DJ Kaippa, one of the true oldskool jocks of Finland has opened a new website. The site includes some kick-ass photo content like this shot of JS16 and some very, very old flyers from the Club Berlin era in Helsinki.
Acieed!
Short clips of all the remixes + original.
Full length versions also available.
YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan ensimmäinen Biisivieras vuodelle 2009 on tuttu niin psy-trancen kuin teknonkin piireistä. Nimillä Paul Easy ja DJ Poliisi esiintyvä miekkonen nostaa lautaselle tuoreen Planetaria Recordsin julkaisunsa ja kertoo residentin kuulumiset helsinkiläiseltä Clinic-klubilta.
Tiistain Tanssi-illassa lämmitetään uudelleen vanhat hitit Age of Love, Saints & Sinnersin Pushin’ Too Hard, Kings of Tomorrown Finally ja Jean Michel Jarren Oxygene 8, kuunnellaan uutta Jaytechiä, Darudea, Nitrous Oxydea ja Henrik B:tä ja tsekataan alkuvuoden musauutiset.
Tune in. Nyt tiistaina klo 21-22

Lately I’ve been listening a lot of “Best of 2008” mixes. What’s been a very positive surprise, is that they contain many many tracks of which I haven’t heard anything during 2008.
If several DJs rate dozens of unknown tracks (unknown to me, at least) as their Best of 2008, what does it tell?
Rather than getting depressed of not listening enough music or finding those tracks in time, I’m feeling excited. Today it’s easier than ever to play your unique sound, find tracks of which nobody has ever heard and play them the whole year and still they are unique tracks for someone.
It also tells that there’s just SO much music to crawl into. Why would anyone still stick to tracks released only during the past two weeks or browse through Beatport’s TOP 10 sales charts? It just feels more meaningless than ever.
Is this how Long Tail affects DJing?
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy…
Jack moves to Redrum and kick-starts the spring season this Saturday with handful of frrresh Helsinki-based house jocks.
Jack is also part of Helsinki Techno City which combines the clubs of Mr.A, Lil’Tony, Eliot Ness and DJ Orkidea under one roof.
Check the event details from Klubitus or Facebook and join the dance on Saturday.
P.S. Mark your calendar for Super Jack, 21.03.2009…
Mä oon yrittänyt olla alun hip-hop-vuosien jälkeen vähän avarakatseisempi eri tekniikoiden suhteen. Soitin aikanaan puritaanisesti ainoastaan 12-tuumaisia vinyyleitä, jotka oli painettu Amerikoissa, enkä mitään muuta. Mulle DJ-touhussa ei nykyisin ole väliä millä soitan, vaan mitä mä soitan.

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 :)
Download here:
DJ Orion – Long Shadows (1h 20min deep house)
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.
