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.

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

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

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?
Mujava - Township Funk (Bloom Remix)

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!

Doppler opening
Whoa!
The opening night of our new club, Doppler, at Bar Loop went really well. Lots of more people than I had hoped for, and people actually stayed quite long considering most of them had to go to work in the morning. A big thanks to all of you who made the effort to come, hopefully you liked the music. A special thanks also go out to our guests of the evening, Teppo and Metsis aka Möjitö Brös.
My computer managed to crash at one point, my MIDI controller stopped responding and I got the dreaded "beachball of death" (probably familiar to all you OS X users). Luckily nobody else noticed, since I was able to mix in a track I happened to have with me on CD (how lucky!). So I'd thought I'd share the track that saved the night, a new track that I've produced called Purple Harlequin.

Put on my nitkuscarf.
And I boarded a plane.
Touched down in the land of the minimal beats.
In the middle of the sound waves.
Today's update is Mr Pug, an absolutely massive tune (or would the correct term be miniature since we're talking about minimal?) by Gianluca Corvesi, this time with the Mark Ramsey remix. Been playing it quite a lot recently, so enjoy.

Thought I'd share are real classic with you to get the morning started. I've had this song playing in my head the whole week, and I believe that statement is true for quite a lot of people as well.
It truly is one of the great classics (quite a bold statement, I know), and a good way to get this blog started (more about what is blog actually is later on).
Have a good weekend, hopefully this song won't be stuck in your head for too many weeks ;)
