Hello hello!
The famous Finnish summer has started (famous for not being sunny and warm as summers usually are:) and it’s a good chance to put together a newsletter of some sort. It’s been an incredible 2009 so far and there are plenty of interesting things to come – here are some selected newsbits.
*** Coldplay – Viva La Vida (Flight & Jontey meet DJ Orion bootleg remix) ***
Early this year I joined Flight & Jontey, a Tampere-based house duo, to make an exclusive bootleg remix for this year’s Labyrinth // Laserpoint event. After the event, a couple of copies were given out and the response was really nice. By now not only for example Tiesto and Jaytech have given thumbs-up for the track but over 100 Scandinavian DJs are playing it regularly. A summer tune for sure :) Thanks for all the nice feedback we’ve gotten for the track – and if you happen not be familiar with the tune, you can check it at YouTube.
*** In the studio with J.Shore and Flight&Jontey ***
Talking about Flight & Jontey, we’re still getting together in the studio this June. Their house & dnb background combined with a bit more proggy influenced taste of mine resulted in nice combos last time and I can’t wait to share the much talked Tampere-fiilis with them again :)
A week ago I finally found time to share a studio with my brother, J.Shore, and continue the chill-out project we started last year with One Sunday and Brotherhood tracks. The result was three new chill-out tracks, which still need some days of work, but I’m hoping to have some samples online by the end of June.
*** DJ Orion – Brotherhood ***
The remixes of Brotherhood, a sequel for One Sunday are now ready. I was really, really happy with the One Sunday remixes and once again the remixers went beyond all the expectations. Ayleon, Flight&Jontey and Anton Sonin deliver their interpretations – something for everyone: Ayleon’s trancey remix, Flight&Jontey’s house&proghouse version and Anton’s progressive trance remix are available for listen at http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/02/dj-orion-brotherhood/.
*** Mango, DJ Orion, J.Shore – Raining In Osaka ***
The Russian-Finnish co-op track “Mango, DJ Orion & J.Shore – Raining In Osaka” climbed the Beatport prog house charts after its release and got very nice feedback. The last version, “Raining In Osaka (DJ Orion & J.Shore remix)” will be released on Mango Alley Recordings sampler in August. Available for listen here: http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/03/mango-orion-jshore-raining-in-osaka-mango-alley/
*** Love ***
After last year’s Metaverse tour, we at Misc. Management have been working together with DJ Orkidea & Jack club, running nights at Redrum with guests like Nick Warren and Matthew Dekay.
Over half a year ago we started planning a new concept called “Love” and to keep it short, you can read more here: http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/05/theres-something-about-love/
We’ve been really busy with the Love opening night, happening on 5.7.2009 with Pete Tong (BBC Radio 1, UK) headlining. Busy or not – it’s anyway been great to be a part of the concept and share the Love to music and club culture :) If you feel like looking, the website is now open at www.lovehelsinki.fi
*** Schedule ***
Despite of all the fun described above, lately I’ve needed to say to “no” to several interesting possibilities, projects, gigs and events. I’m having a short gig break until October, 2009 and concentrating on something which has been by far the most fascinating experience of my life. I’m becoming father in early September – and needless to say, I want to save some quality time to get most out of the days before (and after) the birth :)
*** YleX Tiistain Tanssi-ilta ***
Even though I’ve reduced the amount of gigs, the beats at Tiistain Tanssi-ilta will be served regularly every second Tuesday on YleX at 21:00.
One of the most exciting upcoming shows is on 21.7.2009 when we’ll be having the Tom Middleton retrospective, a show presenting Tom’s whole career in one hour. Not an easy task, but luckily we got help from Tom himself, who will be hosting the one-hour show personally. This is a very, very rare occasion and really worth listening.
Thanks for reading this far – you can catch up with the latest stuff on my blog or download the latest mixes via the podcast, both available at http://orion.reaktio.net

Cheeerio! :)

I just had to write this down for the years to come. On one weekend Helsinki witnesses Chris Lake, Tom Middleton, Marco V, Joris Voorn, Astral Projection, Push and Derrick May on five different events. 2009 hasn’t been a bad year at all, but this has been a top weekend so far.
If you feel like looking further back, I recommend checking legendary Ocsid playlist from 1995 which Ozzi made alive again by collecting the tracks on one playlist on YouTube. If you’re not familiar with Ocsid, read more on Klubitus topic.
Playing tonight at Mixxed @ Bio Rex terrace. It’s beautiful weather, really looking forward to this.

