Mango’s musical and cultural interest in the Orient manifests itself once again in the contemplative “Raining in Osaka,” a collaboration with talented DJ Orion and J.Shore. In the Original mix, (more…)
Just a short note before leaving Finland for one month.
It just got official - Brotherhood will be remixed by DJ Taucher, an oldskool German trance talent, who also visited Finland back in the day, playing at Labyrinth Summer Sound System.
I just got a preview of the track and it’s really something you could expect from someone who is one with his roots: the remix sounds like ‘94 Eye-Q trance, it’s hypnotic, bubbling and energetic - something you’ll rarely hear these days - a combination of fresh and 15 year old sound. Needless to say - this puts together the package really well: a trance remix from Ayleon, prog house from Flight&Jontey, prog trance from Anton Sonin and an oldskool interpretation from DJ Taucher.
Some other good news, too. I’ll be playing at Parktheater, Kempten, Germany on 25.07.2009. I’m really looking forward to this - Parktheater is among the biggest and best looking clubs in Allgäu area, I’ve visited the place a couple of times and the place never failed to impress me. Check the video for a better look of the interiors.

Hello hello!
The famous Finnish summer has started (famous for not being sunny and warm as summers usually are:) and it’s a good chance to put together a newsletter of some sort. It’s been an incredible 2009 so far and there are plenty of interesting things to come - here are some selected newsbits.
*** Coldplay - Viva La Vida (Flight & Jontey meet DJ Orion bootleg remix) ***
Early this year I joined Flight & Jontey, a Tampere-based house duo, to make an exclusive bootleg remix for this year’s Labyrinth // Laserpoint event. After the event, a couple of copies were given out and the response was really nice. By now not only for example Tiesto and Jaytech have given thumbs-up for the track but over 100 Scandinavian DJs are playing it regularly. A summer tune for sure :) Thanks for all the nice feedback we’ve gotten for the track - and if you happen not be familiar with the tune, you can check it at YouTube.
*** In the studio with J.Shore and Flight&Jontey ***
Talking about Flight & Jontey, we’re still getting together in the studio this June. Their house & dnb background combined with a bit more proggy influenced taste of mine resulted in nice combos last time and I can’t wait to share the much talked Tampere-fiilis with them again :)
A week ago I finally found time to share a studio with my brother, J.Shore, and continue the chill-out project we started last year with One Sunday and Brotherhood tracks. The result was three new chill-out tracks, which still need some days of work, but I’m hoping to have some samples online by the end of June.
*** DJ Orion - Brotherhood ***
The remixes of Brotherhood, a sequel for One Sunday are now ready. I was really, really happy with the One Sunday remixes and once again the remixers went beyond all the expectations. Ayleon, Flight&Jontey and Anton Sonin deliver their interpretations - something for everyone: Ayleon’s trancey remix, Flight&Jontey’s house&proghouse version and Anton’s progressive trance remix are available for listen at http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/02/dj-orion-brotherhood/.
*** Mango, DJ Orion, J.Shore - Raining In Osaka ***
The Russian-Finnish co-op track “Mango, DJ Orion & J.Shore - Raining In Osaka” climbed the Beatport prog house charts after its release and got very nice feedback. The last version, “Raining In Osaka (DJ Orion & J.Shore remix)” will be released on Mango Alley Recordings sampler in August. Available for listen here: http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/03/mango-orion-jshore-raining-in-osaka-mango-alley/
*** Love ***
After last year’s Metaverse tour, we at Misc. Management have been working together with DJ Orkidea & Jack club, running nights at Redrum with guests like Nick Warren and Matthew Dekay.
Over half a year ago we started planning a new concept called “Love” and to keep it short, you can read more here: http://orion.reaktio.net/2009/05/theres-something-about-love/
We’ve been really busy with the Love opening night, happening on 5.7.2009 with Pete Tong (BBC Radio 1, UK) headlining. Busy or not - it’s anyway been great to be a part of the concept and share the Love to music and club culture :) If you feel like looking, the website is now open at www.lovehelsinki.fi
*** Schedule ***
Despite of all the fun described above, lately I’ve needed to say to “no” to several interesting possibilities, projects, gigs and events. I’m having a short gig break until October, 2009 and concentrating on something which has been by far the most fascinating experience of my life. I’m becoming father in early September - and needless to say, I want to save some quality time to get most out of the days before (and after) the birth :)
*** YleX Tiistain Tanssi-ilta ***
Even though I’ve reduced the amount of gigs, the beats at Tiistain Tanssi-ilta will be served regularly every second Tuesday on YleX at 21:00.
One of the most exciting upcoming shows is on 21.7.2009 when we’ll be having the Tom Middleton retrospective, a show presenting Tom’s whole career in one hour. Not an easy task, but luckily we got help from Tom himself, who will be hosting the one-hour show personally. This is a very, very rare occasion and really worth listening.
Thanks for reading this far - you can catch up with the latest stuff on my blog or download the latest mixes via the podcast, both available at http://orion.reaktio.net

