Awesome night, great sets, happy people and a sold-out night. It was great to test drive Funktion One soundsystem for the first time, too – no wonder they’re saying Redrum has the best DJ booth and sound in Finland. Thanks to everyone involved, more jackjackjack in March.
This Saturday we’ll celebrate Jack’s first year in Redrum – and what a year it has been. Dave Seaman, Nick Warren & Jody Wisternoff sharing the same DJ booth, Matthew Dekay rocking the house at Jean Michel Jarre‘s concert unofficial afterparty, summer vibes at Danceteria cruise afterparty and much more.
I’m really looking forward to the upcoming year – it seems there will be more One & Love events and the future of Jack looks bright too. This Saturday, at Jack’s 2010 season opening, I’ll be joining the decks with the finest and most promising house talents at the moment: morning party hero Paul Easy, fresh prog house duo Something Good, Visions DJ’s from Playground and Romance head-honcho DJ Flight.
This is also my first time behind Redrum’s decks and I’m really excited of finally getting into the groove with much-talked Funktion One soundsystem. They say Redrum has easily the best DJ booth in Finland – can’t wait to get a hands-on experience :)
To get more information about Saturday’s Jack event, head to the Facebook Event page, read the previous blog post about the event or read the artist interviews at Klubitus.org topic.
On New Year’s day, 01.01.2010, Helsinki will feel the longest DJ set in Finland as DJ Orkidea plays a full 23h non-stop gig in Redrum. The marathon mayhem starts at 05:00 on New Year’s Day and ends at 04:00 on next day. The main happening takes place in Redrum, but there’s also stuff happening in Copacabana and Ice Bar. Copacabana offers full restaurant capabilities for hungry and possibly tired clubbers while Ice Bar is a literally a chilled-out (-5C) room with non-stop downtempo goodness provided by DJ Indigo and me.
I’ve compiled a 323 minute mix for the event in the spirit of 23 years of electronic chill-out music and the icy location where it’s being performed. To add some more number play, the mix was compiled on 23th of December and the maker has his birthday on 23.2. Crazy, huh? ;)
You can find loads of information about the event on Facebook or on DJ Orkidea’s website. If and when you’re witnessing the longest club gig in Finland, drop by to minus degree chill-out space, too :)
JACK. AND THIS IS FRESH!
”In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldy declared,
Let there be HOUSE!
And house music was born.”
New year brings new DJs again! After some foreign legends visiting the Redrum booth recently we’ll have a traditional fresh DJs night at JACK in January. This is surely no bedroom DJ set up but in our opinion a collection of best and most current DJ talent Finland has to offer in the year 2010: SOMETHING GOOD guys who’ve been rocking Diskobar Loop for months and who are debuting at Danceteria in December, JAAGO and NIP ONE from Playground’s finest up’n’coming DJ collective Visions DJs, hypnotic tech(no) house sensei PAUL EASY, YleX/Misc promoter/artist DJ ORION and FLIGHT who rocked big time the Pacifique and Laserpoint main stages in 2009. All the fun will be hosted by ORKIDEA and PELED BROS. Last January’s similar night was sold out and one of Redrum’s alltime record nights. In January it’s again time to Ja-Ja-Ja-Jack Your Body!
SOMETHING GOOD [Diskobar Loop] PAUL EASY [Playground] NIP ONE [Visions DJs] JAAGO [Visions DJs] DJ ORION [YleX] FLIGHT [Misc)
Lights by Jouni Kokko [Redrum] Hosted by DJ Orkidea & Peled Bros [Unity/Misc]

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.

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
One of my very early sources of inspiration and fascination lands to Helsinki tonight. Jean Michel Jarre’s “Musik Aus Zeit Und Raum” was among the first LPs I’ve bought and as a teenager I was stunned by the TV broadcasts of his shows in Paris and other massive outdoor venues. This tour, however, is held indoors in its whole, but I’m expecting nothing less.
Jack organizes the unofficial afterparty at Redrum after the concert. Indigo, Orkidea and Matthew Dekay serve the beats. What comes to progressive house jocks, Mr.Dekay is certainly among my favourites. Beautiful Monday/Fucking Friday release on Deep Records turned my eyes on him in 2003 and his releases have been on heavy rotation ever since. I’m really happy that Jack had the possibility of bringing Matthew to Helsinki, really looking forward to his set. For more details, browse to Jack Facebook event.
”In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.

IT’S SUPER JACK !!!.
There are models and there are super models. There are also DJs and super DJs and Nick Warren is truly one of the original superstar DJs. He is creator Read More
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
Jack moves to Redrum and kick-starts the spring season this Saturday with handful of frrresh Helsinki-based house jocks.
Jack is also part of Helsinki Techno City which combines the clubs of Mr.A, Lil’Tony, Eliot Ness and DJ Orkidea under one roof.
Check the event details from Klubitus or Facebook and join the dance on Saturday.
P.S. Mark your calendar for Super Jack, 21.03.2009…
Jack is back after a short break, turning five and being as nasty and stubborn yet adorable as a five-year-old can be. The fifth anniversary birthday guest is Jody Wisternoff from the Way Out West fame, one of my early musical heroes and a guy who still keeps delivering. His podcast is a great example of his wide music taste and abilities as a DJ, make sure to subscribe :) The domestic sound of the night will be taken care by the long-time Jack residents DJ Orkidea and Lil’Tony.
Check the flyers above and below to get more information or simply click yourself to Klubitus event page.
This is also the last Jack event at Kuudes Linja. In 2009, Redrum will give Jack a new home. Exciting times ahead…
