It’s a rare treat to get a guest mix invitation without a time limitation. It felt great to just pile up tunes, see what fits and go until it was a time to wrap it all up. Here’s a 2h 48min studio mix of tracks that I’ve been feeling the most lately. Some brand new, some waaaaay old, some of my own – all hopefully reflecting techno at its best, timeless.
Guest mix for RaversMag. Interview (in Spanish) here.

‘Today’s guest is the Finnish dj, producer and labelowner Orion.
Juska Wendland aka Orion is based in Helsinki, owns an amazing label called Absence Of Facts, is besides Techno also a producer for Downtempo and Ambient and hosts his own radio show every Friday 7 – 10 PM on Ylex, the Finnish National Radio.
I came across his work months ago, when i discovered one of his collaborations with the swedish mastermind Cari Lekebusch.
Orion just told me that they had a really good studio session in February – four 134-136bpm tracks are coming out in the upcoming months. He really enjoys working with him in a studio he said – this was the third time and as they both know now how they are used to work the tracks, it’s easy to just fire up the machines and get going.
His label Absence of Facts is going strong – Orion said: “I believe small indie labels have a lot of potential in the future, especially outside of mainstream music. AOF has lots of new releases in the pipeline – and I see the project is more than just a record label. I can channel all sort of arts out with the releases – the cover art is a series of abandoned places I’ve visited around the world and the video clips are series of experiments with After Effects.”‘
Title: Orion – Live @ Tivoli, Lahti 17.01.2015 [Live Series #34]
Description: Probably my least polished Live Series mix, but full of the right vibe. It has it all – some flaws, distortion, hecticness – but it most definitely doesn’t lack any energy. Amazing night in Lahti, really enjoyed going back to the 90’s techno vibes here.
Recorded with Zoom H6.

Check the first part, too.
A Strangely Isolated Place, a website, label and online community of ambient, chill-out and downtempo music, asked us (Orion & J.Shore) to make a mix for their Isolatedmix series. Isolatedmix is like Global Underground of the chill-out scene: artists like Ulrich Schnauss, Nick Warren, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Helios have contributed their own Isolatedmixes.
The mix is now online and streamable/downloadable on Soundcloud. It includes 18 tracks – mostly Scandinavian chill-out, some unreleased tracks and some tunes made exclusively for this mix only. I’m very happy of the result. I hope you enjoy it too.
Ryan from ASIP wrote a really nice introduction for the mix. You might want to check that out, too:
Like the massive spectrum of music in my head, Finnish brothers Orion and J.Shore usually sit at opposite ends on the music production front. Juska (Orion), grew up on the early 90′s hypnotic trance sound such as Cygnus X’s album “Hypermetrical” and Sven Väth’s “The Harlequin – The Robot And The Ballet-Dancer” and for the past five years has hosted a variety of electronic music on his National Finnish Radio show. In a vein I can very much relate to, these early 90′s records…
I’m really excited about this. The nice guys at DJ Mag asked me to do an official mix for their “DJ Mag presents” series. Because I’m working weekly quite radio friendly mixes for YleX, I decided to take a bit more undergroundish approach to this. Here’s a techno/house mix, which in my opinion is the best dancefloor orientated DJ mix which I’ve done in years. It’s a mixture of Helsinki’s Jack club’s sounds, the After Hours vibe and has been influenced a lot by the last 1,5 years in Berlin.
I hope you like it.

Happy New Year!
During the past weeks, there’s been several great downtempo/chill-out mixes from excellent DJs which have included our music, too. Here’s a short list. Happy listening!
Just before Xmas, Jaytech published a wonderful Winter Ambient mix which includes “The Night After”.
DJ Orkidea’s Christmas Piano mix is a great journey to some classic chill-out piano tracks and includes our “Sun” remix, too.
Another amazing mix from Jaytech with “White Birds” as the closing track.
Brilliant Spacemusic Podcast included “Architect’s Dream” on their Xmas episode.
And finally, Glass Coffee included “One Sunday” on his latest mix.

281 is a 4,5h chill-out mix, compiled during this autumn. It includes some of my favorite tracks from the past two years, a couple of classics and some Orion & J.Shore tracks, too. Musically, the vibe goes from ambient to downtempo and further to a bit more orchestral chill-out tunes in the end.
281 is a sequel for the “323” mix I did in late 2009. 323 was over 5h long and it’s still online in case you want to download and have a listen.
And if those two mixes – over nine hours of chill – aren’t enough, you can head to my “Ultimate chill-out/ambient playlist” at Spotify where over 2000 tracks of ambient/chill-out/downtempo are waiting to get played.
