By UncategorizedNo Comments

I’m really looking forward to this weekend in Northern Finland. It’s been already a year I last visited Rovaniemi and I can’t wait get back to the old hoods :) Friday will be spent at Doris in Rovaniemi hosted by Helmi (Facebook event) and Saturday is for returning back to Kalajoki after summer to the Sunburn Winter Event at Dyyni (Facebook event).
Good stuff. See you all there :)
Oh yeah, here’s a video from last year’s trip. Snow and lots of weirdos :)

P.S. Below is a Rovaniemi&Kalajoki TOP3 chart from all of us. Check it ouuut. Read More

Tiistain Tanssi-ilta 1998-2009

Tiistain Tanssi-ilta

Alla lyhyt tiedote YleX:n uudistuksista vuodelle 2010 koskien Tiistain Tanssi-iltaa. Mikäli muutokset ihmetyttävät tai harmittavat, suosittelen suuntaamaan edes parin lauseen asiallisen palautteen tiedotteen lopussa oleviin sähköpostiosoitteisiin.

TIISTAIN TANSSI-ILTA 1998-2009

YleX uudistaa tarjontaansa vuodeksi 2010, ja vuodenvaihteessa kanavan ohjelmistosta poistuu myös syksyllä 1998 startannut Tiistain tanssi-ilta. OlliS, DJ Orion, Jori Hulkkonen ja DJ Infekto jatkavat ensi vuonna vuoroviikoin ja entistä puheliaampina maanantai-illoissa tunnin ohjelmapaikalla.  Klubimusiikin osuus on air –ohjelmistosta vähenee siis kolmesta yhteen tuntiin viikossa.

Palautetta voi lähettää ohjelmapalaute@yle.fi (josta palautteet menevät myös yleisötutkimuksen tietoon) ja/tai YleX:n musiikki- ja kanavapäälliköille, satu.keto-kantele@yle.fi ja tomi.saarinen@yle.fi

Misc. Management winter 2009 update & New Finnish talent in the house

By UncategorizedNo Comments

Dear friends and night life lovers!
Here is a short recap of what we Misc boys have been cooking this year, which was one of our busiest yet… We feel we want to share and thank you all for being a part of these great memories. Knowing when to say yes and when to say no is something we have gotten better at with age and experience. And my my my how many yesses had to be said in 2009!


JACK – Rocking Redrum

We joined Orkidea as the co-producers of Jack’s new beginning at Redrum. Line ups went from the new and old school DJ’s of Finland, to great legends of the world and one solo set by Orkidea. The nights turned out to be some of this year’s hottest, sweatiest and funnest parties in Helsinki. We will be closing our first JACK year with the biggest birthday party to date! Redrum will be headlined by Dave Seaman and the afterparty at Playground by Jody Wisternoff on the 21.11.2009!!!


CULTIVATE – Online TV Show

An online show about what’s bubbling under (and pouring out of the champagne glasses) in Helsinki was issued for Basso TV and Diesel. Oded Peled got dressed up with La Persé, beaten up on Vappu and left thirsty at Helsinki Design Week…

Check the episodes on the Diesel site: http://www.diesel.com/cult/cultivate/


LOVE – Brings us all together…

LOVE arrived in the summer. A fresh approach of building a club concept taught us so much and brought us light… Although there have only been 2 amazing parties to date, it feels as if a complete book could be written about the process of falling in love and the experiences it gave to people involved in it.

Pictures, videos and love stories can be found at : http://www.lovehelsinki.fi


DANCE. HERE. NOW. – All over the country

The club concept was planned to spread the sounds and vibes of our artists all over the country… And so it did. Our trips to Kouvola, Kajaani, Tampere, Kuopio, Joensuu, Hanko, Rovaniemi and Kalajoki have given us some great experiences and a deeper understanding of the club scene in Finland. A big thank you for dancing right there and then!!!


EXTREMELY MISCBEHAVING – Orkidea and his DJ Heros

Another fabulous night with Orkidea and friends at the packed Helsinki Club… A smooth musical journey downstairs and an upstairs filled with new DJ Heros. The after-party at Playground was hosted by Orion and kept you dancing till the morning light. Extreeeeeemely fun !

