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.

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.

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

YleX:n Tiistain Tanssi-illan biisivieraana 25.11.2008 kuullaan tamperelaista Ville Lopea, joka DJ-puolella tunnettiin aiemmin Loopy-aliaksella. Lope on Tampereen aktiivisimpia progressiivisen trance-soundin sanansaattajia ja kunnostautunut syksyn mittaan erityisesti artistirintamalla useiden julkaisujen voimin. Biisivieras-biisinä tampereen suunnalta kuullaan vastavalmistunut remix ja samalla viimeisimmät kuulumiset Villen studion suunnalta.
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 lisäksi 16 Bit Lolitas, Sasha, Mango, Claes Rosen, Dennis Sheperd, viikon klassikko ja musauutiset.
Kurkkaa myös tietoa vuoden viimeisistä Tanssi-illoista.

Here are a couple of Finnish Radio 1 aka YleX Tiistain Tanssi-ilta updates for the rest of the year.
Remaining featured artists aka Biisivieraat include Ville Lope 25.11. and DJ Orkidea 9.12, both playing their soon-to-be-released new material and sharing the hottest rumours ;) Highly recommended.
My last Tiistain Tanssi-ilta of the year, 23.12. is all about Trance Chronology 1991-2003. 13 selected trancey tracks from the past 13 years, one track per year, in one hour. The tracks are already chosen and it’s truly a journey through different trends of electronic music in all its good and… ummh… not-so-good :)
If you feel like, drop a line to the comments and tell which one track would you choose to represent the sound of 2001? Or 1993? Or any year. It’s not easy, yet fun to think about.
My first Tanssi-ilta of 2009 will be traditional “Best of 2008”. ( Jaytech and Dinka for one hour ;) Tune in after the xmas holidays 6.1.2009 and listen what was hot in 2008.
Nice guys at Finger Lickin’ sent me a copy of Lee Coombs’ awesome track Future Sound of Retro 2008 taken from the 10-Years of Finger Lickin’ album. With a permission from the guys to share the track forward, here’s a link to an mp3-file.
Check the full album details at Amazon and check the sci-fi flick of another album release, Soul of Man – Dizzy Heights, below.

Impulse returns after a long break to celebrate its six year birthday this Saturday. The event truly has an eclectic lineup, including house, progressive, trance, psy-trance and hard-nrg. Combining such an amount of styles reminds me from the old days when club events (or raves) were advertised as electronic music events, rarely mentioning only one style or music genre on the flyer.
Lahti also has a strong history as a city of hardstyle music events and I’m expecting the party get totally loose when the BPMs go up.
I’ll be playing between Anton Sonin & AMX and Poliisi, 23:00-24:00. See you on the dance floor :)
P.S. Check Impulse’s website, lots of interesting details and facts with a nice magazine-style layout.
And for the event details, see Klubitus.
Bad news. Club Diiva event in Åbo Diskotek, Turku has been cancelled due to the financial problems of the venue. This is a very sad situation, not only because it’s the first gig I’ve ever needed to cancel during the past ten years, but also knowing that the promoters are super nice and I’d never wished something like this to them. This is already the second club night in Turku suffering of sudden cancellations during this autumn, I’m hoping this won’t become a trend.
My best wishes to all Turku clubbers and Diiva possé – I hope we can make the event happen in the near future.
Our local hero Heikki L has opened a new website. Nice flash layout and cool features, but for heavy users an RSS feed wouldn’t do any bad. I’ve been a couple of very rocking videos from Heikki’s gigs – why aren’t they on the site? Add some interaction like a shoutbox or guestbook and I would be satisfied. My five cents :)
