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?

It took some time for me to come back and post a track or two. So much to do in so little time. Some of my club nights are being born or dying for reasons I can't say here. The evil plan of mine is still working: We all (me and my dear DJ fellows) are making it bigger and conquering the Helsinki scene rapidly! I say: "Kings of tomorrow we can be." That is the reason for posting this timeless Ibiza classic:
Whatever happens, the nineties won't ever be out of fashion. This song is a real bomb every time I hear it. It was one of the things that defined the essence of electronic dance music. This was made in 91 when I was just a little boy. I sometimes say that "why couldn't I be born ten years earlier?"
Enjoy!

Just a quick Friday morning update. Hele has uploaded a re-recording of the set he played at our last Doppler night.
Hope you like it, stay tuned for more Doppler related news and happening. The tracklist (as well as Hele's profile) can be found here.
Enjoy your weekend!

Whoa, busy busy week for me, with the DJ course going down and all. I've been really pleased with the two sessions we've had so far, everything's running along smoothly.
On another note, the Doppler Duo is taking over INDWT at Nude tonight (although you could argue that it's technically not a takeover since Upi is one of INDWT's resident DJ's). However, the sound is gonna be totally different from the Doppler sound you're used to hearing at Loop. I will mostly be playing some sort of indie electro, and possibly some drum & bass to end my set.
So here's a few tracks to showcase the sound. The first one is a preview of a track I've been working on for a live set we're going to perform in about one month, so bare with me since it's quite unfinished. The second one is a track by Alan Braxe and Kris Menace called Lumberjack, absolute smasher.

New bloods
Entropy has organized several dj courses for future bassheads interested in learning how to mix, and right about now it's time for the next installment. Yesterday was the evening for the participants to come to our clubroom and enroll (as well as get some free skumppa). Our previous courses had been pretty popular, but nothing prepared me for the veritable landslide of people that happened. When I left, 28 people had signed up, breaking our previous numbers by almost threefold.
I really enjoy teaching, so even though I'll have to use most of my spare time the next few weeks to teach the ropes to these future Klocks, High Contrasts and van Buurens, I'm really looking forward to it.
The course is separated into four sessions, the first two discussing vinyl mixing (and Serato as well), the third one discussing CD-mixing and the last one covering Ableton Live as well as some potential other stuff (depending on what the participants want). If you have any thoughts on how a course like this should be run, feel free to leave some comments about it.
On another note, here's a track I might have to play at Doppler tonight, some proper late night party business. Hope to see lots of people there tonight!

I've managed to recover from last week's jungle madness, so it's time for something new. I'm really excited about this new live project I'm involved in with my friend Valtteri (from our Bloom Live act) and Tommi from Kitkaliitto. We're gonna be playing at Entropy's 16th birthday party in approximately one month, can't wait!
I might post some samples of what our sound is like once we get something recorded, but I already have a feeling it's gonna be massive.
On another note, our second installment of Doppler is fast approaching. Come join us at Bar Loop this Thursday (8.10.2009), from 20-02. Joining me and Upi are DJ's Opa and Hele. Looking forward to some quality deep house from Hele and techno from Opa. I will most likely be playing some minimal, but we'll see what I'll come up with.
I'll leave you with a track from Kitkaliitto called Moravia, from their new vinyl release, as well as a track I've been playing over and over and over again. It is, of course, Luciano & Mirko Loco - Mousa Big Band.

Damn!
There was some proper party business going down in Dipoli yesterday. Hannu and dduck got the place warmed up with some houseish tracks, and me and Mr. Koolidge continued from there with our liquid selection.
At the start of our set the room was pretty empty, with just a couple of stray people dancing, but when our set was about halfway through the place was absolutely rocking, and we ended our set with Rock It, handing over the decks to Erkko from Misf*ts, who continued to play some quality stuff, and the crowd really seemed to like it.
Dropped a dnb remix of Major Lazer's Pon De Floor that I recently finished, and the reception was great, to say the least. Another tune that also rocked the place was Blame's remix of Show Me Love.
