Hiekkadyyni.fi delightfully shares us a full 360 degree view of the best summer club in Northern Finland. What a pity that there isn’t any similar look available of the upstairs. The landscape there is just stunning.
Well, here’s the downstairs anyway. Take a look.
In case you haven’t subscribed yet, there’s a very, very nice chillout mix by Introvert available on Orion’s podcast. Introvert is without doubt one of the most talented producers in Northern Finland (living in Helsinki at the moment, though). Getting an unreleased chillout mix from him for the podcast is more than nice – this is perfect music for the northern summer nights when the sun’s never going down…

I’m way too tired to write anything constructive about the last night’s event in Oulu’s Kuusisaari, but while waiting for the words you can always look at the pictures:

Missing bootleg remix got finished last night. The result is a 8min long rolling and growling breakbeat tune.
Got some priceless help from my friends – big thank-yous to my brother Joonas for the midi-madness and to Jussi for the Bass. And not to forget you who listened and evaluated the preview-versions – thanks for the patience :)

Siitä huolimatta, että RSS-feedit ovat yleistyneet ja niiden käyttö helpottunut huomattavasti, tuntuu että tämänkin blogin lukijoista monella ei ole tietoa mikä RSS-feed on ja miten sellaiseen kirjaudutaan. No, viimein moiseen näyttäisi olevan kohtuullisen yksinkertainen ratkaisu:
Yläpuolella näkyy kolme laatikkoa, joista jokainen edustaa yhtä ylläpitämääni palvelua: tätä blogia, DJ-podcastiani ja yhdessä ystävieni kanssa pyöritettävää Worldwide Mix Selections -podcastia. Kirjoittamalla palvelua vastaavaan laatikkoon sähköpostiosoitteesi alat saada kyseisen blogin tai castin tuoreimmat jutut sähköpostiisi automaattisesti. Mailiin putoavat siis viimeisimmät kirjoitukset tästä blogista tai linkit tuoreimpiin podcast-miksauksiin ja raitoihin, välittömästi niiden ilmestyttyä blogiin. Helppoa. Ja mistään spämmistä ei ole kysymys – voit peruuttaa sähköpostitilauksen yksinkertaisesti klikkaamalla saamasi sähköpostin lopussa olevaa linkkiä.

Friday night was dedicated to easy house music. I was invited to a local club Helmi to play the last set. Helmi’s target group are more mainstream chart lovers than electronic music freaks so I ended up leaving my TOP20 records at home and chose something totally different. Before my slot, DJ Hesher played quality breaks, funk and disco spiced with määäd scratching and really had the dancefloor under control. When starting, I have to admit, I wasn’t the most confident person on that club but the end of the night ended up to be really enjoyable and refreshing. No matter what they say about street credibility, but it really makes you see DJing from a new point of view when you’re playing something completely different every once in a while.

Saturday in Oulu was more an ordinary club night. I warmed up Magellan Project/Alt-F4/Avanto -boys on a local Illumination club. Even though quality electronic music nights are getting more and more famous in (Northern) Finland, the nature of Finns still stays the same – a suddenly crazy going bar tells that heavy metal band Lordi winning the Eurovision Song Contest is definitely more interesting than a new remix of Union Jack’s Two Full Moons And A Trout ;)
Another enjoyable night – these houseprogressive gems tend to work well in Oulu, time after time.

Lately there has been some sort of a mania of doing oldskool trance mixes. Several DJs have browsed through their oldest records (or bought the backcatalogue as MP3s – who knows these days anymore…) and selected tracks which suit to their image of oldskool. The result is a lot of excellent music, different styles and good memories.
pHaze – …For old times sake
Damien – I Hate Modern Trance
Aki A. – Lonely Traveller
Gateway – My Tranceclassics
Timmo – Ransu
And the tracklists are here:
UDG serves you well. After one wheel of my UDG Trolley Bag broke, I contacted UDG Customer Service. After sending the receipt, a couple of photos and an explanation, the Customer Service contacted me with a really nice email and promised to send a full repair kit.
This is what I got today. Spare parts more than I needed and indeed a FULL repair kit. The only thing which seems to be missing, is the manual for those (read: “me”) who don’t have a clue how to remove the broken parts and replace them with those above.
James Zabiela demonstrates the DJM-800 mixer… in an aquarium.
Was this supposed to be a good advertisement?
