Regular readers and superstar DJ's can also email me at the address on the right. I got exclusive promo DL links here.

Country Trip Revisited

Last week I stumbled on an old mix by a hometown DJ hero, Pirkka. Semi-retired now, he was always one of the very few DJ's worth trainspotting each and every time and a direct source of inspiration to me and so many others.

The mix was first published on his seminal mix site Mixoftheweek.com and is a prime example of what he was known for: classy dance music old and new and regular, sometimes weekly one take, no edit mixes. Seven years later I had this on repeat for days and days and just had to share it here as well.

Still Going in HKI this Friday

Aeroplane last Saturday

Last Saturday after my own set at another party I went to see dude from Aeroplane DJ. I love their productions but was still pretty impressed, good selection and a very nice vibe overall. Here's a cool little clip from the early part of the set. Lolling at the lightshow...

One of my favorite nights here will be closing this week. I'll be there no doubt, behind the decks and on the dancefloor. Good times... Shout outs to my man Pablo for keeping it moving all these years.

As requested... Suomi Soul #2 from 2006

DJ Anonymous: Suomi Soul#2 (2006)
alternative Megaupload link
I thought I had uploaded most of my older mixes last year already, including this here, until it was requested multiple times over the last month or two.
Like Volume 1 (now re-upped), this one deals with smooth 1970's soul exclusively and titles that used to be common here particularly. The mix starts off slow jam style, but builds in tempo towards the end. I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh the whole thing still sounded- I guess you can't really go wrong with timeless jams like these.

Ring The Alarm w/ Joker This Friday!

My favorite dubstep dude in Helsinki for the first time this Friday. Not to be missed!

Basement Soul Vol 1

Time for some local DJ history. My old friend DJ Kelloggs just hit me with a mixtape rip from '97 and as I've been hearing about the mix for a long time of course I had to post it, too. It's called Basement Soul Volume 1 and it's by my man DJ Newhouse. The whole thing is a prime example of the kind of deep and soulful house sound he's always been known for. It's recorded in one take too, with no editing whatsoever. Respect.

Btw, this is a cassette rip and you can defintely hear it too. In a good way.
Enjoy!

Just messing around with Skitch. That's the first half of my 4 hour radio show this past Saturday. I felt like a real Fool's Gold fan boy after playing 6 songs from them. What can I say, they're steady putting out good stuff right now. Shout outs to my main man Nick.

Also shout outs to Sammy Bananas who played a dope set at 6. Linja later that night. Here's some footage from the last minutes before the lights went on, dude definitely knows what to play to keep my HKI peoples on the floor. Btw, check out the Braids & Fades EP out now.
