DJs should be respected and treated as music supporters and promoters by the corporations.
Not as stealers and infringers.
Rather than us paying to the corporations, artist and copyright representatives should rather pay us for promoting their music. As this won’t ever happen, I would refer to my previous note: Music marketing is becoming equal to distribution.

DJs should have a right to promote music in all the possible ways (mp3 blogs, podcasts, radio shows).
We should not pay any additional fees (such as Teosto’s digital djing or any file conversion fees).
We buy our music. We pay to the artists. We should not pay to the corporations, who can’t meet the expectations of today’s music business.
We should not fear for additional fees or lawsuit when playing artist promos. (At the moment playing promos gotten directly from any Teosto member is a similar to playing illegally downloaded tracks)

Anything better in mind than taking a 1h 20min relaxing trip into deep, deep house? For the past year I’ve only compiled Radio 1 sets and left so-called artist mixes aside. As the holiday started and I had some extra time, I decided to gather together some of my deep house favs from 2008. I really enjoy good and moody deep house tracks even though I play sets like this very, very rarely. Consider it to be a small christmas present from me and if you like it, feel free to recommend it to your friend, too :)

Oh, and if you happen to have LOTS of extra time in your hands, try downloading the massive 1,5gb .zip-file which contains all the mixes made by Hungarian progressive guru Add2Basket in 2008. 1,5gb zip available here.

Monday morning and on a train back to Helsinki. The christmas holiday has started and as I wrote earlier, a lot was expected from the past weekend. And it was a blast!
Miscbehaving on Friday at Virgin Oil saw one of the coolest stage sets in a long time. Decos by Unity’s Markus, lights by Tea and Severi and Beige/Harmaa’s visuals from 14 oldskool computer monitors did their job. I played the first rhythms downstairs and enjoyed the truly deep vibe of the first two and half hours. At the main stage, Redanka played probably the finest proggy set I’ve heard in a long time. Driving, even technoish tracks, all new to me, spiced with a couple of classics and a stage charisma like no other.
Also, the give-away masks did their job and created a slightly miscbehaving vibe… ;)
DJs Ramses and Tutankhamon
On Saturday, a long waited season ending of Tampere-based One club was at hands. Flight & Uzu had really done fantastic preparations, the club was packed with oldskool faces and smiling newcomers all over Finland (at least Hämeenlinna, Lahti, Oulu, Turku, Helsinki represented). The atmosphere was high, people were enjoying and – I must have mentioned this before – there was a glimpse of the very original Tampere-fiilis(tm) around. I started the night with a technoish sound and moved then towards a bit more progressive house. See the full tracklist.
Claes Rosen – Mystify (Dinka remix) has really become the anthem of One and the reaction just before the midnight was stunning. I ended my set with Sami Saari’s remix of One Sunday, which proved to be a proper dancefloor tune, too.
Orkidea continued after me with strong progressive house tracks and dropped his new versions of Ajare and Two Full Moons And A Trout. Gareth Emery‘s remix of Metaverse still does its job and brought literally some tears in the eyes of some first row dancers. A good proof of a musically intensive night, huh? ;)
It was a pleasure meeting Solarstone finally in person, he is a truly a nice guy with a very professional attitude and a true magician behind the decks. I enjoyed his trance sound as it didn’t get too techy and according to the people’s reactions, the classics like Seven Cities and 3rd Earth were just the stuff they wanted to hear.
In just a couple of months, One has brought back something to Tampere scene what has been missing for years and has become one of the most interesting and promising new club concepts in whole Finland. I can’t wait for the upcoming season to kick off… :) Big thank-yous still to everyone who showed up – despite being busy very much the whole night it was very nice to have good chats with so many nice people, new faces and long-time-no-see oldskool ravers. We are One family! :)
P.S. Talking of my track One Sunday, I have some very good news release-wise. Read more here.

I’m happy to announce that my first track, One Sunday, has been signed to SolarStone’s Solaris recordings.
We have agreed publishing the original and all the remixes during the spring either on Solaris or one of its sub-labels. The remixes are all now done except Ville Lope’s proggy trance version, which should be finished early next year.
The final pack includes remixes from Beetseekers, Syna, Sami Saari, Cid Inc and Ville Lope, styles varying from tech-house to prog breaks, prog house and trance. The guys have done fantastic job and I’m very happy with the results not to mention getting a strong, good reputation owning label publish the whole pack.

YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan ekalla tunnilla jouluaatonaattona 23.12. otetaan katsaus trancen historiaan vuodesta 1991 vuoteen 2003. Kutakin vuotta edustamaan on valittu yksi kappale, joka heijastelee trance-soundin muutoksia 90-luvun alusta tähän päivään. Tunnin aikana kurkataan 90-luvun alun hypnoottiseen ja hitaaseen trance-soundiin, rave-ajan BPM-rajoja rikkoneeseen tiukempaan poljentoon, progehousen läpilyöntiin ja tietysti trancen kulta-ajaksikin kutsuttuun vuosituhannen vaihteeseen.

As I’m not in Finland on the New Year’s Eve, I consider this weekend the end-of-the-year party. And what a weekend it is! Starting on Friday, the Misc. Management organized event Extremely Miscbehaving takes over Virgin Oil. The night is hosted by DJ Orkidea, Mr.A warms up the floor and the foreign guests include Redanka, the very strong, oldskool and classic progressive talent and SolarStone, the man behind various excellent trance tunes.
On Saturday, SolarStone, Orkidea and me head to Tampere. It’s the season closing night for the local club One, which has grown to be one of the strongest club brands in the area. Flight and Uzu, the guys behind the club have been putting an enormous amount of time and thoughts for the concept and I’ve been happy to see a glimpse of the original Tampere-fiilis and easy-going and happy people always attending. The opening party was truly memorable and getting Jaytech to play in Tampere was one of my personal highlights of the past autumn. Can’t wait for this Saturday and the upcoming season… :)

What comes to music marketing, creating hype has always been essential.
DJs should not be seen as a bunch of criminals disrespecting copyright, but as an enormous and potential (but neglected) force of marketing.

Beatport will update January 21st, 2009 and gave a short preview of the features to come.
Finally – a playlist and a possibility for cueing tracks, a long waited feature. The sample seems to be divided to several areas. Is that a feature to listen several samples of the track like at DJDownload? And hopefully they’ve also added a feature to buy only a part of the tracks you’ve added to your cart.
It feels like it’s only a couple of months ago when Ian Ossia visited Jack on the club’s 4th birthday. This Friday Jack turns five and Jody Wisternoff from the Way Out West fame hits the decks. Jody is one of my long time favourites, not only because of his fantastic monthly podcast but also his Way Out West tracks, reaching back to ’97. From the local heroes, the original Jack residents DJ Orkidea and Lil’Tony join Jody to warm up the dance floor. Partyparty!
edit: Unfortunately Jody has cancelled his gig due to problems with his sciatic nerve (back pain, in plain English). Mr.A will be replacing and Jack will see all the original residents behind the decks.
On the January 17th Jack starts bi-monthly at Redrum. See the flyer below.
Music marketing is about exposure and discovery. DJs are benefiting both.
Music marketing will be equal to distributing. Not soon, but it will be.
