I’ll be playing in Israel again on the 17th of October! See you all there, ask around for details…
Khan Altay & adventures in Siberia!
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…)
Tunne
Hey, I finally managed to upload this, it’s a new video made already some time ago by a friend of mine for her school project. The music is from Jani. It’s great work, and should make everybody think at least a bit… Because we all are trapped in this same cage right now, however free-thinking and -acting we imagine ourselves to be…
Where do you want to go this summer?
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…
Spring hailings
OK, the long winter is now starting to be behind us, and it’s time again to shake away the crust of dust gathered in the dark times, and fix our gaze to the future, shining bright (oh, so bright!) in before of us.
What this means, of course, is that the party season has started! These are the currently (more or less) confirmed shows coming up. If you’re local, you’ll find them, no need to put more info here 😉
4.4. Antwerpen
25.4. Moscow
3.5. Izhevsk
8.5. St. Petersburg
23.5. Kiyev
25.7. Gorno-Altaysk
And I’m sure, there will be some more coming up as we go on with the ride 😉
I would ask people to pay special attention to that last one, I believe it will be a very special occasion, since already the nature alone is a reason to consider the trip. I invite everybody to come there and share in the moment of the full solar eclipse, on the point of the Earth that is the furthest removed from the sea, in the ancient and magical lands of the Altai mountains…
Bizarroworld is OUT!
Yes, it’s finally here! After unimaginable computer problems and numerous other delays… Our gift to the darkness of winter.
Without further speeches: Aavepyörä and friends extremely proudly present over two hours of the best, select underground trance.
Download it, love it, and tell your friends about it…
The winter solstice is now just past, and we are heading towards light again. Before we even realize, summer will be here again!
Pictures from this summer’s parties!
OK, Space of Joy went fine, the set was one of my best, at 11 am with at least 30 degrees in the shadow, and people just still going wild!
So thank you for the organisers, all the party people, and especially all who took care of me when the sickness hit me 😛 Phew, that was rough, but then again, I think almost everybody were sick at one point or another…
I have uploaded the pictures, and also the pix from the BK Family 6 years festival and the 6th Sun festival… In the usual place!
Next coming up the Moondrops party near Jerusalem, with Afgin, whee 😀 So all oldschool lovers, be there!
There might be a festival in Russia in the beginning of September, I saw myself already on the lineup, but the organisers haven’t really contacted me yet. I’ll try to be there, but it’s going to be tricky for several practical reasons… :/
Other than that, I finally seem to have some money saved up so I might be able to buy headphones and continue writing music 🙂 Yai! I’m continuing in my school for the next year, but I hope to do more music this coming winter… And also there is coming up the comp with some exciting tracks from me & several friends around the globe 😉 Stay tuned, I’ll try to fix that one up after I come from Israel and get the moving to my new apartment (again….) done.
Oh and I put up some video at Youtube too… Looks crappy, I’m adding the original one to my gallery soon…
Back from Israel (again…)
So the Moondrops party was good, but sadly the police interrupted us after I had played for only a hour. Anyway, I got to play even that much, and the beginning of the night was very good with good old goa trance 🙂
Back home finally & Space of Joy 2007
So the planned three day trip was extended into two weeks, and I ended up on the 6th Sun festival for the summer solstice. It was a really magical and beautiful gathering, and I can just say thank you to the organisers who made it all possible and did such a lot of work to make it all happen.
The solstice night with all the fires, mist and just fantastic people was really special!
I hope to have pix soon online from both the parties…
!Israel date updated again!
I am playing at the Space of Joy festival in Ukraine, happening between 25.7. and 6.8.! Wow, cool, I love the Ukrainan partypeople, and the Crimean peninsula is sure beautifu 🙂
There is also an outdoor party in Israel near Jerusalem on 17.8. It probably won’t be publicly widely announced, so ask around, as usual 😉 I’m also staying for a few weeks, so if somebody wants to book me for another party, now is a prime time to save a lot on the flight prices 😉 (I think it would be fair to share them between organisers?)
The BK Family party was great, now staying here for a while…
Also, there has now been talks about a party in Israel in August, and some parties in Ukraine later this summer: keep tuned…
-love, Kim
