Despite the nasty comments I had heard of HTC where Therapy event is being held, I was positively surprised. The sound was very bassheavy, venue bigger than I expected and all-in-all pretty cosy for electronic music events. It’s not too fancy for a bit more rough sound or too warehouse-like for basic house tracks. If one could re-decorate it, I think it would be near-to-perfect venue.
If I really need to find some negative things from a superb Saturday night, they must be technical: I really hate CDJ-200s. They’re far too sensitive for club use – especially if you’re used to the touch of CDJ-800/1000. I ended up using the jog wheel from the very middle to avoid too strong touch, but still it felt very uncertain.
But yes, the Saturday night must have been one of my alltime favourites in Oulu. Therapy was nicely packed, they nearly broke their alltime record. The audience was as good as it gets, very open to different kinds of sound – from minimal and tech influenced house to progressive, electro, breaks and oldskool. Big thanks to Gateway for an invitation and top-notch warm-up set, Kosmo&Reea for lovely hosting & big laughs and Oulu crowd for making such a good party!

After a one year break it was nice to return to Kajaani’s Club96 with Kaasi. This must have been the third or fourth six hour backtoback session with him, so things went as smoothly as expected. During the years we’ve gotten lots of musical influences from each other and even though the variety of sounds in our sets has remained the same, at the same time it has gotten easier and more relaxed and natural to play together. Kaasi must be one of the very few DJs I really enjoy playing b2b with – normally b2b sets are just full of compromises, but with him things really seem to evolve further.
It was funny to notice that one year ago we both carried full vinyl crates with us and now the amount of vinyls had reduced to ten or less. If we’ll return again in one year – or even earlier, I hope – we might only have USB-sticks with us, who knows.
Kajaani audience was once again very welcoming, it was very nice to meet all the old fellows and some new faces, too. Progressive house spiced with some bootlegs turned out to be an enjoyable mixture for the night. Really looking forward to go back there again.

PORE – Keskipohjanmaan viikkolehti 9/2007 – 16.11.2007
Ender oli kertonut innoissaan Jokelle buukanneensa keikan Ylivieskaan. Siihen Jokke oli kysynyt, tiedätkö missä Ylivieska on. Ender oli vastannut, että “eikö se ole sata kilometriä kehä kolmoselta pohjoiseen”.
Iso kiitos Kaasille.
Autumn 2007 Dance Tools mix tracklist is now available on the mixes site.
Cd-levyjen nouseva hinta on etääntynyt liian kauaksi siitä arvosta, joka tuotteella on kuluttajalle.
Ennen pitkää on pakko arvioida uudelleen tekijänoikeuden periaatteita ja pohtia vertaisverkkojen laillistamista.

Elokuvayhtiö Sandrew Metronome on päättänyt lopettaa elokuvien tuotannon ja sen sijaan keskittyä täysin ansaitsemaan rahaa jo omistamillaan tekijänoikeuksilla. Tämän päivän tekijänoikeuksilla on tullut kannattavammaksi käyttää aikaa oikeusistuimissa kuin elokuvastudiossa.
Neljä suurinta levy-yhtiötä omistavat oikeudet noin 80%:iin koko historian aikana julkaistusta levytetystä musiikista. Näitä oikeuksia käytetään ensisijaisesti kontrolliin; liiketoiminnan kehittäminen niiden avulla on toissijaista.
Kun suuret levy-yhtiöt saavat tekijänoikeusuhkauksillaan YouTuben kaltaisilta yrityksiltä jättikorvauksia, artistit eivät saa näistä korvauksista senttiäkään. Levy-yhtiö pitää itsellään koko korvauksen siitä, että artistin töitä levitetään luvatta.
Kun ihmiset ostavat musiikkikappaleita iTunes-levykaupasta, saa luottokorttiyhtiö kappaleen myyntihinnasta suuremman osuuden kuin itse artisti. Leijonanosan vie luonnollisesti levy-yhtiö.
Many of you might already know Mercedes Benz Mixed Tape. 18 albums of chill-out, hiphop, leftfield and indie music, perfect stuff for lazy sunny Sundays, all of which were downloadable for free on the website.
After 18 albums the project has ended and Mixed Tape crew has some new plans. Unfortunately the old albums, even the “Best Of” #18, aren’t available on the site anymore. However – you can still download them all at 71 Grad.
19 hours und 22 minutes of new music. Legally and free. That should be enough for this Sunday.
So, Nokia Music Store opened today. Here are the facts:
– The music has DRM.
– The music is in WMA-format. Yes, Windows Media Audio.
– The music bitrate is 192kbit/s.
– You can play the music only with the latest version of Windows Media Player.
– An album full of DRM and in WMA format costs 8 pounds.
– You can also stream music. Streaming is like listening to a free internet radio or last.fm. Except in Nokia Music Store it costs you 8 pounds a month.
What a kick-ass store!
Just when I hyped Ultima Thule podcast in the previous entry, they have started Ultima Thule Ambient video presenting some ambient music video rarities. Some of the them are VERY 80’s, but that’s just the fascinating part :)
I think this is some of the best ways to use YouTube, but I’m sure the copyright controllers won’t agree. I just checked last night my “Oldskool Music Videos” playlist on YouTube and 95% of the videos were removed “due to copyright violations”. I wonder how long Ultima Thule’s channel will last…
Last weeks have been very interesting what comes to podcasts. Here are some worth checking. If you have any recommended podcasts, feel free to comment.
