I decided to give this one away, since it's almost a year old and technically it doesn't really represent the way I'm making tunes today. I made it one winter night in my old Turku flat, which had a really inspiring view over industrial area near Turku harbor during darkness. Enjoy!

Dub School part 1+

This Friday! Hopefully it's gonna be as large as last time. Some new dubs coming your way...

Cloud9 presents: 16 bit

This Friday at Playground, Helsinki!

I have to say that 16bit represents a sound of dubstep I've never been too much into, but these two mixes have been playing on my iPod and and homespeakers actively. SICK!

24.6.2009 Bass System @ Out of Juice, Tampere

Tomorrow in Tampere with Thomas Sanderson.

Turku Modern

Me, Dead-O, Desto & Clouds live!!!. Dubstep all night on July 24th @ Turku.

D-Bridge@FWD>>>

I won't post other people's stuff here unless it's a special case. And this one certainly is. If you haven't listened to this by now, do it. It's basically 170bpm, but has dubstep-minimal techno-idm-vibes plus some beautifully distorted, soulful vocals. Absolutely astonishing.

True professionals

We played a set at a local radio station on Saturday. We were supposed to record it, but f***ed it up so no audio this time. Picture above demonstrates the true professional spirit in the studio: an interview through cellphone speaker. Was great still, thanks again Liukkone!

Technical difficulties haunted me through all weekend but 21 basslines was still nice since I played when the club was getting crowded but still had rest of the night to ease back and enjoy an tropical umbrella-drink with some serious bassweight.

21 basslines

Tomorrow in Helsinki area! This will also serve as a testing ground for new tunes...

Slam It!

I did my debut in Finland's nr.1 dubstep club, Slam It, on 6th of March. For me it was also great to witness Hatcha&Crazy D perform first time in Finland. At the beginning of his set Hatcha rinsed some big 2step-ish tunes with some really heavy & hard basslines, that really brought me back to those moments hearing some Skream or DMZ tracks for the first time ("wtf is this music?"). Before midnight the dancefloor was packed (also with "sexy, foxy ladies" as Crazy D would put it) and the crowd was feeling it. All in all a heavy night.
Big up Tes, Dead-O, Desto, Hatcha, Crazy D and all of you who made it there.

Voices in my head...

...told me to start a blog.

In the future it will hopefully offer mixtapes and tracks from me.
