Seems it wasn’t enough that House Nation was reborn – now they are bringing back Planet of Love!
Planet of Love’95 was one of the most magical events ever – let’s see what they are making out of this one…
Feel free to tune in to Bassoradio frequency today at 18-20 Finnish time. Also web stream available.
The excuse for the lack of blog posts is that we’ve been busy with Misc2.0, the update of Misc Management website. The update is not yet there, but we’re getting closer every day…
And now a small teaser – it’s going to be very orange.
…uh …and besides that there’s also an updated supercool artist roster, new photos from various events, loads of mixes, brand new biographies, charts etc etc. Loads of interesting stuff to read anyways.
I started an automated blog entry via del.icio.us today. Every evening before midnight the recommended links of the day should be posted to the blog and all that – *drumfill* – automatically. What a wonderful world of the web.
But seriously – I have so little time during the day to post any interestingness here, but putting that to del.icio.us is just one click away. So these automatic posts should also sum up where I’ve (virtually) been during the day.
If you’re into any kind of chill-out/ambient music, I highly recommend you to check out the latest album of General Fuzz, called Messy’s Pace.
The album is completely free. >> General Fuzz’s website.

For a flyer freak like me, it was fun to get a copy of Club Unity’s latest flyer. The flyer itself is a DVD disk which contains a video of Unity’s past – 10 years of parties.
If you can’t get a copy of the DVD itself, there’s always a possibility to download the video in Quicktime format >> Club Unity 10 Year Anniversary Video.
Oh, it seems to be in YouTube as well. (Thanks, Niko)
Have you ever read Moby’s blog? Take a while, you won’t be disappointed.
Meanwhile, Miika Kuisma’s guest mix has been podcasted. Listen it through while wandering inside Moby’s head. Here’s the tracklist:

Podcast information here.
As always, we’re happy to announce the next Guest-DJ on Orion’s podcast: Despite being extremely busy with launching the new Danceteria label and making various tracks and remixes, Miika Kuisma somehow still had time to put together a very nice 45min progressive trance guest mix for the podcast.
To get it, make sure you’re subscribed – the instructions are here. The mix will be casted at latest tomorrow evening. Stay tuned…
As the update of Misc website still takes a while, here are some nice news from theee HeadQuarters ;)
First of all, Misc Management will from now on be taking care of the bookings of David West – a warm welcome to the artist roster :) The guy is simply amazing on- and off-stage – I guess anyone who visited [reiv:] Season Ending last Friday could tell that. David also proved how flexible he is by flying to Finland to replace Jody Wisternoff (who cancelled) with a super short notice of less than four hours.
And then – the main man of Misc, Oded Peled is warming up Underworld on their gigs in Tallinn and Riga. A very nice possibility to promote his excellent upcoming Underwater label releases. And – in case you didn’t know – warm-up set for Underworld’s gig in Finland will be played by DJ Orkidea.
Flickr finally started to support geotagging in an easy way. Also users seem to be quite happy about it – during the first 24 hours 1,234,384 photos were geotagged according to Flickr blog.
But (There’s always a “but”).
We’re not living in America and Flickr doesn’t use Google Maps but Yahoo Maps instead. This combination is not too good if you’re willing to geotag your photos manually to a certain street in Helsinki – or any other city in Finland. You just can’t zoom in, there’s no information available. Yahoo Maps is too far behind if you compare it to the Google Maps.
But still – despite the inaccuracy – it’s quite fascinating to browse through the photos on the map. Take a look:
Geotagged Flickr photos in Helsinki or in Oulu or how about southern New Zealand..
Platinum Forums has a very nice collection of Finnish flyers online. Starting from 1993 and going all the way to the latest flyers, the collection offers an unique view to the visual culture around electronic music in Finland.

A remix of Tilt’s “I Dream” got nearly finished last weekend. Here’s a short clip of what’s coming up next:
Tilt – I Dream (DJ Orion remix)
Snare Rush Collage.
Weird collage of clips and videos from the past…
You got to love this YouTube-quality… :P Here’s a link to a better quality mp4-file => download (38mb).
And finally a peek to the iTunes Music Folder.
Quite a nice way to present one’s musical taste in a visual way.
Kosmo had a good point while commenting the previous post, but how can you enjoy networking in a place where every third click brings you an “unexpected error”?
Luckily every single error “has been forwarded to MySpace’s technical group”. Or…? Luckily someone on Flickr seems to know ;)
Click!
Making friends is never too easy. What a perfect new slogan for MySpace.
After criticizing MySpace big time, I decided to give a try (I’m so weak, I know…).
And after browsing through some profiles I still don’t get it: What’s the point of adding dozens of contacts to one’s friends list if you haven’t ever even met or talked to these people? Or is it just so cool of having 50 celebrities as your “friends”?
Well, let’s see where this ends up. I can’t help being skeptical.
Time Tunnel 13 website is open. Too bad H.A.N.D boys didn’t make a video of last year’s great event which was held at amazing looking Uusi Seurahuone.
While waiting the Utah Saints music videos to appear to the official website, there’s always YouTube for the impatient ones :)
BIO UPDATE
First of all, there are two updates of the website. Biography is again back up-to-date and a bit wider than the former version.
DOWNLOAD MIX
Then, Spinni 10 year anniversary mix is now available for downloading on the mixes site. It was podcasted already some time ago, but if you’re not into any casts, now is a good chance to download it. The mix includes music from artists like Junkie XL, Starecase, Hybrid, David Forbes, Transa etc. Full length mix with old and new tracks included.
ORION JOINS MISC MANAGEMENT
Orion joined Misc Management DJ booking agency earlier this week. Misc Management is the first truly professional, dance music oriented dj booking agency – management located in Helsinki, Finland. As well as being part of Misc’s Artist Roster, Orion also works as part of the Misc Management staff from now on. More news concerning the subject should be available pretty soon.
