I think many of us could agree that we had one of the best ONE events last night (Facebook event). With the most probability it was also the last event at Pellava which is really a shame as the place was now really showing what it’s capable of.
It was so great to see loads of oldskool faces – not only from Tampere but all the way from Helsinki, Kouvola, Lahti etc. – coming to rave in the spirit of classic tunes from the past years. Okiru warmed up the floor with superb progressive classics (tracklist, anyone?:) and showed the mad mixing skills have definitely not corroded during the years.
Coma & KimiK followed with 100% vinyl set containing really bassheavy, driving proggy Tampere classics from Miau! and Tunnel era, ending their set to Bedrock’s Heaven Scent and Deepsky’s Stargazer with proper 138bpm.
As said to KimiK in the booth – no matter what you play after those tunes – it just sounds worse :)
I had a very intense 45min set (all-in-all the set lengths were very short due to closing time at 03:00), playing ONE classics – the tracks which have been particularly memorable during the ONE years and tracks which have become classics at Tanssitalo or Pellava. The full tracklist is below.
Finally, Cosmicman took the last hour to early 2000 style trancey direction which seemed to go down very well and ended his set with legendary twothousand-something kixu classic I Love You, which summed up the night nicely.
But the artists didn’t make the night – it was the fantastic crowd. They don’t talk about Tampere-fiilis in vain. It was the most open-minded, happily careless and most intense audience I’ve experienced in Tampere in many, many, many years. Right people in the right place. One family :)
The ONE afterparty couldn’t have been better either. Starting at 03:00 in the very centrum of Tampere, afterhour maestros Flight and Paul Easy dropped quality tech-house and techno choons to nearly 250 party people. Instead of a “morning of the living dead” the atmosphere was high and dancefloor full of energetic, smiling people enjoying to get down. Tampere at its best :)
Another great summer starter behind. Massive thanks to Flight & Uzu + co. for making this happen.

Kehto Magazine interviewed me shortly (in Finnish) about the upcoming ONE event. Check the article on Kehto Mag or read it below.
Iltamien nimi jo kertookin, että kyseessä on klassikoille pyhitetty tapahtuma. Millaisia arkiston helmiä on mahdollisesti luvassa?
Alunperin One Classics -tapahtumaa lähdettiin kasaamaan Tampere Classics -työnimellä, koska haluttiin nimenomaa fiilistellä Tampereella vuosien varrella isoiksi muodostuneita biisejä – ja vielä niin, että soittamassa olisivat tyypit, jotka ovat olleet tekemässä näistä biiseistä aikoinaan hittejä.
Oon erittäin fiiliksissä, että saatiin matkaan sekä Coma että KimiK erittäin harvinaisella kimppasetillä. Coman 90-luvun lopun Tunnel-klubi ja Kimin Miau! ovat olleet monelle vielä tänäkin päivänä Tampere-skenessä pyörivälle todella iso juttu.
Samaan tapaan Kenjido Okirun edustama Iglu oli 2000-luvun alkupuolella erittäin merkittävä klubikonsepti Tampereella – erittäin upeaa että Okiru pääsee tarjoilemaan tätä klassikko-osastoa heti ovien avaamisesta lähtien.
Mutta vaikka klassikkotapahtumasta puhutaankin, niin juttu ei ole suunnattu todellakaan vain yli 10 vuotta skenessä viihtyneille vaan musalinjaus pidetään myös tässä päivässä. Mä soitan ennen Cosmicmania selektion ONE-klassikoita – biisejä, jotka on näiden parin vuoden aikana nousseet isoiksi nimenomaa ONEssa ja joissa olisi potentiaalia myös tulevaisuuden Tampere-klassikoiksi.
Arkiston helmiä on kuitenkin luvassa meiltä kaikilta. ONEn Klubitus-topicissa julkaistaan vielä ennen tapahtumaa kolme klassikkomiksausta Comalta, Kimiltä ja multa.
Varsinaisen päätapahtuman jälkeen on myös luvassa viralliset afterpartyt. Onko juhlakansalle luvassa jotain yllätystä kenties?
ONEn tapaan jatkoille on varmistettu uusi, aiemmin käyttämätön venue aivan ydinkeskustassa.
Tampereella on ollut tilausta kunnon jatkoille – täällä aamubilekulttuuri ei ole samaan tapaan säännöllistä kuin vaikkapa Helsingissä, mutta kysyntää on. Lineupissa on Suomen paras aamubile-DJ Paul Easy / Poliisi sekä Tamperetta viime vuosina vahvasti Suomen klubikartalla pitänyt Flight.
Kannattaa kysellä jatkojen tarkkaa sijaintia ja muita infoja päätapahtumassa.
Millaiset ovat omat odotuksesi illan suhteen, kun Cosmicman tekee comebackin pitkän tauon jälkeen?
Illan teeman mukaisesti Cosmicmanilta on pyydetty 2000-luvun parhaimmistoa sisältävä tranceklassikkosetti. Miehellä on varmasti näkemystä etenkin tälle aikakaudelle ja paluu takaisin deckkien äärelle monen vuoden jälkeen on varmasti kokemisen arvoinen juttu.
Miten määrittelisit käsitteen ”Tampere-fiilis”?
Hoh, nyt pistit pahan. Tampere-fiiliksestä taidettiin puhua ensimmäisiä kertoja 90-luvun lopussa, kun Tampereen klubiskene oli todella aktiivinen, tapahtumia vähintään pari joka viikonlopulle ja kävijöitä runsaasti. Etenkin trancepuolen jutuissa oli silloin korostuneen yhteisöllinen fiilis, joka sitten vain kulminoitui tuohon “Tampere-fiilis”-kuvaukseen. Klubeistä erityisesti Taika, Tunnel ja MIR edustivat itselleni kunnon Tampere-fiilistä.
Mutta vaikka kaupunki, klubit, tarjonta ja ihmiset ovatkin muuttuneet paljon niistä ajoista niin en sanoisi että se Tampere-fiilis on kadonnut yhtään mihinkään. Viimeisten parin vuoden aikana kun olen saanut olla mukana tekemässä ONEa yhdessä UzUn ja Flightin kanssa, on Tampereen tapahtumissa edelleenkin törmännyt uskomattoman lämpimään, avarakatseiseen ja yhteisölliseen fiilikseen, joka ei jää jälkeen siitä alkuperäisestä Tampere-fiiliksestä.
Mutta niin – kokeahan se pitää.

