor madness. I started with Ashley Wallbridge’s intro version of Gareth Emery’s Arrival, continued in a more proghouse mood and after a couple of more technoish numbers ended the night with some well known trance tunes. It was a pleasure to see 4 Strings version of Slusnik Luna’s going down really fine as well as Feijk’s & Davidson’s Buzz Kill and (naturally) Chase&Status – Blind Faith as an encore.
Big, big thank-yous to everyone coming there and making the night that special and hats off to Fiksaatio possé (always a pleasure to be there!) and my fellow jocks Timo, Sami, Genki and co.

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.
