I’m heading to Vaasa this weekend – and strangely – I’ve never been there before. During the wild years of early 2000 the hard dance and trance scenes were vital both in Seinäjoki and Vaasa, but I never had a chance to witness the legendary Papinnenä atmosphere.
Virtual Factory is already the 13th annual event held in Vaasa and has lots of good publicity in the media. Local City Magazine writes about the event and University Student Mag, as well the Giga website cover it well, too.
I’m really looking forward to the event, the lineup and preparations look strong and what comes to all the emails I’ve received, it seems the promoters are also über-nice and very professional.
I’m sharing the stage with K-System, with whom I had plenty of fun a couple of weeks ago in Hämeenlinna’s PushUp event and Jangler, who is a long-time friend from Northern Finland times. He kept Ylivieska.org running there for years and held some amazing parties in the Ylivieska/Kalajoki area.
Here are the event details. See you soon!

One of the most awaited events of the year is at hands. Pacifique is one day of summer in the middle of the coldest winter and probably one of those nights people will remember for years.
It was my first time last year to see all of it, and boy, was I excited :)
For those who hear about Pacifique for the first time: it’s a 2000 people party, held once a year at Serena, the biggest in-door spa in Northern Europe. Five stages and whole variety of electronic music and electronica. Sold out in less than a month this year.
In 2009, Pacifique will also see its first foreign guest, Alfredo, the godfather of Ibiza house. It’s the same guy who inspired the likes of Paul Oakenfold and Nicky Holloway back in the day and was the one to start the spirit of Ibiza people are still enjoying today. Really looking forward to see the guy in action.
Misc. will take care of artist coordination, so no getting loose (at least as much as last time:), but this is still one of the highlights of this year, needless to say. I’m also playing a one hour chill-out set at the saunas in a familiar From Rural To Urban spirit, starting at 22:30. Join in and get a good löyly or two :) (and if you’re interested, check the tracklist from last year)
Solaris Recordings released One Sunday official trailer on their brand new Youtube Channel. You might have seen similar video on my channel earlier, but this is now official! *drumfill* ;)
There’s also some chatter going on at Solarstone’s forums.

“Kaikkien aikojen vaikutusvaltaisin elektroyhtye Kraftwerk esiintyy Helsingin Suvilahdessa torstaina 13.8. Flow Festivalin ja Live Nationin tuottama konsertti toteutetaan Flow Festivalin päälavalla festivaaliviikonlopun aattona.
Ensimmäisen albuminsa vuonna 1970 julkaissut saksalainen Kraftwerk on toiminut suunnannäyttäjänä erityisesti elektronisen musiikin varhaiskehityksessä. Myyttisen saksalaisyhtyeen diskografia sisältää useita yli genrerajojen tunnustettuja klassikkoalbumeita. Erityisesti Man Machine, Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express ja Computer World toimivat edelleen kiintopisteinä yhä useampaan suuntaan versoavan elektronisen musiikin kartalla.
Tapahtuman myötä debyyttinsä saa myös Flow Festivalin uudistunut, entistä suurempi ja yleisöystävällisempi päälava-alue.”

“‘One Sunday’ is a beautiful ambient soundscape with eastern influences and stunning musicianship. This clutch of classy remixes cross the breaks, progressive house and progressive trance genres. The Beetseekers get pole position with their stunning Pet Shop Boys influenced club mix. Cid Inc lays down a minimal techy mix with big room production. Syna turn it a lush progressive breaks version which extracts the warm melodies from the original and weaves them into a classy percussive backdrop. Sami Saari cranks up the octane with his pounding string stab punctuated tech trance mix while Ville Lope rounds off this package with a phat bassline-driven deep melodic progressive trance mix.” –Solaris Recordings

Paul van Dyk: Thanks!
Jono Grant (Above And Beyond): Interesting, will listen again

