Here are a couple of photos taken during our Live PA + some overall atmosphere photos @ Whiteout 2011, Cable Factory, Helsinki. Thanks to Fredrik @ Sessions2 for superb shots.
I can’t believe it’s been 12 years I walked to Cable Factory to my first Labyrinth event. If someone would have told me I’d once open one of these events doing my first Live PA with my brother J.Shore (who was by then only 9 years old), I probably would’ve found it hard to believe.
Nevertheless, after working with the tracks regular hours week after week since last October, we finished the final touches to the live show and our upcoming album only 1,5 weeks before Whiteout 2011. We are hoping the album to see the light of the day rather soon.
Massive thanks to Whiteout possé and special shouts to Efo for superb stage managing – not to forget each one of you arriving early to join the chill-out startup. Thank You!

Bujashaka, the most innovative club concept in Kotka returns on April. Really happy to be part of this one. It’s not that often when you get to share the stage(s) with a funk DJ, choir and Karjala-vibe reggae band. Wow.
You can never have too much of a good thing. Following Slusnik Luna’s superb ‘2011’ and the much-loved 4 Strings remix, we have a bumper package of ‘Sun 2011’ remixes – each adding their own individual slant to this updated classic.
First up, though is the legendary track that inspired all these updates – the original ‘Sun’ anthem from 2000. Regarded by many as one of the most legendary trance tracks of all time, for those that missed out on Slusnik Luna’s original ‘Sun’ anthem (which actually made the UK top 40 pop charts back in the day), it’s here in all its uplifting, bleepy glory.
The bouncy, electronic house rework from Joonas Hahmo is an upbeat rework that captures the original’s uplifting elements in a fresh, Ibiza-ready groove.
Resident at UK trance bastion Passion, upcoming producer Genix takes things into darker, deeper territory with his gnarly, innovative rework – full of worming bass grooves and sneaky melody snippets.
Rising Finnish star Heikki L turns in a progressive-tweaked electro-trance powerhouse, while DJ Orion & J Shore recruit some live strings for their elegant and gloriously slo-mo chill-out reinterpretation – a beautiful, alternative listening experience.

Great party last night @ Tivoli. Fun fact: none of the main room jocks was playing CDs anymore. Instead, Super8&Tab took advantage of SD-cards, Orkidea plugged in Traktor software and I went with two USB sticks. That’s so 2011. I wonder with what we’ll be playing in 2015…? :)
Here’s the tracklist. Happy new year, let’s make it a good one!

This Saturday sees the long awaited debut album release event of Super8 & Tab, the most successful Finnish trance duo. The parrrrty will take place at Virgin Oil with – naturally – Super8 & Tab headlining. Me and DJ Orkidea will do the backup.
Downstairs summer club Mixxed hosts Niko Geselle and Tony Profondo will take care of the proper vibe.
Super8&Tab will start at midnight and I’ll be doing the warmup 22-00 with a trancey state of mind.
I will also play a 2,5h set at the afterparty 05:00-07:30 at Playground on a way more tech-house/techno tip. If the evening wasn’t long enough, this might be a place to give a shot.
Good weekend coming up. Let’s get it on.
