Lick! at NiteTrain, Rovaniemi

By GigsNo Comments

The new club opening in Rovaniemi was just mad. Sold out party and very, very nice atmosphere. I played a bit more melodic and electronic house and Milla Lehto finished the night nicely with rough breaks. As the last track of my set, Miika Kuisma & Mr.A – Honey (Heikki Liimatainen remix) did some very serious damage. Mad tune.

Spinni’s 10-year anniversary event was all you could expect from the Tampere-fiilis revival which has been going on for a while now already. The party was well organized and I’ve never seen I-Klubi so well decorated (except at MIR club in ’99 when FuFu organization boys used a hell of amount of black garbage bags to make the club totally black from the floor to the ceiling). Especially the smoke machine was well installed (see the photo below)

Two demons

The amount of audience really surprised me and the variety of clubbers was the greatest challenge of the night: Basically only few people knew the oldskool “hits” and the most were pretty confused of Aphex Twin’s Polynomial C as the set starter. But then again – those who had come to the event to hear the music from the past 10 years didn’t expect to hear the latest progressive house/trance tracks. The result was some sort of fusion of those two: old tracks combined to fresh releases. Check the tracklist here.

Nie wieder!

The afterparty was great, too. It was really refreshing to see a new underground venue in Tampere and jump into an afterparty where the music consisted mostly of techno – especially Hexe blew off the roof with his 3-deck set. Mad. Just like at Pinninkatu back in the day! ;)

Zero7 & YouTube & Copyrights

By In English, MusicNo Comments

This just tells so well how different points of view artists and major labels can have towards copyright.

Zero7 just told on their MySpace page that they’ve registered to YouTube and have some of their music videos online. They are asking people to post their recordings from Zero7’s gigs, some covers and maybe cover music videos, too:

“For those of you who might not know, Zero 7 have their own YouTube page.
You can watch the band’s videos on there and if you upload your own Zero 7 videos onto YouTube, then it could appear on the page.
They could be videos you’ve recorded at gigs, or even your own cover versions!”

I wonder what Universal, Sony BMG and other major labels would say about that. At the moment Universal is telling that YouTube owns them millions of dollars due to these kinds of copyright infringements.
I think any artist would consider a possibility to see their music videos on the Internet for free as a very good and very cheap promotion and not as a baad, bääd copyright infringement.

This goes back to Finnish copyright laws, too. As I’ve earlier told, it’s basically illegal to rip your own vinyls to CDRs and play them on gigs. I wonder how many electronic music artists would really deny a possibility to rip their old records which aren’t available as MP3s and bring them to life again.

It might be it’s because I’m not a recording artist, but I really do not see any good in the way big copyright companies are working – from the marginal music style’s point of view, at least.
Killing a possibility to define your own ways of promotion does not do any good for the record and copyright companies – it just harms the artist. And I want to believe they are going to find it out when it’s too late. That would do good for them.

Trust no copies. This is the real thing.

Let’s post these when we still can. Universal and other major labels are planning to sue YouTube due to spreading copyrighted material. That’s just like… shooting yourself to foot.
