I’m playing next weekend at the Trishula festival, be there if you happen to be around!
The new album is ready and mastered, I’m now trying to push the whole packcage together, so we can enjoy
the relese still this summer!
I will also perform at THE outdoor event of the year in Finland, Metsäfestiwaal:
Participation highly recommended!
That’s all, CU in a few days on the dancefloor 😀
Ylläripylläri! Jos viime kerta jäi väliin, ja 26. päiväkään ei onnistu, on nyt kaikille yksi syy lisää tulla huomisen bileisiin. Ihan kun Laughing Buddhan live ja goa-retrohuone ei olisi tarpeeksi, soittaa meikäläinenkin tuolla yllärisetin 🙂 Ehkä täälläkin voi kuulla paloja uudelta levyltä…
Paikka Kaivohuone, päivä siis 19.3., lisää infoa täältä.
Kaikki mukaan, exni?
The Internets haz magically devoured the contents of this post.
No siis onko edes siistiä! Viimein pitkäzä aikaa kotomaankin väellä mahdollisuus päästä kuuntelemaan aaverytmejä, ja uutta levyä siinä samalla. Paikka on Club Playground Helsingissä, päivä viides maaliskuuta. Eikä soittajalista muutenkaan kehno ole 🙂 Kipinkapin kaikki paikeille.
YES! I’m performing in Finland for the first time in at least five years I think… All friends are welcome, come experience a real winter, and enjoy some rad fennobeats too.
Hi, sorry about the latest… One would be inclined to think that there are worse criminals on loose than us, but apparently that is not so.
Anyway, great work from Ori & friends to arrange the afterparty, and great sets from Roy & Max too. Also a big thank you to all the people on the dancefloor, you were amazing! Amazing eneries, despite all that happened… But there’s always the next time!
The new album is basically done with most of the artwork and everything, it just needs a bit of adjustment, and need to go mix it somewhere since it’s done on headphones mostly 😛
OK, here’s finally the remastered tracks from Tie ja vaeltaja, I put it up on Jamendo first, and it will eventually be available here too. The reason I put that up on Jamendo was that I think that they used to have a FLAC download option, but it seems that does not exist anymore :/
There’s some little surprises with some of the tracks, but basically they are the same tracks than on the original music disc, just mastered to sound better on sound systems.
In other not-so-recent news: the Atla Batla party in April was great! Sorry no pix, I don’t have an internet connection and just don’t want to spend that much time in the net. It’s evil 😛
Anyway, also no gigs this summer, I’m working a bit (leadin kids’ environmental summer camps) and also trying to work on the new album, which is about halfway done, and should be out in the winter. I’m also looking for a publisher for that one, so labels are free to contact me with insane offers of money 😉
There might be one very special party with my favourite party organisers, but more about that later…
Party people of Hungay: prepare for a night of great Finnish musíc!
And when, travelling, remember to aviod flying! I do, so I take the long route to Budapest through Tallinn & Warsaw with a bus & train… And train travelling is anyway more fun than flying, even if you don’t consider the obvious environmental benefits. We are standing on a thresholf of a new time & possibilities, and the time for decisions is NOW! Everybody should do what they can to protect the Mother Earth.
Also, new t-shirts are available, there is a limited set of about 25 fair trade t-shirts hand printed by me! Price will be 25€ + postage, so they are going dirt cheap! There are also available a few of the fair trade hand tie-dyed & printed t-shirts I made in the summer… But there’s only a few left so I won’t even post any pics, just ask from me at parties, they cost 30€…
I’ll be playing in Israel again on the 17th of October! See you all there, ask around for details…
So, I’m finally back home, and all the adventures are already beautiful memories.
And what memories! All this was, frankly, some of the most fun I’ve ever had!
And for the first time in a long time, I had some spare time to make a photo reportage in my true style again:
Pictures (sorry, these are offline for now!)
So, a big thank you goes out to everybody involved, who made it such an eventful and memorable time for me, at the festival and afterwards!
And just if you’re curious… No I didn’t play all my new tracks at the festival, since I was suspicious of the bass mixing of some of them. But I do have over hour and half of new music waiting inside my GP2X to be properly mixed and mastered… So it looks like at some time in the future, maybe next winter, there will be finally a new solo release from me. Actually I’m working on two: the one will be an album of tracks made from the start to finish on my computer with all the live tweaks and cool stuff that can be expected, and the other is the collection of the very straightforward party tunes I’ve made on the console… The first will be hopefully my best & most artistic release so far (I have three tracks in quite nice shape now already…), and the latter just some cool stuff to listen & party to, but nothing very subtle or imaginative… But anyway, more about all this later!
Right now I will have a small break in traveling to make some order in my own life, but there’s already been talks about a few parties in Israel later this autumn. So stay TUNED, and go gape at those pictures 😉 !
Also, I have new t-shirts for sale, they are 100% hand dyed & silk screen printed by me, details & pictures (they are all unique) will soon follow hopefully. And oh, they are fair trade, too (not organic, though…too bad, but it was too complex & expensive to try to find such a small batch of organic fairtrade shirts, it was always either…)
Ok, the latest parties in Belgium & Russia have been fantastic, even if the police ruined the one in Moscow, we managed to have a really nice gathering on the first of May, with special guest: Perun! 😉
Next up is Kiev in just a few days with Puoskari, Lemon Slide & the local ppl, and after that, Samara on the 13th on June…
So, it all looks like this for now:
23.-25.5. Kaleidoscope – (Kiev)
13.6. Mars Attacks! – (Samara)
25.7.-2.8. Khan Altay – (Gorno Altaysk)
And as usual, I’m talking with several people about more parties in different countries, so except updates soon!
I’ve also had problems with our server, so I can’t update the gallery. Well, maybe later…
