Virtual Factory this weekend

By In English, UncategorizedNo Comments

I’m heading to Vaasa this weekend – and strangely – I’ve never been there before. During the wild years of early 2000 the hard dance and trance scenes were vital both in Seinäjoki and Vaasa, but I never had a chance to witness the legendary Papinnenä atmosphere.

Virtual Factory 13 article, City Magazine, March 2009

Virtual Factory is already the 13th annual event held in Vaasa and has lots of good publicity in the media. Local City Magazine writes about the event and  University Student Mag, as well the Giga website cover it well, too.

I’m really looking forward to the event, the lineup and preparations look strong and what comes to all the emails I’ve received, it seems the promoters are also über-nice and very professional.

I’m sharing the stage with K-System, with whom I had plenty of fun a couple of weeks ago in Hämeenlinna’s PushUp event and Jangler, who is a long-time friend from Northern Finland times. He kept Ylivieska.org running there for years and held some amazing parties in the Ylivieska/Kalajoki area.

Here are the event details. See you soon!

Pacifique Lumière, this Saturday

By UncategorizedNo Comments

One of the most awaited events of the year is at hands. Pacifique is one day of summer in the middle of the coldest winter and probably one of those nights people will remember for years.

It was my first time last year to see all of it, and boy, was I excited :)

For those who hear about Pacifique for the first time: it’s a 2000 people party, held once a year at Serena, the biggest in-door spa in Northern Europe. Five stages and whole variety of electronic music and electronica. Sold out in less than a month this year.

In 2009, Pacifique will also see its first foreign guest, Alfredo, the godfather of Ibiza house. It’s the same guy who inspired the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway back in the day and was the one to start the spirit of Ibiza people are still enjoying today. Really looking forward to see the guy in action.

Misc. will take care of artist coordination, so no getting loose (at least as much as last time:), but this is still one of the highlights of this year, needless to say. I’m also playing a one hour chill-out set at the saunas in a familiar From Rural To Urban spirit, starting at 22:30. Join in and get a good löyly or two :) (and if you’re interested, check the tracklist from last year)

Prodigy suggests Youtube guidelines

I’m really not sure if this is a vice move. Telling the people on internet that “this is uncool, please don’t do it” won’t prevent most of them from doing it. It even might provoke some to do exactly those things. Especially, if one carries a nickname “WebSheriff”…

Flow & Kraftwerk

By UncategorizedNo Comments

“Kaikkien aikojen vaikutusvaltaisin elektroyhtye Kraftwerk esiintyy Helsingin Suvilahdessa torstaina 13.8. Flow Festivalin ja Live Nationin tuottama konsertti toteutetaan Flow Festivalin päälavalla festivaaliviikonlopun aattona.

Ensimmäisen albuminsa vuonna 1970 julkaissut saksalainen Kraftwerk on toiminut suunnannäyttäjänä erityisesti elektronisen musiikin varhaiskehityksessä. Myyttisen saksalaisyhtyeen diskografia sisältää useita yli genrerajojen tunnustettuja klassikkoalbumeita. Erityisesti Man Machine, Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express ja Computer World toimivat edelleen kiintopisteinä yhä useampaan suuntaan versoavan elektronisen musiikin kartalla.

Tapahtuman myötä debyyttinsä saa myös Flow Festivalin uudistunut, entistä suurempi ja yleisöystävällisempi päälava-alue.”

Justice designs a coke bottle

By UncategorizedNo Comments

“The bottle comes in a red colorway and features the Do The Dance By Justice And So_Me slogan. At night the bottle will show its real feature – it glows in the dark.”

I guess Justice won’t have any money problems in a while after this deal…
Not that they would’ve had anyway. :)
