Several people have been asking me about podcasting and the technical solutions behind DJ Orion’s podcast. There are no hardcore coding mysteries or science fiction involved, so here’s a short tutorial about setting up your own podcast.
I realized there are very few good tutorials about podcasting on the net. Most of them tell how you can record your very first podcast, but I’m assuming you know how to record audio on your computer if you’ve read this far :)
OK, here we go.
Hybridistä hybridiin
Tiistain tanssi-illassa on luvassa 19.2. kaksikin spesiaalituntia.
Eteläwalesilainen Hybrid on rikkonut ja asettanut uusiksi elektronisen tanssimusiikin rajapyykkejä modernin progressiivisen breakbeatin ja klassisen musiikin yhdistelmällään. Lähes 300 omaa kappaletta ja remixiä tuottaneen duon uraan ja sen viime käänteisiin perehdytään DJ Orionin osuudella klo 21.
Speed garage oli reilut 10 vuotta sitten brittitanssimusiikin uusin keksintö, josta juontuivat UK garageksi, 4/4 houseksi ja lopulta grimeksikin kutsutut urbaanit klubigenret. Nyt speed garage on tekemässä paluuta uudessa muodossa ja nimellä bassline house. Jos tyylien ja termien kirjo pökerryttää, niin selventäviä esimerkkejä sekä vanhasta että uudesta soittaa DJ Infekto omassa klo 23 starttaavassa spesiaalissaan.
Helsinkiläinen, nuorille aikuisille suunnattu paikallisradioasema Bassoradio, on aloittanut yhteistyön energiajuomayhtiö Red Bullin kanssa. Yhteistyö liittyy Red Bull Music Academy -nimiseen kansainväliseen tapahtumaan, joka on on dj:lle ja elektronisen musiikin tuottamisesta kiinnostuneille henkilöille suunnattu kaksiviikkoinen, vapaamuotoinen kurssi.

The guys at Beatport have gotten a beta version of Pacemaker. The video shows the basic functions and unpacking.
When you’re doing club events and clubbing as a lifestyle, hobby and work at some point you just lose big amount of the enthusiasm of going out and to the clubs. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still very nice and enjoyable, but you’re lacking the excitingness.
The Tullikamari raves in Tampere in ’94-’96 and Love Parade in ’99 were fantastic experiences for a young teenage boy, but I haven’t had a similar huge emotion rush in a party too many times ever since.
Well, Pacifique had it all. The exciting and nostalgic boom in your chest, anxious waiting to get there and a pure and energetic feeling of happiness. I had heard about the uplifting water splashing at the main arena, but that and several other details are just something you can’t describe if you haven’t been there yourself.
It was a totally unique concept well executed. I’m happy of getting the possibility of being there last night.
Here’s the tracklist of the From Rural To Urban style chill-out set from the sauna area.

The UNEP estimates there are 46,000 pieces of marine debris for every square mile of all the world’s oceans. […] Able to last indefinitely in seawater, plastics will continue to plague the Eastern Pacific long after new solutions have been adopted on land.
Altered Oceans multimedia article on L.A. Times. If you view only one video, let it be the second video of Part 4.
We really do not understand the amount of trash we produce. Chris Jordan tries to make it visible and understandable, though.
We are really raping this planet like there’s no tomorrow.
This must be one of the scariest websites I’ve seen in a long time. It tells about the life after the oil crash. Meaning when we have no more oil to rely on. Which will be pretty soon. The website just gives no hope at all.
This is “Energy Curve” of the history.
Soon, actually very soon we will run out of oil and return to the state of energy consumption which was happening before the 1920’s. But it won’t be like in the 1920’s because there are like three times more people in the world now and our society is totally dependent on oil. It will be catastrophic.
I totally recommend this website – take a moment and browse it through: Peak Oil – Life After The Oil Crash
Have you ever thought with which machines the famous synth sounds, drums and loops were created?
Check through the Synthmania site and you’re much wiser.
Thanks to Skasi!
That’s the cool thing about Logic. You can make it wasy for yourself and use all the presets and settings, or you can go into it and create something that sounds unique and special.
Paul van Dyk speaks about Apple, Logic and his work.
A very interesting weekend coming up.
On Friday Kuudes Linja will host the first Jack event of this year. I can’t say if it’s also the last before the summer – Orkidea’s tour, of which I wrote earlier, is taking loads of time and we’ll see if there’s enough time for April’s Jack event.
Anyway, Jack has a very nice lineup this time. I’ll be playing the warmup hours together with Orkidea, Erkko will take care of the peak hour and Juju will finish the night. Big variety of electronic house music will be served.
Jack is also the official pre-party of Pacifique, tickets only 4e with Pacifique advance ticket. Leave your swimsuits home for Saturday, though :)
On Saturday Pacifique will break loose at Serena Waterpark in Espoo. The line-up is massive including Jaakko Salovaara [JS16], Lowland piano concert, Kalle Miettinen [Dancemob Classics], Lil’ Tony [Redrum] & Tomi K [Ihana] feat. Stiliana, Danceteria All Stars: Mr A, Heikki L & Miika Kuisma feat. Max C and many more.
I’ll be playing an exotic chill-out set in the “From Rural To Urban” style in the sauna area of Serena. Thinking about the location I guess it won’t be that chilled out, after all… ;) But definitely it’s a good and welcome change after all those freezing winter outdoor gigs in the north.
See you on the weekend!

I finally managed to upload the Mind Records catalog from 1996, which has been rotting on my archive drive for years already.
Do you still remember when you used to order the records browsing catalogs like this? You phoned to the shop and asked them to play you records you probably would like. And the guy in the shop left the phone next to the speaker and put the record on. And then you made your decision.
Boy, those were the times… We really rarely think how easy acquiring music has gotten. I should really remember that next time I’m whining about some bad user interface or slow connections on some random mp3 shop.
