Despite of everything what I heard about the comfort of playing at Uniq, the sound was pretty good after all. Ok, I have to admit that I had to have the monitors awfully loud to be able to be 100% sure of what I was doing. Better located monitor speakers would do a lot for that place from the DJ’s point of view. Anyway – the place was more crowded than on earlier wednesdays and music wasn’t that trance as I expected. Matthew Heath and Anton Sonin kept playing pretty housey material before me, so I delayed playing the progressive/trance tracks, too and chose a bit more electroish start.
Thanks to Tommi and other Supercool posse.

AllofMP3, the notorious Russian music-selling site, has lost its Visa account and says it will switch to giving away free, ad-supported music. The site claims that its activities are legal under Russian law. Though it may not be legal under other countries’ laws for their citizens to download the music, AllOfMP3 says it has a blanket license to sell the music and no obligation to figure out what the laws are in each of its customers’ jurisdictions.

IS THERE A RECORD COMPANY THAT IS NOT EVIL?
By: John Buckman, CEO and Founder, Magnatune (www.magnatune.com)
Monday October 23rd at 19:00 – 20:30
Kulttuuritehdas Korjaamo
Töölönkatu 51B, Helsinki (www.korjaamo.fi)
John Buckman isn’t afraid to point out what’s wrong with the music industry. Hit-driven radio is boring.CDs cost too much, and artists only get 20 cents to a dollar for each CD sold.Online sales (such as on Amazon.com) often cost the artist 50% of their already-pathetic royalty. Record labels lock their artists into legal agreements that hold them for a decade or more.Napster, Gnutella and Kazaa proved that people love music, and they want to share it – butthe entrenched record industry wants to kill P2P and internet radio.
“Magnatune is my project. The goal is to find a way to run a record label in the Internet Reality: file trading, Internet Radio, musicians’ rights, the whole nine-yards“, Buckman explains. Unlike regular record companies thatshare a percentage of their profit with artists, Magnatune shares a full 50% of the licensing, cdsales, and merchandise revenue (not profit) with the artists.
“I thought: why not make a record label that has a clue? That helps artists get exposure, make at least as much money they would make with traditional labels, and help them get fans and concerts.” Come and hear Buckman describe his vision of a record company that is not evil and discuss the earning model for Magnatune’s opencontent distribution.

Dandelife finally made possible to create private timelines. It’s been a great service, but the lack of this feature has kept me from registering. Now I’m a happy user, writing down my lifeline – privately.
365 is an interesting project really worth starting. Basically it’s about taking one photo per day and creating an album which has 365 photos. Beyond that, it’s a lot more. Let’s see how far I’ll get.
Seti@Home was a big thing some years ago. Now a small program called Boinc connects Seti@Home to other similar projects such as Einstein, Rosetta and climateprediction.net. Nice program to use your computer’s idle time in a good way.

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.
Ismo shot some really nice photos => http://koti.mbnet.fi/ismolass/Lick_6.10/
How about surprising your boy/girlfriend and using the salaries of this month for buying the Technics SL1200 bling edition!

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)
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.
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! ;)
