Autumn breeze
It’s raining like hell and I’m sitting at school doing a presentation on reflection and refraction, sigh. Moodymann on Gilles Peterson 2007 made my day yesterday and hopefully it’ll work today as well. Here’s some more Moodymann smoothness, get ready for the winter. Fun fact about this 12″: “This is a reissue of KDJ 5. … Continue Reading »

Neccessarry Madness
I’m starting to get into the production game (thanks to Pushups) so here’s a little treat for yall. If you are familiar with the original version, I can assume that you agree with me when I say that this one needed some kick. Fiskars said “that’s a remix yo” but I’m putting it in the … Continue Reading »

Here’s a skatemovie classic from Shorty’s Fullfill the Dream. … Continue Reading »
Back to school
U-tern made my day with his Lifelike megapost last week and now I’m trying to make this day work. Back to school week sucks but Dcup doesn’t. From Germany to Down Under and from pan flutes to saxophones disco sounds good. Pablo Calamari – I Bought My Wife On The Blackmarket (Dcup Remix) (320K) (zshare)
German Panflute
I’m gonna continue posting great german producers and this time it’s Tensnake’s time to shine. Who knew that germans and panflutes would pair so nicely and sound so good? I’d still like to thank everybody who came to the Helsinki 78-82 record release party last friday. We all had fun and the 78-82 songs, especially … Continue Reading »
Motor City Drum Ensemble
I’ve been enjoying Motor City Ensemble’s Raw Cuts series for some time. Nice deep, chicago/detroit house touch with some disco flavor, win. If you aren’t familiar with the series go here and check it out. Raw Cuts #5 & #6 came out this july, but here’s my personal favourite #3. Go Stuttgart! Motor City Drum … Continue Reading »

This weekend me, Nenis and J-Laini are going to Oulu.

Bangin modern
Tomorrow I’m heading to Turku Modern alongside with the rest of the TB -crew. Last time I visited Turku was almost 15 years ago, so I think it’s about time to get an update of the T-town.

On the road
Ugh, I’ve been driving over 1500 kilometres this week and I can tell you it’s no fun. Only good thing about it is going through and bumping your ipod through all the tracks. Remembered this little hiphouseish Dance Mania gem while drinking coffee at Turku’s Abc, lol. I’m still waiting for my Vincent Floyd – … Continue Reading »
Finland 12 pts
Finnish Hannulelauri just released their first 12″, Glittering Night EP. 2 original tracks of the EP swim smoothly in some balearic disco ocean and the b-side’s Jori Hulkkonen remix of the Sally 2000 really tops it off. Buy the vinyl while you still can, I heard that these run in very limited quantities. Hannulelauri – … Continue Reading »
Skate or die
Yesterday J-Laini held a nice skatejam in a local skatepark. Summer has come to Finland (at last) so J-Laini and Fiskars were spinning some classic rap and jamaica tunes and the feeling was just right. I played some good old skatemovie tracks and newer skate anthems like Love’s Between Clark And Hilldale from Skate More … Continue Reading »
