I boated over the bay (during the worst storm in five years) to visit Microdisko in Stockholm and played them some beats from the old breadbox. I was playing between Dirty 1200 and Dorothy's Magic Bag.

I dare say they liked it. In fact, they went crazy. I had a roomful of Swedes chanting "Suomi, Suomi"... How can you beat that? :-)

Kulturnyheterna did a piece on Microdisko and they interviewed me too, but thankfully they didn't use any of it in the clip. There's a couple of small glimpses of me playing at the party though. That has to count as at least 5 more seconds of fame in addition to the 15 I got from JYRK: before...



There's some pictures of the event already! Plus this one I took:

Avaruusdisko at the Kuudes Linja bar in Helsinki. Tuomas Toivonen played a set to celebrate the release of his New Album. Unfortunately he was bothered by some Friday the 13th -style technical problems (a missing wall-wart?). The place was packed when he was playing and I guess it cleared up nicely after I started :-)... But I did get a whole bunch of them dancing. Then about 15 minutes into the set I was told it was too "difficult" and that I should cut it short. :-( But basically, that puts me in the same company with Marshall Jefferson...

Once again at Ilokivi. This was a nice party co-arranged by Jyväskylä's own Phonour and Sievä clubs and Efekti RY. All the local greats were there, DJ's Naks & Wille R, Juho Kahilainen, Dr.Robotnik live in the upstairs, and also J-P Parikka from Tampere playing records.