Chill-out moment of the day. Spotted this on Spushik’s Twitter some days ago. Apparently produced by Rollo, this track has been on non-stop play since I found it. Just a lovely piece of music. Enjoy.
This Saturday One returns to Tanssitalo to start the summer. For me this also means a short break with One – unfortunately I can’t be present at the first One of the upcoming autumn (for the reasons I will tell later), so I will definitely make the most out of this experience. Check the One trailer above (fantastic work by joili) and the details below.

I’m really excited of hearing Niklas’s set again – the last time must have been on Iglu tour years ago and it was just brilliant. Niklas’s career has been very very successful in the past years and I’m assuming this will a One to remember… :)

During the past weeks and days you might have come up with a new club concept, which is launching in Helsinki in early July. The event series has a big name, Love, but the name also tells it all: it’s been made with love to music, to club culture and to people who share the same vibes. It brings us all together.
If you thought Love is korny, it’s a stupid cliché or that people don’t speak about love anymore, check the Love website which presents Love from Twitter is real time. Love is all around us.
I’m very happy that Misc possé (Oded, Asaf and me) are again working with DJ Orkidea and the whole Unity crew. It’s been more than a year after we got together to think through to the concept even close to this size and after the experiences on Metaverse tour, I just can’t wait Love to happen.
On the opening night 5.7.2009, held at the biggest and finest new venue in Helsinki, The Circus, Pete Tong makes his debut gig in Finland. It’s been estimated that over 30 million people hear Pete’s each BBC Radio 1 show which is just h.u.g.e crowd. In comparison, the last episode of Conan O’Brien’s talk show was seen by 3,5 million people. He is one of the most influencial trendsetters of electronic music and the second oldest radio voice on BBC Radio 1.
Culturally speaking, club culturally to be frank, I think Pete Tong is easily among the most important DJ visitors Finland has seen in years.
(And if you thought Pete Tong is a big name, just wait for the upcoming nights… :)
Below is a Love story of Pete Tong. To get more information about the night, why not visit Love Facebook event
Love Story 2: The Artist
There are many reasons why Pete Tong has been called ‘The most powerful person in dance music’ by Muzik Magazine. Or even ‘The god of dance music’ by The Independent. It might be the fact that on a weekly basis, there are more than 30 million live listeners to his BBC1 radio shows ‘Essential Selection’ and ‘Essential Mix’. It might also be the fact that Daft Punk, Underworld, Tiësto, Basement Jaxx, Justice, Eric Prydz and pretty much everybody in dance music hope to get him to be the first to introduce their music to the world. Maybe it’s the fact that since releasing the first ever house music compilation in the UK — ‘The House Sound of Chicago Vol 1’ in 1986 — he has sold millions of compilations for brands such as Pacha, Ministry of Sound, Cream, Mixmag and his very own FFRR label where he’s signed such artists as Orbital and Goldie.
As the icon that he is, Tong was the inspiration behind the film “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”. As a producer he has assembled the music for movie soundtracks such as The Beach, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People, and has produced his own material under various guises. He’s one of the biggest crowd pullers in clubland, including his legendery residencies at Pacha Ibiza and Ministry of Sound in London, and headlining slots all over the globe. It seems as if everything Pete touches turns into a long-lasting memory. Which explains why he’s one of the most sought after figures in a scene that’s built around music that turns into an experience.
The dance scene has changed a lot since Pete started, but one thing remains the same: “People love music, make no mistake about that, whether and how they buy it right now is one thing, but people still want to party… it’s our job to come up with new parties, new nights, new venues, new themes to keep the scene fresh and exciting.” Pete still sees his vocation as he did when he started out, playing other people’s records to get an audience dancing. “We need to constantly remember why people want to come to clubs – which is simply to have a great time and feel the music.” And here we are, ready to do just that.
LOVE is delighted to have Mr. Tong play his debut gig in Finland on a night that will be remembered for a long time.