It’s been over four months since Uzu phoned me they’ve found a proper venue for upcoming One events. After two successful years in Tanssitalo, we were sad to leave the old venue behind but clearly this seemed like a proper replacement for a well served humppa-venue. Now, after four months of preparing to get reunited, I think we had a pretty good start last night at Pellava, the new home of One.
It was nice to see drS warming up the floor and filling it in less than an hour with great oldskoolish, proggy vibes (I’m really looking forward to see his full tracklist..), Something Good delivered something good with their new tunes and more housey & bassheavy approach which worked really well and Jussi Soro ended the night with his trademark trancey tunes (including Atlantis Ita’s I See You In The Next Life as encore).
I was happy to see our new re-edits going down really well – the brand new edit of Slusnik Luna’s Sun had its premiere last night and it was nice to see crowd recognizing the Heaven Scent re-edit already long before the main riff hit in. The full tracklist is listed above.
Funktion One & Battery Sound System did their thing, too. It’s been a while when you’ve really felt the music in your chest like that. The stone walls gave an extra *ooomph* to the bass, but also a nasty echo to the DJ-booth, which seemed to bother all the DJs a bit. I heard the same sound system will be used next time at Laterna when Romance enters the venue on 8.5. I can imagine due to smaller venue it’ll be even more intensive sound experience and definitely worth a check.
Battery Sound System also included CDJ-2000s, so this was the first time for me to test them on a gig. I took the most out of it and also used USB sticks instead of CDs. It was reliable, fast and very convinient, but it’ll definitely take a while to get used to browse the music collection on a small screen instead of a CD-case – I still like the physical format. Despite that, I’m really looking forward to CDJ-2000s becoming club standard players – they feel good :)
Anyway, I was happy to see so many people smiling, partying carelessly and getting into Tampere-fiilis. One got a good start at Pellava – sure there were some things which will be done better in the future (and we’re more than happy to hear any suggestions from you) – but nevertheless, we’re now looking forward to early June. On 5.6. Pellava will host another One-event with “Tampere Classics” theme. Big tunes all night long :) To get the info first, you can follow One at Twitter or keep refreshing www.one-event.info every 30seconds or so ;)
Thanks again for the great, great night & vibes. See you in June!

