New Beatport

By Uncategorized2 Comments

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.

Jack turns five. This friday.

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Jack, Fifth Anniversary Party, front
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.

Jack, 17.01.2009, Redrum, Helsinki

DJ Orkidea Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana

By UncategorizedOne Comment

YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana 9.12.2008 on pari kuukautta sitten keikkatauolta palannut DJ Orkidea. Orkidea kertaa biisivierasosuudessaan loppuvuoden keikkakuulumiset ja laittaa ensisoittoon vastavalmistuneen remiksinsä Way Out Westin “Ajare”-klassikosta.

Biisivieras Tiistain Tanssi-illassa joka toinen viikko. DJ Orionin tunnilla klo 21-22 esittäytyvät vieraat kuuluvat Suomen elektronisen musiikin artistien kärkikaartiin ja tuovat ohjelmaan oman musiikillisen antinsa esittelemällä valitsemansa biisin.

Tiistain Tanssi-illassa mennään lähes koko ensimmäinen tunti trancen merkeissä. Ainoana housempana raitana käsittämättömän upea uusi raita Didolta pitkän linjan jenkkiremiksaajan käsittelyssä. Lisäksi lautasilla SignalRunners, SolarStone uuden albumin lemppariraitansa kanssa, PeakTwins, Oliver Smith, DJ Preach ja uusi biisi Super8 & Tab:lta.
Kurkkaa myös tietoa vuoden viimeisistä Tanssi-illoista.

Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

Short notes about music business #1

By UncategorizedOne Comment

If you are a musician and you think a radio show, podcast, DJ-mix or even p2p sharing is not benefiting your business in a long run, you are so not living in the 21st century.

—

[I wrote these notes originally by hand over a year ago, but they seem to have needed lots of time to take this form. Originally it was The Future Of Music book that inspired me to make these notes – the book is highly recommended. To find all these short notes, search this blog for “Short notes about music business”]

Rovaniemi & Kajaani

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Hello north!

Next Friday and Saturday I’ll head to North of Finland to join my fellow DJ Kaasi. We’ll play two six hour sets, on Friday in Rovaniemi and Saturday in Kajaani. I’m happy to return to Rovaniemi, which still feels like a second home and excited to see Kajaani nightlife which has according to the rumours gotten very very good during the past year.

I’m not a big fan of back2back sets, but Kaasi must be one of the very few with whom it’s 100% happily freaky experience, time after time. Kaasi is a true professional with a great sense of music and an awesome attitude – it must be soon five years we’ve been touring like this together and it just gets better every time.

Another interesting b2b gig is coming next spring, with a musically very challenging and interesting artist, this time in South of Finland. Hoping to tell more about it soonish.

Orion & Kaasi
Rovaniemi, 5.12.2008
Doris Night, Age:18, 22-04, 5EUR

Kajaani, 6.12.2008

Solarstone interview

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Here’s a short interview from Solarstone. Rich arrives to Finland to play 19th of December in Helsinki and 20th in Tampere.

01. This isn’t your first time in Finland. What kind of memories do you have from your previous visits?
Last time I played for Gatecrasher in Helsinki – that was awesome – but also last time I was there I produced a wicked track in the studio with Orkidea – possibly the nicest guy in Trance! Really looking forward to Read More