Ronski Speed (Euphonic): Nice beetseekers remix.
David West: I really like the original mix, it’s nice and deep and got that old school vibe
Mango: Really love the original mix, very emotional. as for remixes – cid inc is right up my alley, great work!
Fletch: The whole package is very strong, the original is a great chill out track and the Sami / Cid Inc remixes will get my support in sets.
Yves Eaux: Absolute fantastic package of electronic music!
Philip Belikov (Radio Records Russia): Very chill track ;) I like Beetseekers Remix
Loukas Pour-Hashemi (VMM Magazine): A very cool tune this, love the bassline and groove on the Sami Saari Magic Tuesday mix – definitely the one for me!
Clancy Bird (Kik FM – Australia): Absolutely beautiful! Everyone is a winner. Solid releases. Original is heavenly.
Igor Butckhrikidze (Invisible Sounds (Artist)): Original and Sami Saari Magic tuesday mix are cool… first one has great atmosphere and the second is nice groovy floorkilla
Haris C (Mix FM Cyprus): Really like them all!
Paul Nova (Power DJs): Fantastic, I like all the mixes and I will play in different situations the remixes, very good work!
Big Al: Lovin’ the energy from the Beetseekers Remix!!!
Steve Anderson (Radio DJ): Great feel to the Beetseekers Remix – supported
Zaneta Soroko: Great tunes, Sunday 3am Remix is excellent.
The second round of feedback:
Simon Barwood (Australian DJ): Wow, nice selection of mixes to choose from here! The Finnish sure now how to make good trance! Will definitely support. Thanks.
Matt Cerf: Liking the Sami remix
DJ Taucher: the orig is a super nice ambient piece to start and ore dream while listening, i definately need only the original track
Stevie Lost Foy (dancemuzik.com): smooth beautiful trance, instantly effective
Pedro Del Mar: Loving the chillin sounds of original mix
Shem Mccualy: 8/10 ville lope for me
Tom (Goldenscan): Great melodic trancer, how can it go wrong with those remixes?!? Keep up the good work
Mr Sam (Club DJ – France): all mixes are good but like more the Cid Inc remix.. will support.
Scott Bond: Liked the beetseekers remix the best I think :)
Tillman Uhrmacher: Very nice stuff! Thanks a lot! Will air it..
Matt Darey (DJ / Nocturnal Radio): Luscious!! Great stuff from DJ Orion
Ian Theil (99.7FM WVYC): Wow, how rare it is to get a promo pack this great. The original version of the song sucks to be honest. It just has no feeling. But god DAMN the remixes are on fire. The beetseekers remix is great, lots more energy and purpose. The sunday 3am and syna remixes are also mind blowing, melodic and progressive, epic tracks. The magic tuesday remix has some respectable bass, great for the dance floor. The sami saari remix is spunky and fun, with almost a latin clap to it, awesome. Tell DJ Orion to drop the “DJ” and just go by Orion, because this is a great track.
D:Fuse: Like the Original, Beetseekers, & Sami Sari Alt mix. Excellent use of melody.
Dimitri Kechagias (VIVA 95,3 fm – Greece): Impressive ambient original is pushed to the limit as it becomes an anthem with the help of some of the big players in the progressive scene. From that package cid inc/sami saari and ville lope should be my favourites and of course beatseekers with their psy trance influenced style. It will be radio supported and charted as it happens with all the solaris material. 10/10
Ali Wilson: Like the One Sunday [Sami Saari Alternative Mix], supporting early sets!
Hans Temmerman (Rotationz / The Mystic Force): Syna remix + original for me, heavenly production!
Mike Shiver: Loving The Sami Saari Remix!
YAZ (MPFS): Really liking both the Syna remix and also the Beatseekers on this – both will work brilliantly for my early sets. Gonna start my next Synthology show with the Syna remix.
Ken Spector: Beautiful melody! Definitely supporting.
D-Mark: I like especially the melody of these tracks. They provide a very interesting good vibe, perfect to use in the beginning of your sets. It’s definitely a great work!
Mark Eteson: Feeling the Sami Saari Magic Tuesday Mix, lovely groove to it!
Philippe Babin (DJ Preach): CID INC remix is just rocking. definitely supporting this one!
Mark Raybone (i:Vibes): Cool release, some great and diverse sounds from some very talented artists!
Micah Lukasewich: the cid inc and saari mixes are cool, but the beetseekers mix edges it with its nostalgic coolness
Heatbeat: beetseekrs remix!
Mike Dierickx (M.I.K.E): Cid Inc Sunday Rmx for me, cool prog electronic vibe
Vicky Devine: I like the different edge of the alternative mix
Marcus Schossow: Nice remixes from Cid Inc and Sami Saari !
