Pacifique Luau this Saturday

By OrionUncategorizedNo Comments

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 :)

(And while waiting, check the Pacifique 2009 galleries)

Here’s a couple of shots from past Friday’s LCS event (plus some older Turku phots, too). Great people and good vibes around – many thanks to Gavin, Ali and other LCS possé for the invitation. It was great seeing you and other Turku people after a while, they’re always great company :)

This Friday – LCS @ Klubi, Turku

By OrionUncategorizedNo Comments

I’m returning to Turku this Friday to celebrate the local Liquid Crystal Sounds club promoter’s – DJ Progression’s 30th birthday. He is throwing a party at Klubi with Joonas Hahmo, himself and me sharing the sounds.

Funny coincidence – we almost have the same birthdate, I’m having my own 30th anniversary today so it feels great to join the birthday vibes on Friday. In addition to the latest proggy/trance tunes, I’ll be grabbing some old classics with me – just to remind myself that it’s just us getting old, not the good music ;)

I’ll be behind the decks on Friday at Klubi, Turku at 01:30-03:30. See you there :)
Check the Facebook event for further details.

To sum it up, here are two great quotes, which you might have already spotted in my Twitter, but nevertheless they fit perfectly to my thirty-year-old-state-of-mind :)

“The first sign of maturity is the discovery that the volume knob also turns to the left.” -Jerry M. Wright

“You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely.” -Author Unknown

Konemetsä not organized in 2010.

By OrionUncategorizedNo Comments

Photo by Joni Tammela.

Sad news from Konemetsä possé:

“The Konemetsä Crew have decided not to arrange the festival in 2010

There have been a lot of speculation about if Konemetsä will or will not be held in 2010. We want to cut the rumors right here and right now and replace the rumors with factual information.

The Konemetsä Crew have decided not to arrange the festival in 2010. This doesn’t mean that we quit doing it for good. We have done Konemetsä for six years in a row and now we think that it’s a good idea to have a year off. This year the core crew of Konemetsä is pursuing another kind of fulfillment in life and we need to concentrate on what we’re doing right now. As festival promotion is something that consumes a lot of time and energy we would not be able to give Konemetsä the 100 % focus that it deserves.

We hope that you have enjoyed the last six years as much as we have. Moreover we wish to see as many of you back on the field in 2011.

Love and Light
Konemetsä Crew”

DJ Orion – 323 (Chill-out mix for DJ Orkidea’s 23 hour event, 01.01.2010)

By OrionDownload, Download classic, Uncategorized9 Comments

Here’s a 323 minutes long chill-out mix, made for DJ Orkidea’s 23 hour set on 01.01.2010. The mix was recorded on 23th of December and the compiler (that’s me) has his birthday on the 23.2. Coincidence? ;)

BT watching 8,000 people in Finland dance.

By OrionUncategorizedNo Comments

: Image via Wikipedia

BT on Wired Magazine.

“I watched about 8,000 people in Finland dance to this piece of music,” BT said during the 30-minute interview. “And when it began to convolve from 4/4 to 6/8, I thought, ‘OK, here’s the moment where a wormhole eats the room or I wish that the floor would split in half and swallow me whole,’ but people understood intuitively how to move their bodies to it! It was so exciting for me to watch!”

I didn’t see 8,000 people there, but maybe that’s the American way to tell that story ;) I was exciting to watch, nevertheless. If you’re interested to hear more, here’s the full interview we recorded nearly one year ago when BT was planning the release of These Hopeful Machines.

Is this new Christina Aguilera?

By OrionUncategorized2 Comments

Even though it looks and sounds like Ladytron, they say this could be viral marketing of the upcoming Christina Aguilera’s album. If these really are clips of the tracks the album will contain, this is definitely an interesting move from Christina. Many people have said it can’t be, but there is some resemblance in Christina and the character on the video.

Some nerd had even realized that if you add up all of the numbers before a decimal and attach a letter to its corresponding number (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.) you’ll notice that each video has a distinct message:
Prelude 699130082.451322 = (38.17) = (CH.AG) = CH. AG.
9.1.13.669321018 = I. A. M. CH.
9.20.19.13.5.723378 = I.T.S.M.E.C.
