Headliner Jose Padilla will be featured on YleX’s XmiX on March 2nd – interview and exclusive mix coming up.

I’ll be playing on both Pacifique nights the finishing slot at the main arena together with Orkidea and Mr.A. The full schedule is here.

In addition, there will be the usual After Hours at Playground after both nights. I’ll be testing my endurance behind the decks on Sunday morning with slightly more techno/tech-house influenced set.

See you soon!

Here we go again! Pacifique Waikiki will be the 8th tropical Pacifique event to take place in the middle of winter and in the middle of nowhere.

Chris Coco writes about his Finland experience

By UncategorizedNo Comments

It seems Chris Coco had some great time visiting Pacifique Maupiti 2011 last weekend. Check his long blog post about the visit and some great photos.

Then bang, summer again, same as yesterday, like a movie on loop, like a dream on repeat. But this time there’s a different energy, more everything, more atmosphere, more air and water, more bodies splashing and tumbling, and it’s hard to shoot because it’s dark and the bodies keep moving, just bodies on bodies like some medieval vision of heaven or hell, but in this case it’s closer to heaven. And if you stand right you can still see the ski slope outside in the dark, and the piles of snow and you can laugh at the beautiful absurdity of it all. This place. This glorious party. This wonderful life.

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.

Pacifique Luau this Saturday

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Pacifique 2008, Serena, Espoo, Finland - 13

This Saturday it’s time for one of the most awaited annual electronic music events in Finland. Pacifique, held in Serena waterpark, the biggest spa in Scandinavia, gathers couple of dozen of DJs and artists (incl. legendary Danny Rampling) and 1500 clubbers to enjoy the 32C heat, humidity and beats.

It’s going to be a night to remember, especially after a winter this cold. I’ll be opening the main stage with 1h hour Pacifique style chill-out set starting at 18:30. For those who haven’t ever been there that early – the first moments of the event are truly magical – empty waterpark, still pools, gathering people, slowly moving lights above the waters – literally calm before the storm.

Looking forward to see you on Saturday :)

Pacifique Lumière, this Saturday

By UncategorizedNo Comments

One of the most awaited events of the year is at hands. Pacifique is one day of summer in the middle of the coldest winter and probably one of those nights people will remember for years.

It was my first time last year to see all of it, and boy, was I excited :)

For those who hear about Pacifique for the first time: it’s a 2000 people party, held once a year at Serena, the biggest in-door spa in Northern Europe. Five stages and whole variety of electronic music and electronica. Sold out in less than a month this year.

In 2009, Pacifique will also see its first foreign guest, Alfredo, the godfather of Ibiza house. It’s the same guy who inspired the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway back in the day and was the one to start the spirit of Ibiza people are still enjoying today. Really looking forward to see the guy in action.

Misc. will take care of artist coordination, so no getting loose (at least as much as last time:), but this is still one of the highlights of this year, needless to say. I’m also playing a one hour chill-out set at the saunas in a familiar From Rural To Urban spirit, starting at 22:30. Join in and get a good löyly or two :) (and if you’re interested, check the tracklist from last year)