Cheeerio! :)

I just had to write this down for the years to come. On one weekend Helsinki witnesses Chris Lake, Tom Middleton, Marco V, Joris Voorn, Astral Projection, Push and Derrick May on five different events. 2009 hasn’t been a bad year at all, but this has been a top weekend so far.
If you feel like looking further back, I recommend checking legendary Ocsid playlist from 1995 which Ozzi made alive again by collecting the tracks on one playlist on YouTube. If you’re not familiar with Ocsid, read more on Klubitus topic.
Playing tonight at Mixxed @ Bio Rex terrace. It’s beautiful weather, really looking forward to this.
A full length sample (as well as the original) of DJ Orion - Brotherhood (Anton Sonin remix) is now available for listening. Go drag your ears here.
DJ Orkidea writes about the background of the soon-to-be-started Love event series. Make also sure to read all the comments as they include all the Love Stories written so far.
I know, I’m totally late with this one, but I’m so fallen in love with London Elektricity’s Just One Second. Take a listen.

Chill-out moment of the day. Spotted this on Spushik’s Twitter some days ago. Apparently produced by Rollo, this track has been on non-stop play since I found it. Just a lovely piece of music. Enjoy.
This Saturday One returns to Tanssitalo to start the summer. For me this also means a short break with One - unfortunately I can’t be present at the first One of the upcoming autumn (for the reasons I will tell later), so I will definitely make the most out of this experience. Check the One trailer above (fantastic work by joili) and the details below.

During the past weeks and days you might have come up with a new club concept, which is launching in Helsinki in early July. The event series has a big name, Love, but the name also tells it all: it’s been made with love to music, to club culture and to people who share the same vibes. It brings us all together.
If you thought Love is korny, it’s a stupid cliché or that people don’t speak about love anymore, check the Love website which presents Love from Twitter is real time. Love is all around us.
I’m very happy that Misc possé (Oded, Asaf and me) are again working with DJ Orkidea and the whole Unity crew. It’s been more than a year after we got together to think through to the concept even close to this size and after the experiences on Metaverse tour, I just can’t wait Love to happen.
On the opening night 5.7.2009, held at the biggest and finest new venue in Helsinki, The Circus, Pete Tong makes his debut gig in Finland. It’s been estimated that over 30 million people hear Pete’s each BBC Radio 1 show which is just h.u.g.e crowd. In comparison, the last episode of Conan O’Brien’s talk show was seen by 3,5 million people. He is one of the most influencial trendsetters of electronic music and the second oldest radio voice on BBC Radio 1.
Culturally speaking, club culturally to be frank, I think Pete Tong is easily among the most important DJ visitors Finland has seen in years.
(And if you thought Pete Tong is a big name, just wait for the upcoming nights… :)
Below is a Love story of Pete Tong. To get more information about the night, why not visit Love Facebook event
Love Story 2: The Artist
There are many reasons why Pete Tong has been called ‘The most powerful person in dance music’ by Muzik Magazine. Or even ‘The god of dance music’ by The Independent. It might be the fact that on a weekly basis, there are more than 30 million live listeners to his BBC1 radio shows ‘Essential Selection’ and ‘Essential Mix’. It might also be the fact that Daft Punk, Underworld, Tiësto, Basement Jaxx, Justice, Eric Prydz and pretty much everybody in dance music hope to get him to be the first to introduce their music to the world. Maybe it’s the fact that since releasing the first ever house music compilation in the UK — ‘The House Sound of Chicago Vol 1′ in 1986 — he has sold millions of compilations for brands such as Pacha, Ministry of Sound, Cream, Mixmag and his very own FFRR label where he’s signed such artists as Orbital and Goldie.
As the icon that he is, Tong was the inspiration behind the film “It’s All Gone Pete Tong”. As a producer he has assembled the music for movie soundtracks such as The Beach, Human Traffic and 24 Hour Party People, and has produced his own material under various guises. He’s one of the biggest crowd pullers in clubland, including his legendery residencies at Pacha Ibiza and Ministry of Sound in London, and headlining slots all over the globe. It seems as if everything Pete touches turns into a long-lasting memory. Which explains why he’s one of the most sought after figures in a scene that’s built around music that turns into an experience.
The dance scene has changed a lot since Pete started, but one thing remains the same: “People love music, make no mistake about that, whether and how they buy it right now is one thing, but people still want to party… it’s our job to come up with new parties, new nights, new venues, new themes to keep the scene fresh and exciting.” Pete still sees his vocation as he did when he started out, playing other people’s records to get an audience dancing. “We need to constantly remember why people want to come to clubs - which is simply to have a great time and feel the music.” And here we are, ready to do just that.
LOVE is delighted to have Mr. Tong play his debut gig in Finland on a night that will be remembered for a long time.

