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.

Play No Games

Newsflash not news on the Stanley Cup 2008. It is not even theoretically possible to find a nation that would be more nuts about ice hockey than Finland. Furthermore, we Finns have a tendency to collectively capitalize on an individual's achievements and since Valtteri Filppula plays for the Red Wings we all can now proudly say: We did it!

Pics are from Atlanta which didn't qualify to the playoffs as their HART Sport accidentally got replaced with Crunk juice. The evidence is crystal clear in the third pic - Kari Lehtonen never smiles.

Soul music

After the weekend think it's time to slow the tempo down a bit. Perhaps the finest soul made in Finland.

Charles Williams - Standing In The Way

House music (pt.2)

Big saturday coming up! House music all night long! Below are a couple of classic vocal tracks that will help you make it through these rainy winter days. The first one is an epic promo only edit by the one'n'only FK, released in 1991. Second on the platter is a beautiful vocal gospel track by Kenny Bobien, produced by Masters At Work in 1998.

Frankie Knuckles feat. Lisa Michaelis - Rainfalls (Rainapella)

Kenny Bobien - Rise Above The Storm

Bonus track is by one of my most respects fellow Finns - Klas "Sasse" Lindblad aka Freestyle Man. This one's off his 1999 "Solid Support" EP.

Freestyle Man - Tender Rain

All the best girls

85 y'all! Bogart Co. was Finland's finest at the time. Just look at the band members' artist names: Esa Mäkelä (Reddie Redford), Johnny Gustafsson, Sami Piiparinen (Sam Eagle), Veijo Mäki (Vinnie Lane), Kai Stenman (Guy Stoneman). A special shout-out to "Germany's finest" DJ Rolex!

Champion sound 2007

Friendly game of Finnish baseball

A little late on this one but no matter what I wanted to share with the world. Tahko from Hyvinkää are the champions of Finnish baseball (bka pesäpallo). The above clip is from the game #3. A sweet homerun by Simo Eerikäinen.
