Kaninkolo live set

Hi all!
Finally managed to upload the live recording of the set I played at the Kaninkolo party (which I mentioned earlier on). Hopefully you'll like it!

Check it!

Comments are, as always, more than appreciated.

Down the rabbit hole

Saturday night I ventured deep into underground Helsinki to play a set at a warehouse party by the name of Kaninkolo. The party was absolutely awesome and the venue was really something else, I didn't have very high expectations about it but it totally blew me away.
I played the first set of the night, but since this wasn't your run of the mill party at a club, people were dancing pretty early on. I started of with some (modern) house, played some tech house and ended with some straight up techno. The best tune of my set was Umek's rework of Hablando, which I dropped in just when Umek's Work This Data went off, and people really went crazy for it.
Absolutely great party, thanks to everyone who made it happen, and hope people enjoyed the brownies we brought with us.

Thrash the disco

Whoa! The E16V party was, as I predicted, really great. We were pretty happy with our set, even though we had some problems with MIDI-syncing and the power went out at a point, luckily we could finish our set after about five minutes of silence. People seemed to like our set, as well as the party overall. The other artists seemed interesting too, but I didn't really spend that much time on the dance floor, so the only set I partially heard was Boxcutter's.
As promised, I'll try to get the recording of our set online later this week, as soon as I get hold of it myself.
Thanks to everyone who showed up!

Parrrrrrrrrtytime!

It's about time to leave for our sound check at the E16V party. Although the venue is pretty small, it's gonna be a absolutely massive party!
I'm really looking forward to our set, did some last minute rehearsal at the studio earlier today and it was awesome. The music is gonna be pretty eclectic, but proper party stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to post a live recording of our set sometime next week.

Drei tage wach everybody!

PS. that bonus track I posted last time should give you a pretty blatant clue to one of the track's that we've been working on

Diesel

Last week I got a phone call from Marika, who's in charge of Diesel's marketing in Finland. She asked me to come and play at their in-store event, and I was happy to say yes. So tonight I'm bringing Upi with me to the Diesel store to play some quality indie-electro/indie-rock/nu-disco kind of sounds.
Thought I'd share some of the tracks I'm gonna play tonight.

The XX - Shelter (Death To The Throne Remix)


Vampire Weekend - The Kids Don't Stand A Chance (Chromeo Remix)


Bloc Party - Ares (Telemitry Remix)



Plus a really random bonus track, the original version of Sunglasses at Night by Corey Hart, made famous (at least in some circles) by Tiga & Zyntherius.

Funkyzeit

The three gigs I had last week were quite good compliments to each other. Wednesday @ Nude was a pretty chilled out affair, and Thursday's live set @ Kuudes Linja was the best of the bunch, it was really nice to get the chance to play our live material at a bigger venue than usual (thanks Samu!), and everyone I talked to seemed to like our set, so perhaps we'll get more chances to play in the future. Friday's Halloween Horror Bash @ Playground was absolutely packed, I think they broke the previous attendance record. We played for about 3,5h with Upi (quite the sight in our Joker + Pikachu outfits, maybe some pictures later on), starting of with minimal and techno, then dropping some dubstep and finishing of with some drum and bass. I particularly enjoyed playing the dnb, and managed to squeeze in some rougher tunes as well.
Three tunes for you today, the first being the reason for this post title. This Dolphins remix of Broombeck's The Clapper is a really funky and grooving tune (perfect summer tune as well). The second track is one of my own, entitled The Howl, quite a bit on the techno side. The third and final tune is Subfocus' Triple X, a track I had heard I while back, but had no idea who's track it was. Now I know.

Clap clap clap


Bloom - The Howl



Ready to pump it up, move it to the beat don't stop

Busy busy

Whoa, it sure is gonna be a busy week gigwise. I'll be playing a short tech house set at INDWT @ Nude this Wednesday, then a live set at Robotnik @ Kuudes Linja on Thursday (my set starts at 22:00, be there!) and finally a b2b all-nighter with Upi at Emperatron's Horror Bash @ Playground on Friday (of course Upi is also playing at both of the aforemention events as well :P).
Looking forward to Friday's gig, gonna have the opportunity to play a longer set and mix up styles and genres a bit. We're planning to play a bit of techno and tech house stuff, some dubstep and we're even gonna be rinsing some proper drum and bass. The main room will be delivering the usual wobble and fidget sounds of Emperatron. The place will most likely get totally packed. I'm also working on a costume for Friday, since after all, it is Halloween (free entry all night long with a costume btw).
Thursday's live gig is also something I've been looking forward too for a while. Nice to get the chance to play at a bit bigger venue than usual, hopefully there will be some people there although we're playing pretty early.

See you around, gonna head to the studio in a bit to work on some stuff for our new live project, more on that later, I'll just mention I personally think it's complete sickness!

Oh, and here's something for your hearing pleasure, you didn't think I'd skip out on audio content now did you?
