Pineapples feat. Douglas Roop - Come On Closer

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.

Shut Up And Dance - Raving I'm Raving

Fred Falke Helsinki

Fred Falke was performing last night at Rose Garden Helsinki. Simply one of the better nights that I've experienced in a while.

Fred Falke in Helsinki

Falke started out as a bass player around 1995 before starting producing records in the late 90's. His first record, a collaboration with Alan Braxe named Intro, was released in 2000 on Vulture Music. The pair would form a very productive partnership up until 2008 when they went separate ways.

Falke has also collaborated with France-based German producer, DJ and close friend Kris Menace, as well as having released records on Menace's label Work It Baby.

Jori Hulkkonen aka Zyntherius

Jori Hulkkonen tonight at Nolla, Helsinki. Check out the Tocadisco remix of Sunglasses At Night.

Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses At Night (Tocadisco Heavy Remix

Sex Faces

Bun B live in Helsinki tonight. They were supposed to bring 'Face as well but he cancelled (roughly 50% of all rap gigs announced in Finland get cancelled, a rather strange tendency). Anyway here we have a great promo ep from 1998 and it's brilliant opening track - Sex (Fuck?) Faces.

Scarface feat. Too Short, Devin & Tela - Sex Faces

EDIT: Get the dirty version - Fuck Faces - here.

VETO live in Helsinki

Danish VETO live at Tavastia, Helsinki tonight. Here's Built To Fail from their second album, Crushing Digits, remixed by Tomboy.

VETO - Built To Fail (Tomboy Remix)

Rap Classique tonight

Yours truly has brushed dust off stacks of some best rap classics ever. Below is one of them with a debut verse from the illmatic era Nasty Nas. This is how we are going to kick it tonight from the 80s to 2000s, classic material, old school/new school. Word to 90DL.

MC Serch feat Red Hot Lover Tone, Nasty Nas and Chubb Rock - Back To The Grill 12"

It's a friday night

and while everybody is chillin' - DJ K2 is rocking two spots - an around-the-midnight house/classic rap and r&b set at Redrum



and later same night some newer sounds at Den Kungliga Klubben



This 1990 classic by Alex Neri and Marco Adry will probably get play in both sets just because italians did it better:

Ecstasy - This Is My House (Maxi version)

Midsummer madness

Wish you all safe midsummer festivities with this brilliant mix from Finland's underground hero Lil Tony. I think these sounds suit really well good times with close friends, which could be considered a slightly smarter way to celebrate the Finnish midsummer.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

In the wake of Kanye's Stronger hype and my 5-day weekend I'm back at the office. Thanks to everybody who showed up at the Ihana brunch at Wave terrace yesterday plus a special shoutout to my partner in crime DJ Anonymous. I still can't quite describe the positive vibe on the sunny top floor terrace but that definitely reminded my of why I started deejaying about 10 years ago.

Wave terrace goodies:
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Neptunes remix) [320kbps]
Deee-Lite - What Is Love [320kbps]
DJ Spinna - Deep Rooted (unreleased demo mix) [320kbps]
