Tracklist: Orion @ After Showers, Playground, 11.3.2012

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Playground after hours are always worth visiting and being the unofficial Pacifique afterparty, it was pretty clear it’s going to be off the hook. Flink had already the groove on when I arrived and it was easy to continue where he left off. I’ve lately been into a bit more technoish stuff so I left most of the tech-housey tracks off this time and offered some pretty dark and gloomy techno tunes instead. And boy, did they go down well… Brilliant night and awesome crowd. Looking forward to the next visit :)

Warming up Dennis Sheperd & Kyau&Albert and playing for the first at Venue, Helsinki was a bliss. The soundsystem is amazing. Check the tracklist below.
(The pic above is not from this actual event.)

Playing at Playground After Hours was brilliant, too. Unfortunately no tracklist of those early morning hours 04:00-07:00, but one particularly memorable tune was Tigerskin’s Push The Patton around 06:00. It’s 2007 tune but still works like a charm. Check the video below the tracklist.

Distortion - Drum 'n Hard @ Playground, 17.06.2011

Facebook event.

This one should be interesting and lots of fun. I’ll be playing my first (and probably the last;) hard nrg / hard trance set in 10 years or so. I was really into 160bpm+ music in the early 2000, but as I heard already back then, your age and slower bpm often go hand in hand :) But nevertheless, when asked, I felt really good digging the shelves for the old records (yes, this one will be 100% vinyl gig) and sorting out the Cannon, VCF, VCR, Tinrib, Stay Up Forever and Ef.adrine classics and tunes from Lab4, Choci, Mishka, Weirdo, Mauro Picotto and many more.

Below: One of my alltime favourite Picotto tracks, Hong Kong.

Pacifique Maupiti and After Showers this weekend.

By UncategorizedNo Comments

This weekend will be one of the most waited ones this spring. The annual Pacifique event will fill up Serena water park in Espoo for the whole weekend as a two-day event. Balearic superhero Chris Coco will be headlining (You can catch Chris Coco also on my YleX show next Friday 4.3.2011 after 22:00) and four stages are filled with state-of-the-art Finnish artists. Check the full lineup on Pacifique website. I’ll be warming up Chris Coco on both days on the main stage at 22:00-23:00.

After the Friday’s event I’ll be joining the fun at Pacifique’s Unofficial “After Showers” at Playground. Hosted by beloved Paul Easy (who’s delivering a fine one hour mix as YleX XmiX artist this Friday at 23:00 on YleX), the afterparty starts at 05:00 and goes on until midday. Phew.

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.

Jack 7th birthday this weekend

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Jack 7th anniversary poster

Seven years of house music. Jack’s come a long way… I remember hearing about a club called Jack when I was still living in Rovaniemi and all the hype caught my eye instantly. It was a fresh concept right from the beginning and gave everyone a possibility to hear both veteran DJs and fresh talents under one roof. It also was – at least for me – one of clubs to make house music easily approachable, fresh and hip again. And I’m sure many house purists disagree with me here ;)

Jack landed to Rovaniemi in 2004, if I recall right. It was supposed to be a one-off night, but after an instant success and a sold-out night, people ended up going crazy with Jay Mellin, Milla Lehto, Dallas Superstars, Mr.A, Lil’Tony, Orkidea, Tomi K, Uke and KimiK during the next 2,5 years.

When I moved to Helsinki in 2006 I was asked to join the team to produce Jack and during the past years I’ve felt more than priviledged to be a part of such an innovative, creative and happy team and pushing forward Helsinki house music scene.

The past year in Redrum has been one of the most successful in Jack’s history. We’ve seen Nick Warren, Matthew Dekay and Gavyn Mytchel behind the decks, rocked with Fresh talents in January and co-produced Danceteria cruise afterparty – many of those with sold-out status.

Lé grande finale of this year – however – still goes one step further. Jack will celebrate its seventh anniversary for full 14 hours, starting at 22:00 on Saturday, 21.11.2009. Dave Seaman will rock the main event in Redrum and Jody Wisternoff headlines the afterparty at Playground. Finnish jocks include Orkidea, Mr.A, Peled Brothers and me. I’ll be warming up the floor at 05:00-06:30 at the afterparty (do you really need to call it a warm-up after a 6 hour mayhem in Redrum?:) and preparing the things for Jody.

To get more information about the event, surf to Jack’s Facebook event or check some discussion at Klubitus topic. Let the Jack begin.

Extremely Miscbehaving, 24.10.2009 @ Helsinki Club & Playground

By UncategorizedNo Comments

The first Extremely Miscbehaving event one year ago @ Virgin Oil was a blast. It attracted nearly 1000 people just a couple of days before Christmas with Redanka and Solarstone as headliners. The main idea behind Miscbehaving events is that one of Misc. Management artists invites 1-3 foreign or domestic & fresh or oldskool talents and builds the lineup to represent his idea of quality electronic music.

On 24.10. we’ll see another round of Miscbehaving madness as DJ Orkidea invites legendary Renaissance resident Ian Ossia and one of the hottest trance names currently – Andy Moor – to headline a Miscbehaving night at Helsinki Club. The oldskool trance/prog fellow DJ Coma will be taking care of the warm-up.

The night continues at Playground at 05:00 as an official afterparty. I’ve invited some of the most interesting current domestic names to share the early underground morning hours with me: First of all DJ Casper, who has convinced me lately with his superb techno sets. He’s a guy living the music 100% and is one of the true rising stars currently. He’s not only a guy for dark underground venues but has caught my attention by playing really rocking groovy summery sets, too.
Then, my good ol’ friend DJ Flight. We’ve shared the DJ booths and organized club events together more than a dozen times last year and I greatly admire his uncompromised professional attitude. Flight is not only a great person, but also easily one of the top house jocks in Finland at the moment. Easy choice of picking him in.
And lastly, DJ Genki, an oldskool and multi-genre-talent jock – breaks-psy-dnb-techhouse-techno-younameit! He has an ear for killer tracks whatever style he plays, but his techno sets have been the ones totally ripping it. A perfect choice for ending the night, no matter how late it gets… :)
