Some news just out.
Prodigy’s new album is now ready. 11 tracks and the name is Invaders Must Die. No guest vocalists, but Dave Grohl appearing.
From Liam’s update note:
“its a band album mostly so we can play all the tunes live if we want. didnt want to have any guest vocalists on this record even though we did do 3 collabs but they didnt feel part of this record — they may come out later. dave grohl plays on run with the wolves, what a top lad he is . he approached me and we pulled that tune out the bag at last minute, fast ferocious tune with evil big electronic riff with keef on vocals.”
Kauan odotettu Gramexin DJ-sopimuksen uudistus on julkaistu.
Pähkinänkuoressa homma toimii näin:
– Jos soitat kokonaan digitaalisesti (esim. Serato Scratch ja vastaavat), maksat vain Gramexille tietyn listataksan.
– Jos ostat mp3:sia ja poltat ne CDille, maksat Gramexin lisäksi myös Teostolle.
– Jos rippaat vanhat vinyylisi CD:lle tai muuhun muotoon, maksat Gramexin lisäksi myös Teostolle.
– Jos lopetat maksamisen Gramexille, tulee sinun 24h kuluessa tuhota kaikki lisenssin piirissä olleet kappaleet: “Vuosilisenssin voimassaolon päätyttyä ei sen nojalla lisenssoituja ja valmistettuja tallenteita saa enää käyttää ja tallenteet tulee hävittää vuosilisenssin päättymispäivän kuluessa.”
– Jos käytät Seratoa ja sinulla on käytössäsi 3000:n raidan lisenssi, joudut raportoimaan käytössäsi olevat kappaleet Gramexille: “Valittaessa lisenssimalli DJ–D (3000 uraa), tulee käytettävät ja kopioitavat äänitteet ja niiden urat raportoida yksilöidysti Gramexille.”
Alta löytyy listaus mitä jokaisesta 3000 raidasta tulee eritellä:
Hyvää päivää. Eikö DJ-sopimuksen uudistamisen pitänyt tuoda Gramex 2000-luvulle? Olisi hauska tietää, kuinka moni DJ ryntää nyt tekemään 3000 raidan sopimuksen ja kirjoittaa tarvittavat tiedot kolmestatuhannesta raidasta. En lisäksi löytänyt mistään tietoa, kuinka ko. sopimus päivitetään; Tarvitseeko joka kerta musiikkia ostettaessa eritellä Gramexille ostettujen uusien biisien tiedot?
iTunes ja monet muut digitaaliset musiikkikaupat eivät tarjoa lähellekään tarvittavia tietoja kappaleista, joten homma on melkoinen. Teen aina Tanssi-illan yhteydessä jokseenkin samanlaisen raportoinnin 10-12 kappaleesta, johon kuluu aikaa noin puoli tuntia. Karkeasti arvioituna 3000 kappaletta vaatisi 150 tuntia eli lähes 19 täyttä työpäivää.
Vaikka Gramex ja Teosto ajavatkin eri asioita, on siinä (DJ:n ja musiikin esittäjän mielestä) yksi etujärjestö liikaa. Gramexissa ei näytä olevan oikeasti teknologian ja DJ:n arjen näkökulmasta ajan tasalla olevia päättäjiä ja Teosto kerää jo musiikin esittämisestä tuloja moneen otteeseen. Tällainen käytäntö on ainutlaatuinen ainakin Euroopassa. Yksinkertainen kysymys edelleenkin kuuluu: miksi maksaisin tästä?
Gotten pretty fed up with Jaiku, I decided to give Twitter a try instead. If you’re a user, let’s come together (in sweet harmony) :)

The host of “Biittinikkarit” program at Radio Moreeni interviewed me a couple of days ago and kindly also sent the interview as an mp3-file. We were chatting about the current state of electronic music in Finland, clubs in Helsinki and Northern Finland, the upcoming One Sunday track and other stuff.
If you feel like listening, get an mp3 copy or download it via podcast.
The Evergreen section is now fully updated. It’s a short.. or actually a bit longer story of the evergreen moments of early Tampere scene, years in Northern Finland and recent times in Helsinki. It includes lots of links to videos, photos, articles and websites, feel free to browse them through.
And – if you happen to have any related memories, photos or videos or if you just want to share the nostalgia, there’s a comment box in the end of the post.
Now – check Evergreen!
MiscBehaving hits RoseGarden for the third time this weekend. The concept is based on an idea, that all the Misc artists bring their chosen artists in, host the night and choose the sound. November’s Miscbehaving is hosted by me and the chosen guests are…
Dave Dresden. The man from the Gabriel&Dresden fame and a very rare sight on a gig in Europe. Truly a master of music and responsible of several classics like As The Rush Comes and remix of Rachel Starr’s Till There Was You. I’m happy to have him finally in Helsinki.
Joonas Hahmo. One of the most promising Finnish acts, Joonas is definitely the man of the moment. Not playing too often in Helsinki, Joonas takes the final slot to end the night with a style. And yes, good news just in – Joonas will soon perform his first live gig at this year’s Pacifique event.

