Whats the house scene like in Finland?

I can all too rarely find the trance music I crave. Hard house seems to be the way things are going in London, but maybe I need to look harder.

[Jon Shafer]

Because everyone is coming here tonight.

laurentius, I don't think I'm coming. It's no wonder you haven't heard, he hasn't played in bigger parties.. he's not a resident dj. But he gets gigs, and will get bigger soon. He's good and he has tons of wonderful records. Some rarely heard stuff too that people don't know about . BTW, I have a HUGE collection of house and other electronic music in my HD (closer to 30 gigs), so if you are interested, I could someday maybe hook you up with some. Mostly house though, official releases from mp3 groups, rarerities ripped from vinyls, most kinds of house (disco, chicago, deep etc), detroit (tons of good stuff if you like).

[Pekka]

Snotty, I never liked hard house.. trance is maybe the biggest here in electronic music scene, or at least it used to be couple of years ago. Not huge in UK way, but huge in the way we have. House scene is ... hmm .. average. But people don't really know that much about really good house, classic house etc, except regular clubbers maybe and DJs. And me.

[st_swithin]

Wherever I go, it's always called here.
Wherever you go, there you are.

[laurentius]

Snotty: We have very nice house scene here in Helsinki. Theres Deep house, Ibiza/Maistream, Hard House/NuNRG, jazz-house and my favourite progressive house which is growing really fast here. We just had DJs like John Digweed, Kai Tracid etc playing here and we have many extremely classy finnish dj here. Some mixes can be found here http://www.platinum.ac/phpbb/viewfor...f7b1151ae3a9f7

Check out clubs like Screen, Hallmark, Ihana and

[Pekka]

but I don't think he'll ever want to play in big parties.. we're kind the same I think.. YOu know, we treasure our collections, and we'd be the most happy if no one ever knew about them, so we could own it all . He likes to play though, and is good, and knows good music.. Myself.. I don't like to go clubbing these days.. I did that in 98-2000, then I kind of got bored to it... you know? I just like the music. I guess you could call me ******* purist of somekind, that comes in in crappy jeans and smells bad and doesn't give a crap about other people, only listens the music analyzing it and breaks out complaining if there's something even close 'wrong' with it . But I like to listen a lot, and collect the music.

1. loner
2. lazy
3. plenty of other things "to do" here..

[Pekka]

Screen sometimes gets huge names... like for example Marshal Jefferson was there.. Uuh oooh.. yeah! One of the better Finn DJs in house is Jori Hulkkonen.. does stuff for F-Communication (laurent garniers label).

To put it in short, .. No I don't like clubs. I don't like crowded parties really, and I don't like most people I see at clubs. I'm not rude at them, but I just don't like most people I see there. Very few actually care about the music. Very few actually know something about the music that is been played. They just go there for their own hedonistic needs, to make a scene or what ever, to be seen, dressed to be screwed etc. I care 0% of that. I like the music, period. And most of the people in clubs etc are ruining my chance of really enjoying that music. That is, I'm so uptight that I can't stand other people doing anything extra . That includes dancing. I like to sit down, put on the headphones and analyze mixing, and everything there is to it, I love it. I like finding new killer baselines, beats, what ever. I care very little about parties in general. I like to party for sure, but I like to party with my friends. My friends only. Everything else is distraction and away from the whole experience. Best way is to just sit down, close your eyes and start listening, or perhaps do little programming aside .

So there you go.

[The Viceroy]

wifes fav programs on TV, so im relegated to the computer .. actually, its not so bad.

[Japher]

It ain't night yet

But, I probably won't do anything tonight because I am a lazy alcoholic whose wife is addicted to Mario World: Sunshine on the game cube... So, I might be posting once I leave work... you lucky bastards

[Snotty]

Thanks for the link laurentius. I think it will be a while before Im visiting Finnish house clubs though, but maybe one day

And Pekka do you mix?

[Snotty]

Very few actually care about the music. Very few actually know something about the music that is been played.

I find that in the mainstream clubs (or the underground clubs that have become mainstream). Its still there in the others (and in London we have quite a choice) but its easy to feel you are surrounded by people who truly appreciate the music.
