A couple of new techno related articles and flyers are now online (in Finnish only, sorry).
Here’s a very funny article of Jay Mellin, Kaasi and me (with The Beatles hairstyle ;) visiting Sotkamo,
The legendary warehouse rave in Tampere,
Clubbin’ Helsinki article from the Finnair magazine
and Eliot Ness referred as “juoppohullu naistensankari Helsingistä” on the Ever flyer, 2001
See all the flyers and articles.
The Tampere’s finest, One event, has now a Facebook group.

Full MiscBehaving info on Facebook and Klubitus. Remember to check Misc Group on Facebook, too. That’s where the party is.

Australian Jaytech is coming to Finland this autumn.
If I would need to mention my TOP3 nu-sound producers today, the list would definitely contain Jaytech. The young Australian wizard has just released his amazing debut album “Everything is OK” and has been named as Above&Beyond’s favourite warm-up DJ on their tours. His new tracks like Pepe’s Garden and Groove Nova and older like Genesis and Tomorrow as well as the joint productions with Matt Rowan are such a bliss to hear and play. His sound influences today’s progressive house and trance strongly (check his podcast) and I can guess this is just the start, according to his Inthemix interview.
Jaytech is currently touring all around the world and finally landing to Finland this October. It’s a moment not-to-miss.

We’re borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the planet. Every bit of that’s got to change. Today I challenge our nation to commit to producing 100 percent of our electricity from renewable energy and truly clean carbon-free sources within 10 years.

Konemusiikin tekemisessä ei tarvitse tietää mitään musiikista tai ainakin sen parissa pärjää ilman erityistä vaivannäköä. Niinpä se kuulostaakin kylmältä ja tunteettomalta.
Helsingin yliopiston studioamanuenssi Kai Lassfolk myöntää konemusiikin syntyvän sananmukaisesti nappia painamalla, vaan ei välttämättä sen helpommin kuin muukaan musiikki.

YleX TV interviewed Justice at Provinssi Rock. Now viewable.
On the festival, Serj Tankian was also surprisingly good – and not surprisingly, YleX interviewed him, too.
The wait is over. Provinssi Rock 2008 offered Finland Justice’s first live set. Justice had gotten a gig offer for the same date from the States, but they refuse playing in the daylight. Because the gig before Radiohead would have been open air, they rather came to Finland where X-Stage tent granted enough darkness for the show.
I was nearly as excited of seeing Justice live as I was when waiting Underworld to appear on stage in Helsinki a year (or two?) ago.
It was awesome. I had seen a couple of videos of their performances, but I had never realized that those Marshall amplifiers are actually light effects and don’t contain any sound components. Very cool effect when they turned them on.
Justice started with Genesis, played the through the obvious hits (DVNO, D.A.N.C.E, We Are Your Friends), introduced two or three new, very strong tracks, played AUTO remix of Stress, mashed-up version of Phantom and finished the 1h 15min set with their version of Metallica’s Master of Puppets including samples from “The Party“.
The sound was very clear and even pretty low in the beginning. But even the sound pressure was low there was definitely a nice amount pressure on the audience, especially on the first rows. Young people totally drunk and with “rock attitude” made sure there were enough elbows to dodge. You could clearly feel you were on a festival and not on a 22-years-and-up club. Maybe I’m just getting old (or never quite gotten the rock festival glamour thing), but I enjoy more concentrating on the music than trying to stay on my feet when the band is on the stage.
However, Justice played a very charismatic live set and being there was a truly cool experience. If you have a possibility of seeing Justice live, just go for it – they are even better than what you have heard.
P.S. If you’re interested, here are a couple of ProvinssiRock cameraphone photos.
Oh, of course YouTube had a video of the Master of Puppets remix:
Beatportal is writing about Top 10 iPhone tricks for DJs.
Pete Tong’s Fast Trax show has Bedroom Bedlam Chart section which introduces three tracks from bedroom producers. The biggest tracks can be signed to Bedroom Bedlam label. This week Bedroom Bedlam Chart includes a summer filter house track from Tampere, Finland: Flight & Jontey – Sangria. Support the Finnish talents and give your vote. No registration needed for voting.
Funny coindidence: While I’m writing this I end up reading that Peter Gabriel thinks internet has a bad influence on music (article in Finnish). Right…
Anyway, congratulations to Flight & Jontey – No doubt you’ll hear Sangria on the next (24.6.) Tiistain Tanssi-ilta, too.
