It was early internet era (at least for the Finnish techno scene) as I found this record. DJ Coma is Tampere had his official website on legendary spacecafe.fi domain (R.I.P.) and had listed his TOP 10 tracks there. Of course there was no way of listening those tracks, the golden era of mp3s was still ahead, but I remember spotting his #1 track, Atlantis – Fiji.
It was a weekend or two later when I heard him playing the tune and recognized it by the vocal. It took me around two months to hunt down a vinyl copy of it (boy, have we gotten impatient during the internet era – what was the last tune you tried to find for two months?) and it’s still one of my personal gems in the vinyl collection. And it still has the late 90’s Tampere-vibe in it :)
Funny detail – 1-2 years earlier Paul Oakenfold was hammering a tune called “Kelly & Lee – Only You“, which samples the same tune as Atlantis track and was a big big Oakie-hit. I can’t find that on Discogs neither for sale anywhere – let me know if you find/have it – I would definitely be interesting in buying one copy.
Anyway, it would be nice to know if that Atlantis track was made on purpose using “that Oakie-sample” knowing it could be an instant hit…
Also – do not mix this up with later rip-off “Atlantis vs. Avatar – Fiji” or especially Lange remix, which did the same to Fiji as Tiesto did to Delerium’s Silence. *brrrr*
Below is a Youtube link to original version.

Mauro Picotto – Hong Kong (2002)
In the beginning of the new millennium, when the BPMs were a lot higher, I hunted down this record. It’s a collection of Mauro Picotto’s previously unreleased tunes – called The Others (fans of Lost here, anyone? ;). Most of the tracks aren’t that special, but one of them stands out. Hong Kong is an energetic techno track, which grows and grows – and after an effect-driven breakdown it drops to proper industrial-distorted-90s-techno. The drop is ridiculously cool – this track was definitely done with tongue-in-cheek.
Those days, I used this numerous times as an encore track because of the good melodic intro & outro. Would be a worth of a spin still today, wouldn’t it?

Labyrinth // Laserpoint allstars track
Devilfish – Man Alive (edit)
The second of the most awaited annual events is again at hand. This year’s Labyrinth // Laserpoint will be bringing the largest arsenal of different lasers to Finland so far, and gather up a show which is the biggest in Northern Europe. Held in a very legendary venue, Cable Factory in Helsinki, the show combines the raw industrial environment to the latest top-notch club technology.
I’ll be playing this year a set at the main stage together with my good friend DJ Flight just before Way Out West takes over. As last year, our sound will be a combination of trancey and house tracks – not to forget a small hint of techno. To reveal a bit more, Laserpoint possé asked us a few questions – the interview is pasted below (the original is here).
And yeah, I’ll be giving out one free ticket to the event via my podcast. If you’re interested, subscribe on iTunes and download+listen the latest episode (#111), you’ll know what to do then.

