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. :)

One Sunday feedback

By UncategorizedOne Comment

“‘One Sunday’ is a beautiful ambient soundscape with eastern influences and stunning musicianship. This clutch of classy remixes cross the breaks, progressive house and progressive trance genres. The Beetseekers get pole position with their stunning Pet Shop Boys influenced club mix. Cid Inc lays down a minimal techy mix with big room production. Syna turn it a lush progressive breaks version which extracts the warm melodies from the original and weaves them into a classy percussive backdrop. Sami Saari cranks up the octane with his pounding string stab punctuated tech trance mix while Ville Lope rounds off this package with a phat bassline-driven deep melodic progressive trance mix.” –Solaris Recordings

The first round of feedback:

Paul van Dyk: Thanks!

Jono Grant (Above And Beyond): Interesting, will listen again

Markus Schulz: Loving this one

Ronski Speed (Euphonic): Nice beetseekers remix.

David West: I really like the original mix, it’s nice and deep and got that old school vibe

Mango: Really love the original mix, very emotional. as for remixes – cid inc is right up my alley, great work!

Fletch: The whole package is very strong, the original is a great chill out track and the Sami / Cid Inc remixes will get my support in sets.

Yves Eaux: Absolute fantastic package of electronic music!

Philip Belikov (Radio Records Russia): Very chill track ;) I like Beetseekers Remix

Loukas Pour-Hashemi (VMM Magazine): A very cool tune this, love the bassline and groove on the Sami Saari Magic Tuesday mix – definitely the one for me!

Clancy Bird (Kik FM – Australia): Absolutely beautiful! Everyone is a winner. Solid releases. Original is heavenly.

Igor Butckhrikidze (Invisible Sounds (Artist)): Original and Sami Saari Magic tuesday mix are cool… first one has great atmosphere and the second is nice groovy floorkilla

Haris C (Mix FM Cyprus): Really like them all!

Paul Nova (Power DJs): Fantastic, I like all the mixes and I will play in different situations the remixes, very good work!

Big Al: Lovin’ the energy from the Beetseekers Remix!!!

Steve Anderson (Radio DJ): Great feel to the Beetseekers Remix – supported

Zaneta Soroko: Great tunes, Sunday 3am Remix is excellent.

The second round of feedback:

Simon Barwood (Australian DJ): Wow, nice selection of mixes to choose from here! The Finnish sure now how to make good trance! Will definitely support. Thanks.

Matt Cerf: Liking the Sami remix

DJ Taucher: the orig is a super nice ambient piece to start and ore dream while listening, i definately need only the original track

Stevie Lost Foy (dancemuzik.com): smooth beautiful trance, instantly effective

Pedro Del Mar: Loving the chillin sounds of original mix

Shem Mccualy: 8/10 ville lope for me

Tom (Goldenscan): Great melodic trancer, how can it go wrong with those remixes?!? Keep up the good work

Mr Sam (Club DJ – France): all mixes are good but like more the Cid Inc remix.. will support.

Scott Bond: Liked the beetseekers remix the best I think :)

Tillman Uhrmacher: Very nice stuff! Thanks a lot! Will air it..

Matt Darey (DJ / Nocturnal Radio): Luscious!! Great stuff from DJ Orion

Ian Theil (99.7FM WVYC): Wow, how rare it is to get a promo pack this great. The original version of the song sucks to be honest. It just has no feeling. But god DAMN the remixes are on fire. The beetseekers remix is great, lots more energy and purpose. The sunday 3am and syna remixes are also mind blowing, melodic and progressive, epic tracks. The magic tuesday remix has some respectable bass, great for the dance floor. The sami saari remix is spunky and fun, with almost a latin clap to it, awesome. Tell DJ Orion to drop the “DJ” and just go by Orion, because this is a great track.

D:Fuse: Like the Original, Beetseekers, & Sami Sari Alt mix. Excellent use of melody.

Dimitri Kechagias (VIVA 95,3 fm – Greece): Impressive ambient original is pushed to the limit as it becomes an anthem with the help of some of the big players in the progressive scene. From that package cid inc/sami saari and ville lope should be my favourites and of course beatseekers with their psy trance influenced style. It will be radio supported and charted as it happens with all the solaris material. 10/10

Ali Wilson: Like the One Sunday [Sami Saari Alternative Mix], supporting early sets!

Hans Temmerman (Rotationz / The Mystic Force): Syna remix + original for me, heavenly production!

Mike Shiver: Loving The Sami Saari Remix!

YAZ (MPFS): Really liking both the Syna remix and also the Beatseekers on this – both will work brilliantly for my early sets. Gonna start my next Synthology show with the Syna remix.

Ken Spector: Beautiful melody! Definitely supporting.

D-Mark: I like especially the melody of these tracks. They provide a very interesting good vibe, perfect to use in the beginning of your sets. It’s definitely a great work!

Mark Eteson: Feeling the Sami Saari Magic Tuesday Mix, lovely groove to it!

Philippe Babin (DJ Preach): CID INC remix is just rocking. definitely supporting this one!

Mark Raybone (i:Vibes): Cool release, some great and diverse sounds from some very talented artists!

Micah Lukasewich: the cid inc and saari mixes are cool, but the beetseekers mix edges it with its nostalgic coolness

Heatbeat: beetseekrs remix!

Mike Dierickx (M.I.K.E): Cid Inc Sunday Rmx for me, cool prog electronic vibe

Vicky Devine: I like the different edge of the alternative mix

Marcus Schossow: Nice remixes from Cid Inc and Sami Saari !

Richard Durand to Helsinki 21.02.2009

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Richard Durand arrives to Clinic’s first anniversary party to freshly opened Bangkok Night at Helsinki centrum on 21.2.2009 (Facebook event here). During the past year, Clinic has been bringing some quality trance jocks like Above & Beyond and Menno De Jong to Helsinki and I think mr. Durand will be a perfect choice for the anniversary party: the tech-trance lovers will definitely get what they are expecting, but the Sundown remix of his bootleg hit of Skunk Anansie’s Weep (listen below) also proves his skills on a more proggy side.

I’ll be providing the warm-up beats for Richard and Poliisi will finish the evening after him with a psy-trancey set. See the full details below:

Chooned + afterparty in Turku

By UncategorizedNo Comments

This Saturday Chooned event hits Messukeskus, Turku. The event is among the biggest electronic music events organized in Turku area in years and with 16 Bit Lolitas, Sean Tyas and Agnelli & Nelson headlining it’s definitely one of the most interesting. Sound-wise the event looks very strong and I’m looking forward to hear 16 Bit Lolitas live. Their sound has evolved to more technoish direction which – in my opinion – hasn’t been only a good thing, but I’m sure also the new less uplifting tunes will be strong enough from a big PA system.

The main event starts already at 19:00 and goes on until 03. The Finnish lineup includes local Choon club resident Jussi Soro and promoter Nenna and my YleX colleague OlliS.

At 03:00 the party has a short break (thanks to Finnish legislation) and continues at 05:00 sharp in the centrum of Turku at Klubi. The afterparty is organized by LCS possé, who have been lately travelling around Finland with their club concept and several foreign prog talents.

I’ll be starting the afterparty with 1,5h set of trancey tunes and local heroes Homegrove, Progression, Ali King, Mick Elsa and DJ Seb will follow.

Looking very, very much forward to another Turku excursion.