P.S. The poster is full of awesome details. Check the full-res version here.
One of my very early sources of inspiration and fascination lands to Helsinki tonight. Jean Michel Jarre’s “Musik Aus Zeit Und Raum” was among the first LPs I’ve bought and as a teenager I was stunned by the TV broadcasts of his shows in Paris and other massive outdoor venues. This tour, however, is held indoors in its whole, but I’m expecting nothing less.
Jack organizes the unofficial afterparty at Redrum after the concert. Indigo, Orkidea and Matthew Dekay serve the beats. What comes to progressive house jocks, Mr.Dekay is certainly among my favourites. Beautiful Monday/Fucking Friday release on Deep Records turned my eyes on him in 2003 and his releases have been on heavy rotation ever since. I’m really happy that Jack had the possibility of bringing Matthew to Helsinki, really looking forward to his set. For more details, browse to Jack Facebook event.
Helsinki is a city full of passionate people. There are countless individuals that might be considered crazy by doctors, but truly amazing by others. Many of these people come out at night, looking to give birth to another memorable experience. Nothing feels better, than to find yourself surrounded by them on the dance-floor. When there is a break in a song, the lights go off and someone in the back whistles right on time. Like some magic, a warm wave lifts your hands towards the ceiling and it feels as if your feet come off the ground. You knew it was going to happen, but it still comes as a surprise. Time and time again.
‘LOVE’ brings together, for the first time, three passionate groups of the Helsinki nightlife. They have all been here for long and still get excited about the opportunity of giving more then they ever have. The experiences of the past are not forgotten. A masquerade on an Island, a Rock n Roll Rave, an imaginary visit to Renaissance times, the perfect day with Café del Mar, 16 hours in the Sun, or only a One Minute Rave… It is those exact memories that drive these people to build something new. In one of Finland’s most astounding venues, they have the opportunity to create a new now. And it all sounds better with you.
LOVE. Brings us all together.
A couple of weeks ago YouTube sent me a copyright claim. Content owner, UMG (Universal Music Group) claimed I was infringing their copyright and having illegal content (= music) on my video, called “Flair”.
In this video, filmed back in the day in Kalajoki, after a gig in Dyyni, shows the bartender flairing. It’s 37 seconds long and - indeed - if you listen carefully, there is some music playing in the background. Turn up the volume and you might even recognize the track being performed by Black Eyed Peas.
The Youtube clip is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65EOI3Q6IUE
and if it’s blocked and you can’t see it, feel free to check it here (2,4mb).
Now, judge it yourself - do you think that this amazing piece of video art is fair use of content or copyright infringing?
After my complaint I got a response today from YouTube which can be seen above.
According to the message this video is now blocked everywhere except Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Guam, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Spain, United States, United States Virgin Islands.
And where it’s allowed to be watched, the users will see ads when watching the video.
Just a short final thought - copyright in the form we know it now is dying. Companies trying to “protect” their content is ways like this are not winning the customers to their side but losing them, one by one.
Even though this wasn’t an important video for me at all, this incident pisses me off - a lot.
Other (and much shorter) thoughts about copyright and music business can be read here.

Mies kertoo kuulumisensa Electronic Architechture -kiertueelta ja pyöräyttää lempikappaleensa vastajulkaistulta samannimiseltä kokoelmalta.
Kesäsoundeja kuullaan lisäksi mm. Tom Middletonilta, Gareth Emeryltä, Scopelta, Paul Keeleylta, Holden & Thompsonilta ja Tritonalilta. Tuttuun tapaan ohjelmassa myös musauutiset ja viikon vinyyli, joka on tällä kertaa Matthew Dekayn käsialaa.
