Looking Forward...

Monday at Tavastia was superb. The legendary club was filled with people and I managed to pull through a great gig without technical difficulties and Square Mode played magically tight dj-set that can't be underestimated by anyone. They are definetly the ones to watch in the big circuits in the future.

The night at Tavastia made made me more sure about my abilities as a DJ. About my ability to play in a big room etc. and made me hungry for more. I'm browsing for future nights and venues here during a day off work and fantasizing about gig at a Indie Fastival in Barcelona etc.

But yeah. Here's a pic taken about 10 minutes after my set ended and this is how it looked like at Tavastia. Real intimidating stuff I reckon

Party with my vinyls tomorrow.

I'll be playing at the epicentre of live music in Finland - Tavastia tomorrow with New Yorkers Sleigh Bells and Finnish/French house soon-to-be-giants Square Mode. Right now I'm going through some material that I've bought during these last few months I've been on dj-holiday - not really playing anywhere, just buying everything thats fun on vinyl. Now it all comes together. I just hope the tech side works for once and the monitoring gives feedback. Well, enough of the tech talk. Let's talk music.

Here's some songs I've picked up during these months of not doing nothing. Let's call them idle tracks.

First off. The sharp, crispy Four Tet track I got on Future Bass comp called Nothing To See. The track brings me back to August at Flow Festival where I had the priviledge to see an extatic Four Tet up-beat set in a factory building filled with people and it was so hot and sweaty I just had to flee but all I remember was the exciting uplifting beats Kieran Hebden managed to push out of his systems. This track also reminds me that why you should buy and play stuff on vinyl. This might sound like crap through cheese box speakers so go and find this on vinyl.

Next off. There's something about Lindsrom and Prins Thomas I just can't figure. Just how the hell do they manage to hold on o their red line and still do remix of tracks like this?! Chemical Brothers anthem turned into an Oslo Psyko Disko takes some balls to pull through and yet they do it classy as also. I think I could eventually play an entire set of Lindstrom & Prins Thomas and be entirely satified but that's something they should do themselves

Then yet one more cosmic disco act I've fallen in love with. Indianapoli DFA act Bot'ox have something tweaked and great in them that just shouts PLAY ME! Their atmosphere is just so progressive and sophisticated I'd be fool not to play it. Just the perfect sound to be played on vinyl.

Just a few track I want to share as I'm going through dj litterature. Some Scanno Disco etc.

First up, an awesome combination of Lindstrom's cosmic vibes, Kieran Hebden's wackiness and Christabelle's sweet vocal make up a great combo whick I enjoy deeply

Second. I used to despise Uffie and I really do that still. Not as intense though. This happens to be her track but my favourite's Azari & III have made it into something completely different. Interesting stuff.

If I'd ever need a dark rowdy dance track for a filled up basement rave I know what I'd choose to play on full volume. Digitalism are back. Well this came out a while ago but I've managed to miss it. I like the varified energy levels here and stuff

For the last posting I'd like to share you a great remix by Cut Copy of a Munk song. I actually had the guys from Cut Copy hanging out at one of my nights and they were really nice guys and seemed to like same kind of music as us. They even tried to bum for some drink tickets eventhough they make about 10 gran a gig. Old habits die hard I guess
