Tiistain Tanssi-illan ensimmäisellä tunnilla 31.3. biisivieraana kuullaan Colors-klubin ja -festivaalin isäntä Alex Kunnaria. Kunnari on lyönyt läpi tranceDJinä lukuisten hittien myötä, joista Suomessa muistetaan varmimmin miehen soolodebyytti Lifter. Kunnarin biisivierasosuudella kuullaan radioensi-iltansa saava vastavalmistunut uusi vokaaliraita Eternity.
Lisäksi Tanssi-illassa huima Oulu-edustus, mukana Sami Saari, Synan Timo Juuti ja Mashtronic-kokoonpanosta soolouralle ponkaissut Cid Inc. Ulkomaalaissoundia edustavat mm. Proff, Mango, Jay Lumen, Arno Cost ja Daniel Kandi. Näiden lisäksi kuullaan tuttuun tapaan viikon vinyyli sekä musauutiset.
Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

This is nice.
“YleXPop-tapahtuma järjestetään tänä vuonna kaupunkifestarina. Toukokuun lopussa Helsingin keskustassa järjestettävä kaksipäiväinen festari sisältää kolme klubia ja yhden ilmaiskonsertin.
YleX Popin klubikeikat järjestetään perjantai- ja lauantai-iltoina 29. ja 30. toukokuuta Nosturissa ja Bar Loosessa. Lisäksi perjantaina ohjelmistossa on Nolla-klubi, jossa levyjä pyörittävät YleX.n Tiistain tanssi-iltojen dj:t Jori Hulkkonen, DJ Orion ja OlliS.
Lauantaipäivänä 30. toukokuuta Lasipalatsin aukiolla pidetään ilmaiskonsertti, jossa nähdään Samae Koskinen & Hänen Taikabändinsä, Risto, The Capital Beat ja uuden Kesäkumibiisin esittäjä. Konsertin juontavat YleX:n Marja Hintikka ja Ile Uusivuori.
– YleXPop täyttää tänä keväänä viisi vuotta ja pienen piristyksen sijaan päätimme tehdä tapahtuman kokonaan uudella tavalla. Aikana jolloin yleisöt pirstaloituvat pieni on kaunista – yhden massakonsertin sijaan on parempi tehdä jotakin pienille yleisöille. Tämä tukee myös kanavan perusajatusta olla monipuolinen ja ajankohtainen, YleX:n kanavapäällikkö Satu Keto-Kantele sanoo.
YleXPop -keikkoja voi seurata suorana YleX:n nettisivuilla osoitteessa ylex.fi, kännykällä YleX:n mobiilipalvelujen kautta tai kuunnella radiosta. Tapahtuman klubikeikat on tuotettu yhteistyössä Live Nationin kanssa, ja esiintyjävalikoima täydentyy vielä kevään aikana.
YleXPop järjestetään nyt viidennen kerran. Aikaisempina vuosina Helsingin Kaisaniemessä on järjestetty iso ilmaiskonsertti.”

Happy news. After my debut release One Sunday, the next release is already in sight. Russia-based artist Mango had heard Brotherhood and asked me and my brother to remix his next track, Raining in Osaka. I felt really priviledged as Mango is one of my favourite progressive house artists with absolutely fantastic soundscapes, very fragile and incredibly beautiful tracks. I really recommend checking his work if you haven’t already.
During the past weekend, before and after the latest One event, my brother and I put together Raining in Osaka chill-out remix, which I still tweaked on in Helsinki. After I played the first version to Mango, the things changed a bit and we ended up making a collab track of the original version, too. This original mix among the remixes will be out in late April 2009 and the chill-out version will see the daylight in October 2009 on Mango Alley Recordings sampler. The full length chill-out remix can be heard above.

“Tampere-fiilis” was a late 90’s phenomena in Tampere, purely born in local trance events when melodic trance was at its peak and rave culture enjoyed high popularity. I remember events like Taika ’98 in which people were dancing spontaniously hand-in-hand, club Tunnel with Coma and 3.14Sami spinning in an old, small rock club to 200+ clubbers every second Thursday, everybody going mental. I hope I haven’t become cynical when claiming that nearly a decade has passed in Tampere without any similar feeling of regular PLUR ;)
ONE has succeeded in something that felt like an impossible task a couple of years ago. It seemed that you couldn’t attract any audience without bringing bigger and bigger foreign acts even though it was just the fun and good atmosphere people were after. Saturday night at Tanssitalo, with hundreds and hundreds of people going insane and a lineup consisting of only former and current Tampere talents proved that you don’t need any foreign acts to get loose. Just a club full of your best friends and a long lost Tampere-fiilis :)
After a night like that, I can’t wait to get back to Tanssitalo. See you at the next One, on 30.5.2009.
Joni shot some amazing photos, check them all on his Flickr account or click the photos around this post.

New One Sunday reactions and feedback are out from Matt Cerf, DJ Taucher, Goldenscan, Mr.Sam, Matt Darey, Marcus Schossow and many more. Check all the feedback.
After the winter break, One returns this weekend at Tampere’s Tanssitalo. With Joonas Hahmo and Poliisi headlining and me and Flight taking care of the regular One sounds, it sounds like a good start to 2009. One is having only two events this spring in Tanssitalo, the second being the official summer starter on 30.5.2009. On that day Tampere will go trancey in the hands of a Armada talent from Denmark and another bunch of domestic jocks. But first – looking forward to see you this Saturday! (See the Facebook event.)
And yes, as the headline promises, here’s a 60min mix of One anthems of the upcoming spring season. We are One family.
