Kuopio was cool!
For a moment it seemed I wouldn’t be playing there at all – my flight from Berlin was delayed so badly that I missed the connecting (and last) flight from Helsinki to Kuopio. And due to quite nasty airline regulations my return flight from Kuopio back to Helsinki was cancelled, too.
Luckily there still was one train leaving from Helsinki to Kuopio. Finally after 12 hours of travelling I reached Puijonsarvi and got to the decks three minutes before my set started. Phew…
But it was worth the travel. Alijas had warmed up the place really nicely and it was cool seeing Kuopio go mad to proper electronic music. The highlights for me were Kobana’s & Yane3dots’ new track Woosh, Madeon’s Icarus and Nuta Cookier’s Maschine Groove (Marco Bailey & Tom Hades Remix). It was a nice surprise to see how well technoish sound went down, too. Playing Marco Bailey, Kaiserdisco and Timo Maas for hands-in-the-air Kuopio crowd was unexpected, but awesome.
Orkidea ended the night with nice 2h selection of his own tunes. The new album tunes went down well and it was great to hear a couple of classics like original mix of Unity and Requiem.
Brilliant night, excellent & enthusiastic crowd (Thank You!!) and a long, long trip back home after 1,5h of sleep ;)

Tracklist: DJ Orion @ DJ Orkidea’s 20 years of DJing & album release tour – Senssi, Lahti 17.12.2011
Awesome weekend in Seinäjoki & Lahti. The audience was off the hook at both parties and it was a privilege to play after the main man Orkidea finishing his official tour set. It was great to see how well Orkidea’s new and old tracks went down – no matter if it’s about more hypnotic vibes such as “Sphere” or “Slowmotion” or ravey tunes like Flight 643 remix or brand new Solarstone’s remix of Unity, the crowd was enjoying it at its fullest.
Below is the exact tracklist of the event in Lahti. The tracks in Seinäjoki were more or less the same, in slightly different order. While Seinäjoki was a bit more on a full-on trancey tip (like Atlantis – Fiji (Alpha Duo remix) and Solid Globe – North Pole (Sean Bayer remix), which were played only there), Lahti went to more techno/rave direction (like Maas’ Jetstream and Misjah’s Access).

I’m super happy to jump on the plane and join DJ Orkidea’s Album Release Tour this weekend. On Friday it’s Seinäjoki time – the latest parties at Karma have been nothing but amazing: sold-out venue, brilliant crowd and Pohojammaa-vibe which is non-describable (because afterwards you don’t remember a thing). Lahti, the Chicago of Finland is up on Saturday and equally exciting. I’ll be closing the night after Orkidea’s performance so the music should go to a pretty uplifting direction this time. Can’t wait!
And yes – you can buy Orion & J.Shore’s new album “Brotherhood” both in Seinäjoki and Lahti. It’s out on Friday so you’ll be among the very first to get a copy. Besides, I have a feeling that a chill-out record will be handy after these tour nights ;)
Massive respect to Orkidea, big thumbs up for his new album and making it possible for us to join “20” tour.

Seinäjoki was off the hook in April 2011. Here’s a short video:
Orkidea’s Metaverse Tour in 2008 was a blast, too:

Thursday August 6: Madonna West Harbour, Helsinki, Finland
The sun is still with us as we cross on the ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki. The ride over is a laugh and the food excellent!
Arriving at the hotel its: out of the car, avoid being run down by cyclist, meet the promoter for tomorrow night club gig at Circus, then check into our hotel. As with all his club gigs on this tour, Paul has his DJ equipment from his rider set up in his hotel room on arrival. This allows him to listen to material for on-going projects (which there are many of) plus new tracks from CD’s to try out for that night’s set. It’s a good system that works on many different levels.
From the dock, we can view the staging on West Harbour (the site for tomorrows concert), it’s massive. Disembarking of the boat, Paul gets talking to a Finnish Madonna fan who praises what an amazing show it was in Tallinn, and how the Finnish crowd will be even better at the tomorrows show. We can believe that, Tallinn was a good crowd but the Finns are known more for expressing themselves.
The following day, leaving the hotel for the gig, the constant flow of traffic seems to head in the direction of the West Harbour. The closer we get, it turns into a procession of people; the whole of Helsinki’s is turning out for Madonna.
Once his arm is taped again, Paul is well enough to play. It’s awkward, but he arrives on stage to an absolute mass of (what later was recorded as) 98,000 people. Still, getting them to warm up and have a good time is no easy job. Gradually, the crowd follows his every gesture until being completely persuaded by the appearance of Madonna’s dancers, who are now a part of this ritual warm up. The sight of this mass of smiling people is 100% satisfying. This has been a most awesome crowd!

What a year it has been.
The first ideas of Orkidea’s album release tour were discussed about two years ago between Orkidea and Asaf and the first meetings were held one year ago. After countless emails, discussions, meetings and cups of coffee (and some hard work, too) DJ Orkidea, Misc. Management & Universal Music launched the Metaverse album and the tour in the end of February, 2008.
Yesterday’s sold-out Laserpoint event was the last one of the Metaverse related events and a perfect ending for the tour. The production was top-notch and the atmosphere simply breath-taking. All the respect to Lauri & the Laserpoint possé. (Some Laserpoint on-site interviews available on the voice blogs of Orkidea and me)
Personally the past months have been the most exciting and productive during my whole music career. Organizing the tour has been very busy and extremely stressy, but with the Misc. boys Oded and Asaf and our main man Tapsa we’ve formed a great team sharing all the good and the bad. I could get really emotional about this, but let’s just say they’re 100% professionals with a humble attitude and love for music and life. It’s been a privilege working, learning and sharing the music with people like them.
Also all the sincere thank-yous to all the Metaverse co-promoters, San Mejor, Ismo, Kalle, Jussi, Seb, Flight, Beliar, Exxa & DJShop, Jykä, Miska, Zonex, Ton-E, Toni, Syna & Fiksaatio-possé not to forget thousands of music lovers all over Finland who made the tour worth touring. Share the love :)
Now the tour has ended, but there’s still a lot to do. During the next week I’ll be working on the Metaverse Laserpoint video and the final Metaverse Tour video compilation which compresses the best tour moments to less than two minutes. We will also publish some Metaverse statistics at the same time.
Also, Misc. Management artist roster will see some changes in the near future. We will have a very talented and promising Finnish artist joining the team plus a popular, nice and cool world-class DJ, whose Baltic and Scandinavian performances we will take care of from now on. Exciting times ahead.
Peace,
Juska / Orion