Labyrinth // Laserpoint // Whiteout – Interview 3/6 – Orion & Flight
01. Orion & Flight – What kind of memories do you have of Kaapelitehdas, the venue where Labyrinth // Laserpoint is being held?
Orion:
Last year’s gig at the main stage was exactly 10 years after I visited Labyrinth for the first time and was blown away by the Kaapelitehdas vibe. Even though it took ten years, I think it’s a great proof that if you push hard enough, you can make anything happen.
Flight:
When I came into this scene not even 4 years ago I could never even imagine all this to happen so fast. 2007 warmup slot at the Laserpoint side stage, then 2009 & 2010 the main stage. I’m so grateful to all those guys behind Labyrinth // Laserpoint events who have been supporting me from the very beginning.
02. You both have been playing in numerous club cities already this year. What are the most enjoyable features of touring Finland?
Orion:
I think we have a privilege in Finland to have so professional and self-demanding promoters who’re making great events no matter where you go. Also – meeting great new people on and off the dancefloor and getting down at the afterparty with the locals – nothing beats a weekend like that.
Flight:
I love those road trips, so nice to chat, meet and have fun with new friends. Laidback guys & chicks from south to north and from east to west. No matter where you go there is always someone who loves electronic music, wants to party and appears beautiful ;)
03. We all remember that Coldplay bootleg and all the re-edits from the 2009 event. What’s currently boiling in the studio?
Orion:
We’ve done together over a dozen new re-edits during the past months and we’ll be selecting the best ones for this year’s Labyrinth // Laserpoint.
On my solo side I’ve done lots of chill-out tracks with my brother J.Shore and just signed a contract with Silk Sofa which should result some new releases still this year.
Regarding Coldplay-bootleg – it was great to see ATB exclusively supporting the tune – he’s still playing it. That bootleg can now be downloaded for free here: http://bit.ly/vivalavida-bootleg
Flight:
Besides the re-edits we’ve made a new bootleg with legendary K-System – Smashing Pumpkins ‘Tonight, Tonight’ – the debut play will be at the Cable Factory. Rumored ‘Amor De La Discoteca’ is a slammin house track by my mate Heikki L and me, our first but surely not the last tune together. And of course the Tampere duo is doing some dancefloor damage: Latest Flight & Jontey track ‘Every Night’ got surprisingly wide support and was just released on Avenue recordings. There are some other collab plans but those results you will explore later this year.
04. Tell us one irritating and one admirable thing about the other?
Flight:
Orion has sometimes a mode known as hyperactive workaholic, but with a right attitude it has good impact for a lazy guy like me. Generally speaking, he’s an earthy and trustworthy character who inspires and encourages the crowd around him. Finest fella I have met via techno.
Orion:
After a gig, I hate early wake-up-calls with Flight. Merely because he doesn’t wake up. There’s no way of getting him out of the bed. But on the other hand – he’s super reliable and fascinatingly talented house DJ who has a great ear for groove. And not to forget – a very good friend.
05. What’s the wildest rumour going around of you two?
Flight:
Yes, it’s definitely about when we met. The worst thing is it’s all true. I was drunk and in a gay bar…
Orion:
… yes, an epic start, indeed. Tampere, gay bar and back in 2006. Good things don’t often start that obviously :)

It’s been over four months since Uzu phoned me they’ve found a proper venue for upcoming One events. After two successful years in Tanssitalo, we were sad to leave the old venue behind but clearly this seemed like a proper replacement for a well served humppa-venue. Now, after four months of preparing to get reunited, I think we had a pretty good start last night at Pellava, the new home of One.
It was nice to see drS warming up the floor and filling it in less than an hour with great oldskoolish, proggy vibes (I’m really looking forward to see his full tracklist..), Something Good delivered something good with their new tunes and more housey & bassheavy approach which worked really well and Jussi Soro ended the night with his trademark trancey tunes (including Atlantis Ita’s I See You In The Next Life as encore).
I was happy to see our new re-edits going down really well – the brand new edit of Slusnik Luna’s Sun had its premiere last night and it was nice to see crowd recognizing the Heaven Scent re-edit already long before the main riff hit in. The full tracklist is listed above.
Funktion One & Battery Sound System did their thing, too. It’s been a while when you’ve really felt the music in your chest like that. The stone walls gave an extra *ooomph* to the bass, but also a nasty echo to the DJ-booth, which seemed to bother all the DJs a bit. I heard the same sound system will be used next time at Laterna when Romance enters the venue on 8.5. I can imagine due to smaller venue it’ll be even more intensive sound experience and definitely worth a check.
Battery Sound System also included CDJ-2000s, so this was the first time for me to test them on a gig. I took the most out of it and also used USB sticks instead of CDs. It was reliable, fast and very convinient, but it’ll definitely take a while to get used to browse the music collection on a small screen instead of a CD-case – I still like the physical format. Despite that, I’m really looking forward to CDJ-2000s becoming club standard players – they feel good :)
Anyway, I was happy to see so many people smiling, partying carelessly and getting into Tampere-fiilis. One got a good start at Pellava – sure there were some things which will be done better in the future (and we’re more than happy to hear any suggestions from you) – but nevertheless, we’re now looking forward to early June. On 5.6. Pellava will host another One-event with “Tampere Classics” theme. Big tunes all night long :) To get the info first, you can follow One at Twitter or keep refreshing www.one-event.info every 30seconds or so ;)
Thanks again for the great, great night & vibes. See you in June!