Dear friends and night life lovers!
Here is a short recap of what we Misc boys have been cooking this year, which was one of our busiest yet… We feel we want to share and thank you all for being a part of these great memories. Knowing when to say yes and when to say no is something we have gotten better at with age and experience. And my my my how many yesses had to be said in 2009!
JACK – Rocking Redrum
We joined Orkidea as the co-producers of Jack’s new beginning at Redrum. Line ups went from the new and old school DJ’s of Finland, to great legends of the world and one solo set by Orkidea. The nights turned out to be some of this year’s hottest, sweatiest and funnest parties in Helsinki. We will be closing our first JACK year with the biggest birthday party to date! Redrum will be headlined by Dave Seaman and the afterparty at Playground by Jody Wisternoff on the 21.11.2009!!!
CULTIVATE – Online TV Show
An online show about what’s bubbling under (and pouring out of the champagne glasses) in Helsinki was issued for Basso TV and Diesel. Oded Peled got dressed up with La Persé, beaten up on Vappu and left thirsty at Helsinki Design Week…
Check the episodes on the Diesel site: http://www.diesel.com/cult/cultivate/
LOVE – Brings us all together…
LOVE arrived in the summer. A fresh approach of building a club concept taught us so much and brought us light… Although there have only been 2 amazing parties to date, it feels as if a complete book could be written about the process of falling in love and the experiences it gave to people involved in it.
Pictures, videos and love stories can be found at : http://www.lovehelsinki.fi
DANCE. HERE. NOW. – All over the country
The club concept was planned to spread the sounds and vibes of our artists all over the country… And so it did. Our trips to Kouvola, Kajaani, Tampere, Kuopio, Joensuu, Hanko, Rovaniemi and Kalajoki have given us some great experiences and a deeper understanding of the club scene in Finland. A big thank you for dancing right there and then!!!
EXTREMELY MISCBEHAVING – Orkidea and his DJ Heros
Another fabulous night with Orkidea and friends at the packed Helsinki Club… A smooth musical journey downstairs and an upstairs filled with new DJ Heros. The after-party at Playground was hosted by Orion and kept you dancing till the morning light. Extreeeeeemely fun !

ORKIDEA 23 HOUR SET – 2010, Here we come!
As if only to keep the bar very high, the first day of 2010 will start with a historical event, when Orkidea will play the longest set in his life. A 23 hour supermegamarathon at Redrum and Copacabana. Probably and possibly the last time something like this happens in Finland. Unless some other nutcase does it :)
A big thank you to all of you, that came and made the nights unforgettable… We hope to share more nights together with you.
Oded, Asaf, Juska and Marko
After monday’s first snow the warm days of the year are now officially behind. I just can’t believe it’s already over four months ago when we celebrated the first days of the summer (holiday) in Tampere, had an awesome One event and a weekend to remember. Nah, only 8 months of darkness to go and we’re there again :)
[flickr-gallery mode=”photoset” photoset=”72157619084038778″]Already One year old, but still fresh concept “One” returns from the long summer break on Saturday at Tampere’s Tanssitalo. This is the first time I can’t attend One due to my happily changed family situation, but if you happen to be nearby, I strongly recommend to check out one of the coolest atmospheres and venues Tampere has seen in a while.
The lineup is short but superb: DJ Orkidea will be playing his only gig in Tampere in 2009 at One and spending full six hours behind the decks. I still remember Metaverse-tour visiting Tampere as one of the highlights of the Orkidea’s album release tour and the latest visit at One with Solarstone didn’t lack any superlatives :)
Joili did an awesome trailer for the event, check it out here or below.

This Saturday One returns to Tanssitalo to start the summer. For me this also means a short break with One – unfortunately I can’t be present at the first One of the upcoming autumn (for the reasons I will tell later), so I will definitely make the most out of this experience. Check the One trailer above (fantastic work by joili) and the details below.
ONE Summer Starter
Saturday 30.5.2009, 22 – 04, K18, 10€ @ Tanssitalo / Tampere
NIKLAS HARDING [Armada, Denmark] OLLIS [YleX] ORION [Misc, YleX]
I’m really excited of hearing Niklas’s set again – the last time must have been on Iglu tour years ago and it was just brilliant. Niklas’s career has been very very successful in the past years and I’m assuming this will a One to remember… :)

“Tampere-fiilis” was a late 90’s phenomena in Tampere, purely born in local trance events when melodic trance was at its peak and rave culture enjoyed high popularity. I remember events like Taika ’98 in which people were dancing spontaniously hand-in-hand, club Tunnel with Coma and 3.14Sami spinning in an old, small rock club to 200+ clubbers every second Thursday, everybody going mental. I hope I haven’t become cynical when claiming that nearly a decade has passed in Tampere without any similar feeling of regular PLUR ;)
ONE has succeeded in something that felt like an impossible task a couple of years ago. It seemed that you couldn’t attract any audience without bringing bigger and bigger foreign acts even though it was just the fun and good atmosphere people were after. Saturday night at Tanssitalo, with hundreds and hundreds of people going insane and a lineup consisting of only former and current Tampere talents proved that you don’t need any foreign acts to get loose. Just a club full of your best friends and a long lost Tampere-fiilis :)
After a night like that, I can’t wait to get back to Tanssitalo. See you at the next One, on 30.5.2009.
Joni shot some amazing photos, check them all on his Flickr account or click the photos around this post.

After the winter break, One returns this weekend at Tampere’s Tanssitalo.

One is having only two events this spring in Tanssitalo, the second being the official summer starter on 30.5.2009. On that day Tampere will go trancey in the hands of a Armada talent from Denmark and another bunch of domestic jocks. But first – looking forward to see you this Saturday! (See the Facebook event.)
