So long, Myspace. Here’s the new VIRB profile.
Reaktio.net was down due to an electricity failure during the Easter holidays. We and Northern Techno Forums (yes, the forum is on the same server) are up and all good again. I will notify about similar problems on my Jaiku account in the future.
Rose Garden uusii huhtikuun aikana ilmeensä, linjauksensa ja tarjontansa. Uusin Rose-lehti lupailee seuraavaa:
“Muistatko kun dj vaihtoi vokaali biitin afrikka rytmeihin, jatkoi syvillä piano riffeillä ja säesti illan loppuun tuhdeilla basso linjoilla kyllästetyillä garage ralleilla. Muistatko kun illat päättyivät aina johonkin soul tai disco klassikkoon […]”
Muistatko, kirjoittaja, kun koulussa opetettiin yhdyssanoja ja -merkkejä? Yhdeksän pilkku- tai yhdyssana/-merkkivirhettä puolessatoista lauseessa?!
Oikeasti. Niin siisti juttu kuin klubien linjausten uusiminen ja eteenpäinvieminen onkin, niin uudistushenkisyyttä huokuvan markkinointipaketin voisi edes antaa oikoluettavaksi. Pro-imago karisi nopeasti huonon soomen myötä.
I joined Jaiku. Jaiku is like Twitter. It’s just Finnish. And better (also for other reasons;).
Even though the original or the main idea of Jaiku – blogging (or writing Jaikus) from everywhere, letting people know where you are and what you do – does not interest me too much, there’s still something very useful: bringing all your rss-feeds together.
So basically, by subscribing to the Jaiku feed of mine, you’ll get not only the latest Flickr photos and Youtube videos from my accounts to your feed reader but also the latest blog entries and the podcasts, too. No more lame, useless browsing :)
Here’s my Jaiku feed: http://orion.jaiku.com/feed/rss
And the site itself here: http://orion.jaiku.com
Go, give a try. And if not, don’t worry, the old feed of this blog and other services will remain unchanged.
… time to grab some perfect summer mixes to your mp3 player of choice.

While waiting for the Hytky techno documentary festival, have 25 well spent minutes and watch an old, classic Berliner Trance documentary. See the description:
“This lost classic, shot on 16mm in a wintry Berlin in 1993, explores the origins of the now monumentally massive German Trance and Dance music scene.
With interviews with luminaries such as Dr Motte, Paul van Dyk, Laurent Garnier, Paul Browse, Mijk van Dijk and MFS label supremo Mr Mark Reeder this now legendary exploration into the underworld of what was the most significant force in driving dance music forward in the 20th century. It contains rare early footage of the 1991 and 1993 Love Parade, and of the now bulldozed Mutoid Waste Company land, E-Werk and Tresor – Berlin’s legendary (and now closed) clubs that started it all in the former East Berlin.
Directed by Ben Hardyment, this documentary is imbued with an uplifting and extremely positive energy – there are rumours of a film sequel in the pipeline, but for now, sit back and enjoy 25 minutes of pure trance music history.”
