13.10.2009 Tiistain Tanssi-illan ensimmäisellä tunnilla kuullaan DJ Tiëston puhelinhaastattelu. Uuden levyn julkaisuun valmistautunut Tiësto saatiin kiinni Ukrainasta ja mies antoi mielenkiintoisia kommentteja Kaleidosope-levynsä lisäksi myös keikkarutiineistaan ja trancen nykytilasta.
Biisivieraana ensimmäisellä tunnilla on Suomeen 24.10. saapuva Andy Moor. AVA Recordingsia pyörittävä miekkonen kertoo biisivierasosuudessa kuulumisensa ja pyöräyttää tulevan julkaisun levymerkiltään.
Lisäksi maailmanensi-illassa Joonas Hahmon debyyttijulkaisu Break The SkyOxyd Recordsilla sekä Suomen ensisoitto Super8 & Tab -kaksikon uudesta Irufushi-sinkusta, uutta Ayleonia, viikon vinyyli, Shiloh-duon comeback-sinkku sekä uusi remiksi vanhasta Renaissance-hitistä Freefall – Skydive.
“I believe we should not be waging this war. I believe so not because I think copyright is unimportant. Instead, I believe in peace because the costs of this war wildly exceed any benefit, at least when you consider changes to the current regime of copyright that could end this war while promising artists and authors the protection that any copyright system is intended to provide.”
YleX Keskuskomitea will air tonight a one hour interview featuring DJ Proteus and me. The topics are about the current state and trends of electronic music in Finland – nothing too deep, but entertaining nevertheless :)
The interview will be broadcasted today 30.09.2009 on YleX at 21:00. Re-play will be on Sunday at 20:00. For those who prefer internet, Yle Areena will host the interview until 7.10.2009.

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!

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… :)
