Chill-out moment of the week: Keramick & Lobo

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Keramick & Lobo have just released their new album “The Braille” on Exogenic Records and it has gotten quite good reviews everywhere. I got a possibility to pre-listen the album and it sounds really, really awesome. I already hyped on Twitter Tokyo Boulevard’s upcoming album to be the chill-out album of the year, but this one doesn’t fall far from the top spot either, even though several tracks could be rather described as electronica than chill-out. Anyway, Finnish chill-out is doing well at the moment :)

Keramick & Lobo – The Braille is out on iTunes & Beatport. Check the video below.

ONE returns this Saturday

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Already One year old, but still fresh concept “One” returns from the long summer break on Saturday at Tampere’s Tanssitalo. This is the first time I can’t attend One due to my happily changed family situation, but if you happen to be nearby, I strongly recommend to check out one of the coolest atmospheres and venues Tampere has seen in a while.

The lineup is short but superb: DJ Orkidea will be playing his only gig in Tampere in 2009 at One and spending full six hours behind the decks. I still remember Metaverse-tour visiting Tampere as one of the highlights of the Orkidea’s album release tour and the latest visit at One with Solarstone didn’t lack any superlatives :)

Joili did an awesome trailer for the event, check it out here or below.

New kid on the block!

By UncategorizedNo Comments

New kid on the block

New kid on the block! Amazing and happy news. Last Saturday, 29.08.2009 my dear wife Melanie gave birth to a healthy and small baby boy, our first one. The first days together have been really, really unforgettable and magical – they don’t say in vain that getting a baby changes everything.

We haven’t decided a name yet, but Armin van Wendland is not in the top of the list (thanks for the suggestions, anyway… ;) and despite the subject, we try to avoid Jordan, Jon, Joe, Donnie and Danny, too.

Big thanks to everyone sending your congratulations and greetings. These are the happiest days of our life :)

Tiistain Tanssi-ilta 01.09.2009: biisivieras Ayleon

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Ayleon - promotional photo

Tiistain Tanssi-illan ensimmäisen tunnin Biisivieraana 01.09.2009 kuullaan seinäjokelaisen Ayleon-duon mietteitä. Omaperäisten ja valtavirrasta erottuvien trance-remixien myötä komeasti huomiota saanut kaksikko kertoo viimeisimmät kuulumiset studiolta ja pyöräyttää radioensi-illassa uuden kappaleensa Lost Sign.

Tanssi-illan ensimmäisellä tunnilla lisäksi tuoreita versioita Rui Da Silvan, Cassiuksen, Mylon ja Arno Costin hiteistä sekä psy-trance -näkemys Jean Michel Jarren Oxygene-klassikosta. Lisäksi ranskahousea Fred Falkelta, ruotsisoundia Laidback Lukelta ja tuttuun tapaan viikon vinyyli, tällä kertaa trancen kultaiselta vuodelta 1998.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

DJ Orion & J.Shore – Goodbye Earth EP

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Here’s a preview of our brand new chill-out EP, called “Goodbye Earth”. It’s cinematic, melancholic and full of memories of the past summer, exactly how we prefer our chill-out music :)

My brother J.Shore made some amazing and hard work here with recording live strings + winds for the first track “Your Highness” and the second, “Deep Blue”. All the tracks were made during June 2009 in Tampere and finalized in Germany one month later.

Brotherhood signed to Lost Language

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Lost Language logo

Happy news. The legendary trance label, Lost Language, has signed my second single Brotherhood.

I’m really excited of the possibility of getting Brotherhood released on that particular label. It’s one of my all-time favourite trance labels which released amazing tunes already in the early 2000. The label was originally a parent label of Hooj Choons and led by Ben Lost, but it works independently today.

Some of my personal Lost Language highlights are Solarstone’s Seven Cities, Salt Tank’s Eugina, Barraka’s Song To A Siren, Lustral’s Broken, Midway’s Monkey Forest, Tilt’s The World Doesn’t Know and many, many more.

DJ Orion & J.Shore – Brotherhood will be out in November 2009 on Lost Language including remixes from Ayleon, Flight & Jontey, DJ Taucher and Anton Sonin. Listen to the clips and read more.

Dave Seaman – the last compilation?

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Interesting thoughts about compilation making from Dave Seaman:

“So, after several painstaking weeks, the endurance test that was the making of my new mix CD is finally over. Yes, my 26th compilation, Renaissance Masters Series Volume 14 is finished and due for release on September 28th but to be honest, I think it may well be my last. It’s such a time consuming process these days, dogged by licensing issues and digital rights restrictions, not to mention the fact that trying to make an album four months in advance that still feels ‘new’ when it’s released is increasingly difficult. Consequently, the allure of just doing regular free podcasts grows ever more appealing. But we shall see. For now, I’m just enjoying the fact that this one is done. I hope you enjoy it too.”
