Visiting Teosto

By Uncategorized4 Comments

I’ll be visiting Teosto (Finnish equivalent to RIAA, roughly speaking) next Monday morning. Me and Miika Kuisma were invited to talk about the possible changes to their DJ licensing policy and to update their knowledge of today’s electronic music culture. Excited? Yes.

I’ve gone through loads to critical posts I’ve written in the past, polished arguments and written stuff down. Still, I’m very very open to all the comments or greetings all you electronic music lovers have. Feel free to drop any thoughts to the comment box below.

Agnelli & Nelson Tiistain Tanssi-illan Biisivieraana

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Tänä tiistaina YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana on Turun Chooned-tapahtumaan 14.2. saapuva brittiduo Agnelli & Nelson. Jo yli 12 vuoden ajan tranceskenessä vaikuttanut pohjois-irlantilainen kaksikko kertoo kuulumiset ahkeran keikkailun keskeltä ja pyöräyttää kappaleen verran omaa trademark-soundiaan.

Agnelli & Nelson starttaa Tanssi-illan ulkomaalaisten biisivieraiden sarjan. Ulkomaiset DJ:t tarttuvat Tanssi-illan mikkiin vielä neljästi kevään ja tulevan kesän aikana.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

Viva La Vida remixed.

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Greetings from Tampere. It’s Saturday evening and I just got back from the Hatanpää studios. After a long day, Flight & Jontey and I got a remix of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida pretty finished (see the video below for the original).

It still needs some polishing and tweaking, but I’m super excited of the result. It’s a prog-housey, groovy eight-minute tune with three breakdowns, three different basslines and a fresh structure combining several layers of strings with vocals of Chris Martin.

I’ll post a clip or two to this blog soonish. Viva La Vida!

Important LPs of electronic music

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Danceblogga lists a very strong selection of important LPs of electronic music. If you have Spotify, I recommend to add all of those you can find to a single playlist and press play. Pure bliss for a day or two.

“I’ve compiled a list of my 30 “D’essential” long-players of the e-music era, which I define as roughly 1989 to now. I use 1989 as a starting point because it marks the rave explosion in England and the largely British ideal that electronic dance music could transcend the 12-inch and master the album format.”

Trainspotter’s heaven

Trainspotter’s heaven:

“Ever been to a club and heard a DJ drop a great record that afterwards you were desperate to name? Or ever listened to a DJ mix and felt compelled to track down that bomb from 00.15.36? Yes, we have too. That’s why we’ve decided to launch a brand new Track ID section on Beatportal, which we’re calling BeatDetect.”

Jack – It’s Super Jack!

By UncategorizedNo Comments

”In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box Jack boldy declared,
Let there be HOUSE!
and house music was born.”


IT’S SUPER JACK !!!.

The Prodigy – Omen

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Video of the new single, Omen.

This doesn’t sound bad at all! The hook rocks, vocals are not-that-prodigy-style but sound fresh nevertheless. Looking forward to the whole album, 4/5.