Jody Wisternoff on tinnitus:
“It was after a gig in Slovenia during the summer of ’06. I DJed at an outdoor party and I distinctly remember removing a piece of gaffer tape that was stopping the master level going any higher. I took it off and boosted the level to the max because I was playing really quiet, un-mastered track that needed some extra power. After that I just left it up and forgot about it, such was my drunken state. The monitors must have been blasting extra loud, not to mention the PA. I went straight to an afterhours club and played another set, where I stayed until the early morning. When I left, I remember thinking my ears were ringing more than usual, but didn’t really care because this was normal after a gig and the ringing always stopped the next day. When I woke the next afternoon I could still hear the ringing, but still assumed it would soon pass, however, the next day it was still there. And the next day… By this stage I was starting to get a little anxious and I was beginning to pay a lot of attention to the sound in my head.”

I’m happy to announce that the new version of my website is now ready. It’s been over two years (equals nearly forever in internet :) since the website got its last major update and I’m very pleased with the new one. I’d also love to hear your comments – and if you find any bugs or things which don’t look good, please let me know.
Infected Mushroom hits Helsinki for the third time this Saturday. The party will be held at Suvilahden Voimala, which has also been the home of Flow Festival in the past years. The main act will be supported by quite a bunch of domestic DJs including Eliot Ness, Milla Lehto, Indigo, Casper and several more. I’ll be starting up the madness at the main floor with a laid-back prog/psy/technoish set, see you there!
For more information about the event, visit www.neohelsinki.fi
Oh, see a short video clip from IM’s performance in Helsinki 2007.
Jack is back after a short break, turning five and being as nasty and stubborn yet adorable as a five-year-old can be. The fifth anniversary birthday guest is Jody Wisternoff from the Way Out West fame, one of my early musical heroes and a guy who still keeps delivering. His podcast is a great example of his wide music taste and abilities as a DJ, make sure to subscribe :) The domestic sound of the night will be taken care by the long-time Jack residents DJ Orkidea and Lil’Tony.
Check the flyers above and below to get more information or simply click yourself to Klubitus event page.
This is also the last Jack event at Kuudes Linja. In 2009, Redrum will give Jack a new home. Exciting times ahead…
Juha Sompinmäki shot some excellent photos @ One event last weekend. The gallery is now online at ONE website and the final ONE event lineup has also been published.
On Saturday, 20.12. ONE will present SolarStone on his RainStarsEternal tour, DJ Orkidea for the first time in Tampere after his gig break and myself warming up the head honchos.
If you’re not familiar with SolarStone’s music, head to MixTube’s SolarStone playlist and have a listen. In order to say tuned with the upcoming ONE news, join to the ONE Facebook Group.
I’ll take a break for a day or two and prepare for Oulu’s Age of Love event held in Radisson SAS next Saturday. I have great memories from the events held there back in the day and I’ve heard only good of the previous Age of Love events, too so the expectations are high :) If you’re anywhere close to Oulu and into Psy-trance, trance, hard-nrg or techno, this should be something to check. I’ll be playing at 22:45-00:15 in the main room.
Catch you soon!

The second One event is happily behind. 350 people shared the great atmosphere and the Australian guest seemed to enjoy a lot, despite a bitter defeat against the Finnish national techno bowling team on Sunday afternoon ;)
Aki A. warmed up the floor nicely and got the hands in the air with the last uplifting tracks like OneWorld – Isla Blanca. Jaytech continued with his trademark sound, played a superb set and ended it with Hawk – Out Of Nowhere (Joonas Hahmo remix) and Jaytech & Matt Rowan – Tomorrow, which seemed to be the highlights for the crowd, too. I played the last set on a bit more trancey tip and the Tampere audience was once again truly amazing. Moguai – “U Know Y” (Starecase remix) was one of my own favourites, not least because of the fitting “You Are The Lucky ONEs” lyrics. See the full tracklist below.
Thumbs up for the One promoters Uzu & Flight for keeping the quality high and making fresh and bold decisions concerning the lineups. Actually (and partly sadly, too) I can’t remember when a progressive style foreign artist would have visited Tampere last time. Jaytech proved that you don’t need big-room style trance jocks in order to attract melodic electronic music loving crowds and that energetic and intensive music doesn’t go hand-in-hand with high BPMs.
One takes a break until December and returns with Orkidea and Solar Stone on 20.12.2008. See you!
P.S. Good news concerning the One Sunday track. The remixes are now ready and I received the final version from Toni from Syna trio only a couple of minutes before the start of my set at One. Below is the video of very first play of the track, judge it yourself. My apologies for the kiksusormi ;)