Check out the pictures of the event from here:
http://www.sessions2.com/galleries.php?gallery_id=355


DJ BOOKINGS – If you book them, they will come.
* Pete Tong and Paul Oakenfold at Love
* Kenny Carpenter and David Morales at Ihana
* Rob di Stefano, Alan Braxe and Chris Lake at Danceteria
* Smokin Jo at Pussy
* Nick Warren, Matthew Dekay, Gavyn Mytchel, Dave Seaman and Jody Wisternoff at Jack
* Ian Ossia and Andy Moor at Extremely Miscbehaving
* Alfredo at Pacifique
* Leama at Clinic
* Niklas Harding at One
* Freemasons at Dance. Here. Now. Joensuu

See them all: http://www.misc.fi/djlist.php

NEW TALENT – DJ Flight is in the House!
We are very happy to announce that DJ Flight has joined our team and DJ Roster. Bringing big smiles and huge sounds to the people is what he is all about, so it feels natural for him to join the Misc family… Check out his hot looks and groovy selection here : http://bit.ly/flightmisc

ORKIDEA 23 HOUR SET – 2010, Here we come!
As if only to keep the bar very high, the first day of 2010 will start with a historical event, when Orkidea will play the longest set in his life. A 23 hour supermegamarathon at Redrum and Copacabana. Probably and possibly the last time something like this happens in Finland. Unless some other nutcase does it :)

A big thank you to all of you, that came and made the nights unforgettable… We hope to share more nights together with you.

Oded, Asaf, Juska and Marko

DJDownload.com closes (or does it?)

By UncategorizedNo Comments

DJDownload.com closes its doors. That’s sad. Here’s an email I got into my hands:

“Dear Label Partner
It is with great regret that we have to inform you that DJdownload Limited has been placed into administration by the Directors of the company effective today.

The Directors have worked extremely hard over the past few months to try and save the company: overheads were reduced and attempts to increase revenues were made but ongoing efforts to raise further finance were unsuccessful. Despite their best efforts the company was not able to continue to trade.

We would like to thank you for your support and business over the years and we wish you all the best in the future.

If you have any questions with regard to UNPAID ROYALTIES from DJDownload Limited please contact:

Marguerite Webster – Case Administrator at Bridge Business Recovery
E-mail: marguerite.webster@bridgebr.co.uk
Phone: +44 207 025 6139

Yours sincerely
Justin Pearse”

Now let me predict – Beatport.com will raise their prices within one year.

Edit (06.11.2009): It seems the story is not over. About 24h after the first news, Juno has acquired DJDownload. If anyone has an official link, please post it below.

DJ Orion & J.Shore productions update

By UncategorizedNo Comments

DJ Orion & J.Shore productions news, winter 2009

Mango, Orion, J.Shore – Raining In Osaka (DJ Orion & J.Shore remix) (Silk Sofa) will be coming out finally early next year (Jan/Feb). The original was released last spring (check the full package incl samples), but our nearly 9 minute chill-out remix found a good home on Silk Sofa sampler and we believe all the wait was definitely worth it. This is also our first release on Silk label group and hopefully a good start of a good and long relationship.

J.Shore and me will be collaborating again with Mango and the new track see the daylight early next year. Mango, Orion, J.Shore – When All The Ships Are Gone (Mango Alley Recordings) is originally one of the Goodbye Earth EP tracks (see below), now put into progressive house form with two mixes – Main Mix and Shoreliners Remix. I will post a preview on my website soon. This is a sequel to our Raining In Osaka collaboration and even the official release is stll far away, I’m excited about this.

DJ Orion & J.Shore – Goodbye Earth EP (Silk Sofa) was a project we started with my brother last summer. It’s a three track chill-out EP which was originally made in Tampere and finally tweaked in Southern Germany. There is a YouTube video sample if you’re into listening. At the moment it seems there will be a remix EP, too – but I’ll post more details when things get confirmed.

Also, we’ve just finished a remix of Ralphie B’s trance classic Massive. It’s an unofficial remix, full-on 97bpm chill-out (what a combo! ;), a fresh approach to one of my all-time-favourite trance tracks with strings, massive drums and woodwinds.

And finally, our next one, DJ Orion & J.Shore – Brotherhood (Lost Language) will be out on 23.11. More about that on the official newsletter.

Pete Tong interview

Pete Tong states:

“Well I’ve always said that when Acid House was happening in the say 1987, it was like the equivalent of Punk in how it affected rock n roll and progressive rock that went before it. A lot of people, therefore, don’t remember anything before punk and I think the same goes for dance music, a lot of people just wipe the slate clean and that nothing existed before raves came along and those types of parties.”

A really interesting Pete Tong interview – Where did it all go Pete Tong?!?

Jori Hulkkonen talks about fame

Jori Hulkkonen about fame:

“Sure enough there’s a lot people who never were “big”, but are they still working? Releasing albums, singles, getting remix requests and DJing all over after 15 years? No. But I am. And this I see as my greatest achievement and there’s a lesson to be learned everyone: If you never become trendy it’s impossible for you to become untrendy.”

The whole interview/article is worth reading. Check also his latest album, Man From Earth.
