Did you already check the video of the Human Turntable?
OK, this clip is just a teaser. Tomorrow morning I’m going to upload another DMC-clip: 15 years ago, in 1991, Finnish DJ Eliot Ness made it to the third place in DMC World DJ Championships. With some help from DJ Kaasi, I hunted down a clip from his performance. The tricks are quite stunning, I must say.
But before Mr. Eliot’s clip, here’s the famous Human Turntable trick. Stay tuned.
Denis Vakulin, aka DJ DNA seems to have a new website.
And Tero Civill, aka DJ Coma opened his virtual lounge as well. Mr. Coma also offers two tracks for download:
Tero Civill – The Message
Tero Civill – Watching You
Check Tero’s Audio page for full track descriptions.

HOW TO GET THESE TRACKS:
You’re listening to a radio channel, DJ-set or podcast and hear a song which you definitely want to have. What do you do?
Far too many people trust on P2P programs when they want to find a track which is simply just too good. They download it illegally, because it’s easy and free – but also because they don’t know (or care) how to get it otherwise.
DJs are a part of music marketing, you can’t deny that. They know where to buy the best tracks, they know how to find good music legally, they know how to hear about the new music which hasn’t even gotten on the charts. So why wouldn’t they share this knowledge?
At the moment DJs are just writing their TOP20-charts for two purposes: to show the promoters that they are active and they should be booked AND to show the other DJs that they have tracks which the other DJs do not have. Still – too often I hear on the clubs some clubber asking the question: “This is so cool music – where can you buy this kind of stuff?”
Now – why wouldn’t DJs also write their charts for the music freakz who would just die to get to listen the Top20 Chart tracks at home? It would be good promotion for the electronic music, it would keep it alive. And it would be good promotion for the DJ – the more people would come to his website and actually get to HEAR the music alongside all this namedropping, the more discussion there would be around the DJ him/herself. And this discussion (read: publicity) is what all these disc jockeys want, right?
Now how would this happen? Simple. Just by linking the chart tunes to the shops where they are available.
I’ll be writing my new Top Choices chart soon here and adding the links where these records are available to buy. Maybe it helps you to find better music and more importantly – better sources of good music.
Oh, quite a nice way to combine effective music promotion, DJ-mixes and podcast is Beatport’s podcast. Subscribe and listen, you’ll see why.
Despite the fact that Club Unity is throwing only one party this summer in Uunisaari, their Future looks bright and interesting…
Vanhoja Mind Records -levykaupan listoja skannattuna. Etenkin levyjen kuvaukset ovat jääneet elämään klassikoina. “HOT! TIP! GET THIS!”
If you’re living in Andorra or Spain, tune your radio to Proxima.fm station on Saturday 10.6. at 01AM local time. The station will air one of my mixes for the South European music freaks. Tune in.
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…

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 :)

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.
