One Sunday release news

By UncategorizedNo Comments

I’m happy to announce that my first track, One Sunday, has been signed to SolarStone’s Solaris recordings.

We have agreed publishing the original and all the remixes during the spring either on Solaris or one of its sub-labels. The remixes are all now done except Ville Lope’s proggy trance version, which should be finished early next year.

The final pack includes remixes from Beetseekers, Syna, Sami Saari, Cid Inc and Ville Lope, styles varying from tech-house to prog breaks, prog house and trance. The guys have done fantastic job and I’m very happy with the results not to mention getting a strong, good reputation owning label publish the whole pack.

Trance Chronology Tiistain Tanssi-illassa

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Union, Helsinki, 1993

YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan ekalla tunnilla jouluaatonaattona 23.12. otetaan katsaus trancen historiaan vuodesta 1991 vuoteen 2003. Kutakin vuotta edustamaan on valittu yksi kappale, joka heijastelee trance-soundin muutoksia 90-luvun alusta tähän päivään. Tunnin aikana kurkataan 90-luvun alun hypnoottiseen ja hitaaseen trance-soundiin, rave-ajan BPM-rajoja rikkoneeseen tiukempaan poljentoon, progehousen läpilyöntiin ja tietysti trancen kulta-ajaksikin kutsuttuun vuosituhannen vaihteeseen.

23.12.2008 lähetyksessä ei biisivierasta.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

MiscBehaving and One this weekend

By UncategorizedOne Comment

As I’m not in Finland on the New Year’s Eve, I consider this weekend the end-of-the-year party. And what a weekend it is! Starting on Friday, the Misc. Management organized event Extremely Miscbehaving takes over Virgin Oil. The night is hosted by DJ Orkidea, Mr.A warms up the floor and the foreign guests include Redanka, the very strong, oldskool and classic progressive talent and SolarStone, the man behind various excellent trance tunes.

On Saturday, SolarStone, Orkidea and me head to Tampere. It’s the season closing night for the local club One, which has grown to be one of the strongest club brands in the area. Flight and Uzu, the guys behind the club have been putting an enormous amount of time and thoughts for the concept and I’ve been happy to see a glimpse of the original Tampere-fiilis and easy-going and happy people always attending.  The opening party was truly memorable and getting Jaytech to play in Tampere was one of my personal highlights of the past autumn. Can’t wait for this Saturday and the upcoming season… :)

New Beatport

By Uncategorized2 Comments

Beatport will update January 21st, 2009 and gave a short preview of the features to come.

Finally – a playlist and a possibility for cueing tracks, a long waited feature. The sample seems to be divided to several areas. Is that a feature to listen several samples of the track like at DJDownload? And hopefully they’ve also added a feature to buy only a part of the tracks you’ve added to your cart.

Jack turns five. This friday.

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Jack, Fifth Anniversary Party, front
It feels like it’s only a couple of months ago when Ian Ossia visited Jack on the club’s 4th birthday. This Friday Jack turns five and Jody Wisternoff from the Way Out West fame hits the decks. Jody is one of my long time favourites, not only because of his fantastic monthly podcast but also his Way Out West tracks, reaching back to ’97. From the local heroes, the original Jack residents DJ Orkidea and Lil’Tony join Jody to warm up the dance floor. Partyparty!

edit: Unfortunately Jody has cancelled his gig due to problems with his sciatic nerve (back pain, in plain English). Mr.A will be replacing and Jack will see all the original residents behind the decks.

On the January 17th Jack starts bi-monthly at Redrum. See the flyer below.

DJ Orkidea Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana

By UncategorizedOne Comment

YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana 9.12.2008 on pari kuukautta sitten keikkatauolta palannut DJ Orkidea. Orkidea kertaa biisivierasosuudessaan loppuvuoden keikkakuulumiset ja laittaa ensisoittoon vastavalmistuneen remiksinsä Way Out Westin “Ajare”-klassikosta.

Biisivieras Tiistain Tanssi-illassa joka toinen viikko. DJ Orionin tunnilla klo 21-22 esittäytyvät vieraat kuuluvat Suomen elektronisen musiikin artistien kärkikaartiin ja tuovat ohjelmaan oman musiikillisen antinsa esittelemällä valitsemansa biisin.

Tiistain Tanssi-illassa mennään lähes koko ensimmäinen tunti trancen merkeissä. Ainoana housempana raitana käsittämättömän upea uusi raita Didolta pitkän linjan jenkkiremiksaajan käsittelyssä. Lisäksi lautasilla SignalRunners, SolarStone uuden albumin lemppariraitansa kanssa, PeakTwins, Oliver Smith, DJ Preach ja uusi biisi Super8 & Tab:lta.
Kurkkaa myös tietoa vuoden viimeisistä Tanssi-illoista.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

Short notes about music business #1

By UncategorizedOne Comment

If you are a musician and you think a radio show, podcast, DJ-mix or even p2p sharing is not benefiting your business in a long run, you are so not living in the 21st century.

[I wrote these notes originally by hand over a year ago, but they seem to have needed lots of time to take this form. Originally it was The Future Of Music book that inspired me to make these notes – the book is highly recommended. To find all these short notes, search this blog for “Short notes about music business”]
