About
Most of the events in 2001-2005 took place in North Finland, which also tells a lot of the growing electronic music and club culture in the area.

The idea was from the very beginning to offer people a possibility to experience something new at the clubs, see artists which hadn't visited Northern Finland before and to introduce new styles of electronic music. It's always been important that the electronic music culture stays alive and pure and the events remain their high quality.

Big Thank You to all the friends, sponsors and staff who have been helping, supporting, encouraging and making all this possible.
