A new house club concept Fuj¡ starts this Friday at a fresh venue Kamikaze in the heart of Helsinki centrum. Me, JS16 and Peak will be headlining the opening night which is a startup of a weekly house club at Freda 48. The following weeks look promising with Funkstar De Luxe coming for a visit and the venue introducing a wide scale of Finnish house talents.

This Saturday sees the long awaited debut album release event of Super8 & Tab, the most successful Finnish trance duo. The parrrrty will take place at Virgin Oil with – naturally – Super8 & Tab headlining. Me and DJ Orkidea will do the backup.
Downstairs summer club Mixxed hosts Niko Geselle and Tony Profondo will take care of the proper vibe.
Super8&Tab will start at midnight and I’ll be doing the warmup 22-00 with a trancey state of mind.
I will also play a 2,5h set at the afterparty 05:00-07:30 at Playground on a way more tech-house/techno tip. If the evening wasn’t long enough, this might be a place to give a shot.
Good weekend coming up. Let’s get it on.

It was 2003 when John Digweed first visited Finland. Now he’s coming again.
Remember the video Screen Club made after the visit in 2003? It was state-of-the-art at that time and doesn’t look too bad today, either. I can’t believe it’s not on Youtube – seems like it’s up to you to put it there ;)
Here’s a direct link to the video anyway.

This Friday sees one of the most interesting club concepts in Helsinki in a while. Mysterious UU Theory brand puts up a party in Uunisaari, lightens up the whole island, throws in a full scale fireworks show and gathers together a club full of music enthusiasts.
The lineup includes me, Heikki L, Something Good boys and Tim & Tom. In case you missed it, the event also had a different but very fresh trailer and UU guys joined Heikki L and me in the studio and asked us to deliver a track for the night, which will see a full scale premiere at the club.
It’s Taiteiden Yö on Friday so in case you’re around, come join the fun. As I’m writing this, there should be still some tickets available. And for those of you looking for free-of-charge fun, the fireworks craziness starts at 22:00 and will be fully visible next to Uunisaari on Kaivopuisto side.

Dutch wonder Menno De Jong hits Helsinki’s Kaivohuone tonight. Lovetone, Luminescent and me will be doing the warmup (see the schedule below) and terrace should be open with laidback house vibes as the summer seems not to stop :) I’m really looking forward to the night – Menno is sure not to disappoint and it’s been ages I’ve last seen Luminescent perform and Lovetone’s new productions have been top quality, so that should be worth hearing too. BTW, check his brand new remix of Super8&Tab’s “Empire” – grreat stuff.
Schedule:
22:00 Lovetone
23:30 Luminescent LIVE
00:15 Orion
01:30 Menno de Jong
MONDAY-TUESDAY 2.8.-3.8.2010 – STUDIO DAYS W/ HEIKKI L
I bet it can’t get too easily as busy and exotic as this week is going to be. We started on Monday a two-day studio session with Heikki L, doing a cover/remake of an oldskool rave classic “Bizarre Inc – Playing With Knives” (video behind the link & embedded below). Feeling the early 90’s vibe? In addition to updating the rave piano riff to 2010, we also learned those dance moves, dressed up like MC Hammer and watched all seasons of Melrose Place.
WEDNESDAY 4.8.2010 – PLAYING AT 10000 PEOPLE SCOUT CAMP / JAMBOREE
On Wednesday, 4.8, I’ll head to the woods of Hämeenlinna where over 10000 boy- and girlscouts are having the biggest scout camp in Finland. The camp ends on Thursday and on Wednesday night there’s a biiig party where I was invited. In addition to me, Jangler from Ylivieska.org will take care of the breaks and beats. This must be among the most exotic gig experiences and I’m really excited to get there to enjoy the camp atmosphere and rave with the mosquitoes. You can find more information about the camp @ kilke.fi.
THURSDAY 5.8.2010 – ASSEMBLY RAVE @ HARTWALL AREENA
The exotic vibe continues on Thursday @ Helsinki’s Hartwall Areena. There’s an annual Assembly demo party, a demoscene and gaming event (see wikipedia), which gathers around 5000 attendees every year. I’ve never been in the middle of 5000 people madly excited about computers – which sounds like a crazy amount of glowing screens and endless sound of tapping keyboards. Where’s the survival guide?
For those needing a well earned break after sitting the whole day at their computers, there’s a three day rave party starting on Thursday at midnight. I’ll be starting the event full-on right after midnight, warming up the floor for DJ Proteus, who never needs any kind of a warm up ;) Thanks to Pasi @ Sequence for the invitation, let’s rave until the blue screen appears! More info about Assembly @ assembly.org
FRIDAY 6.8.2010 – BASS ATTACK @ VAAKUNA, MIKKELI
On Friday I’ll head to Mikkeli, which itself is exotic enough to fit to this week’s theme. The nice possé from Guru entertainment have been organizing a summer club @ Vaakuna and I’ll be headlining on Friday with a proper 2,5h set. The event will be held at Vaakuna, Facebook event is here. It’s actually my first visit to Mikkeli ever, looking forward to see the city and the nightlife. Come drop by if you’re around.
SATURDAY 7.8.2010 – FANTASIA @ TROPICLANDIA WATERPARK, VAASA
The travel continues on Saturday to Vaasa to finalize the exotic week with some über-exoticness. Fiksaatio possé have been doing some great parties during the past years, not only in Seinäjoki, but also in nearby cities and pulled some well earned attention towards them. Now, to end a memorably hot summer in Finland, Fiksaatio organizes a massive party “Fantasia” in a local spa/waterpark Tropiclandia with 15 top-class DJs and live acts (Alex Kunnari, Joonas Hahmo, Flight, Syna, OlliS, Ville Lope, Sami Saari…), 32C heat and a vibe to remember. Needless to say, the event is definitely something unique in the area and definitely worth checking, I’m really happy to have a possibility to be part of it. Check the official website or Facebook event for more info.

A busy weekend coming up. On Friday I’ll be playing at the ten year anniversary party of a local club related website Klubitus. For years Klubitus has been #1 information provider in Finland for anyone interested in club scene and its birthday is not only a gathering of like-minded people but also a get-together of DJs who normally don’t play at the same event. Legendary Art of Trance will be headlining. An eclectic and interesting night coming up.
On Saturday I’ll head to Bio Rex terrace to probably the best regular summer club event in Helsinki. Mixxed Discotheque has been running for some years now – every summer Saturday hosted by Tony Profondo and Niko Geselle – at the heart of Helsinki with really really nice views and happy atmosphere. Usually there are some queues, not a bad decision to come early – the party starts already at 19:00 and the terrace closes at 02:00. I’ll start my 1,5hours at 23:15 and Kimmo O, Aslak and the residents Tony and Niko take care of the rest.
