Top Billin hakee uusia tuottajakykyjä

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Top Billin kirjoittaa:

“Tämä on pitänyt tehdä aikoja sitten mutta nyt sitten lähtee. Koska levyt tuntuu myyvän hyvin ulkomailla ja onhan se ihan aitoa julkaista mukana esim. amerikkalaisten dj’den matskua, mutta ei läheskään niin aitoa kuin kotimaisten, joten päätettiin tehdä yksi EP johon pyydetään mukaan ihan ketä vaan Suomesta, kunhan biisi on hyvä.
Ideana olisi lähinnä se, että on porukkaa jotka tekee biisejä mutta julkaisu puuttuu niin nyt olisi mahdollisuus. Eli uutta verta kehiin.”

Demot liikkeelle. Hop!

Short chatter with Nick Warren

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Jack 21.03.2009 poster

Oded from Misc. had a short chat with Nick Warren, who’s visiting Jack club in Helsinki this weekend. Read the latest news and thoughts below.

Hey Nick ! You are almost here with us again… How do you feel about coming to Helsinki this weekend ?
“I always love coming to Helsinki, the clubs and crowds there are always fantastic and as I have a Finnish girlfriend it almost feels like home”

You are playing at Redrum, the countries leading underground venue. Any expectations?
“I went there last year to see Loco Dice and really liked the place so can’t wait to spin there”

What’s the most fun you have had in Finland ?
“Petra and I rented a summer cottage a couple of years ago, I loved the peace and beauty of Finland”

Global Underground Lima is your 8th GU compilation… Which one of the eight is your personal favorite ?
“I think Lima is my best one so far, I am very happy with it”

Who would you like to see doing a Global Underground ? (someone that still hasn’t)
“I would love to hear a Gui Boratto GU album, I am a big fan of his work”

The amount of music out there is bigger then ever. But there are still only 24 hours a day. Do you think you listen to more music today, than let’s say 10 years ago ?
“Much more, especially as so much comes via the internet and you can listen at your laptop”

We hear the new Way Out West album is almost done… What was your goal, when planning the album ?
“The album should be finished by the time I come to Helsinki! Jody and I are very pleased with the way it sounds, it ranges from chillout to techno and has some male vocals. I will play some of the tracks at Redrum”

You have practically travelled the whole world. If you ever retire, where would you settle down ?
“I would love to live the in England for part of the year and in Finland in the summer”

Biisivierasosuudessa kuullaan kiertuekuulumiset sekä tietysti uutta soundia Tomcraftilta itseltään.

Lisäksi Tanssi-illassa Richard Durand, 16 Bit Lolitas, Michael Cassette, Heikki L, Mark Knight, Syna, Claes Rosen, Lifelike ja Ron van den Beuken sekä musauutiset.

Tom Middleton to Finland

By In English, UncategorizedNo Comments

One of my all-time favourite DJs, Tom Middleton, arrives to Helsinki on 12.6.2009.

Not only is Tom the man behind Cosmos, but also responsible of amazing “Lifetracks” chill-out album and “Global Communication” works, both of them just timeless. But it’s house music he’s playing, and what comes to that, his Renaissance 3D compilation and The Sound of the Cosmos are worth checking. Really looking forward to this.

Tom Middleton @ Tahko club, Ahjo, Helsinki. 12.06.2009.

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!

VIRTUAL FACTORY 13
FRIDAY 13.3.2009 // 22 – 04 // K18 // 8€ // Royal Bar’n’Night //Vaasa

LINEUP:

VIRTUAL FACTORY
Jangler // DJ Orion // K-System

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
Winnie P // Ville Vähäsaari // Klaus K //

VIRTUAL LOUNGE
C.Winter // Båssanova // Kenth // Zakka // Lector

Tickets 8/6€ – Presale @ Anttila TopTen, Hovioikeudenpuistikko 16, Vaasa

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

By UncategorizedNo Comments

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”…
