Deep At Night

From small bars to clubs to arenas we've done it. This is definitely something for the bigger venues by two fellow Finns - Ercola and Heikki. Heikki is a hardboiled veteran of our dance music scene and Ercola.. well, you can never go wrong with Carrera shades.

Laserdans promo mix

Lauri Soini has a creative and musical background. Although at the same time when his mother wanted him to take violin lessons, he was more interested in computers. Meanwhile he also managed to study in an art school.

"When dad was listening his Stevie Wonder records, I bet he didn't expect to see me playing the very same vinyl years after in a club to young people."

The real passion for electronic music hit Lauri in the year 1990 when he heard house mixes for the first time.

"Those new sounds took me quickly into different electronic styles from deep to more intense stuff. Thanks to Gilles Peterson's 'A Thing Called Jazz' radio program back then I became also familiar with all kinds of fresh music influenced strongly by jazz and soul."

Somewhere in the mid-nineties Lauri started to produce his own material and also began Djing more seriously. At that time his selection included mainly techno, but also deep house records.

"Chain Reaction and Maurizio -style techno had a great impact on me then and they still inspire me a lot."

Since then Lauri has been playing records at various events all around. Apart from DJing you could find his DJ-sets and tracks being played by national radio stations. Recently Lauri did come up with a few very appreciated solo live performances.

Lauri's musical style as a DJ can be shortly described as deep dance music with influences from everything. He did gain some respect with house mixes before, but shortly after 2002 he moved more into jazz and bossa material that turned out to be very refreshing change for dance floors.

"Besides my eclectic musical style, places where I like to perform vary from cozy lounge rooms and clubs to trashy bars and sometimes quite heavy underground events and outdoor festivals."

Currently Laserdans is one of the regular club nights Lauri aka 80's Cop is hosting in Helsinki.

More Valerie stuff

We can't get enough of the Valerie stuff that is out there right now. This one by The Outrunners, remixed by Russ Chimes is an excellent track. Check it out:

The Outrunners - These Girls are Dressed to Kill (Russ Chimes Remix)

Alaska in Winter

Synth pop and electro in combination with Berlin and Germany has always been a good combination. It sure is in this case, Berlin based Alaska in Winter have been getting some support from Zach Condon of Beirut. Zach Condon stands for pure quality and he has produced music since the age of 15. Berlin is a track that gives the same feeling as the french counterparties on the Valerie label, but a little bit darker. Winter in Alaskas second album will be released the 18th of November, so support them and buy the album.

Alaska in Winter - Berlin

Ooh!

A quick request rip from the crates for one of our readers. Mary J. Blige over Bohannon Hamilton or should I say an Ed OG instrumental. Reminds me of Pori Jazz festival last july even though I can't recall whether she did this song or not.

Mary J. Blige - Ooh!

Gucci Time

Shut Up And Dance - Raving I'm Raving

Bad Passion

The tallest chief in the picture, Giancarlo Meo, is responsible for producing some of the baddest italo disco ever. Meo was at his prime 1978 through 1985. Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good.

Steel Mind - Bad Passion
