Interview

Where do you come from and what makes your place so special for you?
I come from Helsinki, the small vibrant capital of Finland.

How do you see the electronic music scene evolve in and around the city or country?
The scene is constantly growing, with plenty of new collectives popping up and new events being created. Helsinki has definitely its unique sound and vibe, which isn’t available anywhere else, at least to my experience. There are a lot of doers in the city who are making Helsinki a better place for all the party people.

What excites you the most as being a DJ/producer?
Making the dancefloor feel like they’re made of dynamite with the urgent need to explode by dancing.

Where does your passion for electronic music come from?
When I was 18, I went to Berghain for the very first time, without really knowing what to expect or having much experience with techno. It blew my mind.

How has your music been influenced by other artists, musicians, or life in general?
My mixes are influenced a lot by the type of events I attend and the DJs I listen to at that moment. Right now I’ve been into Kater Blau/Sisyphos/Fusion – the type of Berlin sound, which is present in this mix.

What can we expect from the mix you made us?
It’s a mixture of deep house and tech, with the constant drive towards euphoria, song by song.

What’s your favourite song to date?
Antonio Vivaldi – Winter

Hope you like my mix!

Thank you.
