Swedish Electro vol. 3

Swedes did it again! I'm starting to suspect they have something in their water, since it is such a hotbed for talent as this compilations shows. This compilation has "only" 63 tracks. You did read right! I am writing this while listening to this compilation and loving it. Some songs sound like old Depeche Mode (at least to me they have some similarity), but not in a bad way at all. As well as some sound bit older electro, but still work well. If someone asked me to guess the country these artists are from, I would have no idea, expect the ones sang in swedish. Some really sound that they'd be German bands.

The compilation is nicely varied case of older and new stuff, at least this is how it sounds. None of the artists rang a bell, but that makes it even more interesting to me :) Some of the tunes in this one are more poppy, some are bit darker and that works well. And for 5€ it is a bargain! That is the minimum price at Bandcamp for the compilation.

To me this comp keeps ones attention and doesn't let it down, since it is enough varied case. It is not only that 80's sounds, but also modern and darker sounds. That is one thing that makes this exciting. You never know what the next song will be like. I'd say this is educational compilation and really good showcase of Swedish talent! Some of my favourite ones come from there, for example Covenant and Ashbury Heights.

 I am not too familiar with the genres in this kind of music, since I'm newcomer. I only know if I like it or not, and this album I do like.

Tarec interview

Hi folks!

New week and new interview. This time I did an interview with Tarec, whom some of you might know as Tom Volt. Here you go!

Back in the day you played hardcore and organized parties as Tom Volt, but decided to call it a day. What happened? I've always been very ambitious and therefore also determined. I felt that I didn't get enough out of just being a dj and wanted to challenge myself to aim higher. That is why I decided to take a few years off to study sound designing and above all to improve myself so I could return better than ever. Being a dj was never my only goal, I wanted to make my own music and play it. How did Tarec get started? The vision had been in my head for years, but actually it got started when I got to know three people, who later on became my friends. Oskar Hänninen (Digital Mindz), Atte Riihonen (Riiho) and Miro Ilomäki (Bounter). I got inspiration from congenial friends and later on got motivation from their success. When I got accepted to study sound design I decided it was right time to turn my life upside down and concentrate only on one thing (sound/music). For those, who haven't heard of Trarec before, how would you describe your sound? Over the year I came across for example ”Rawstyle with snares”, ”Rawbreed”, ”Industrial Rawstyle” ”Rawcore” description of my own tracks, but I personally don't want to categorize them to anything else than hard electronic music. It is true that new tracks are very much Rawstyle and Crossbreed inspired but even at the moment there are almost pure hardcore ones in the making. Already released ones I'd describe as uptempo Rawstyle with Hardcore and Crossbreed flavor. Music without borders! Why the musical change? Actual change never happened. Even as a dj I liked many different styles and tried to mix them as much as I could. Now as a producer I've got a chance to create entirely kind of tracks I want to. Mixing genres has gotten much more common now that puritanism has stepped aside. From dj point of view does this keep things fresh and offer more challenge? Absolutely! Also there has to be limit to this. As a dancer it is confusing if genre changes during the set too much. Personally I try to keep up a certain style despite the genres. If crossbreed/industrial tracks sets in well with set I've built, why not play it? Quite a few hardcore artists have moved onto rawstyle. What is your take on this matter? Evolution of hardcore has been slow lately and I understand why many have made the change over to rawstyle. There are already many sub-genres and variations in rawstyle, not to mention it huge hype. I wish more variation in hardcore. What got you into electronic music in the first place? I discovered around 2000-2001 Dj Dean (Tunnel Tranceforce) and Tiesto's sets and tracks that I listened to a lot. One of the sets had Dj Fuax's Ping Pong which most likely was first hardcore track I heard. After this I ended to Thunderdome, Rave Massacre etc, records. It didn't take long that I discovered hardstyle (2003) that came with hardcore big part of my life. Rawzone looks like to shape into a big event, what are your expectations of it? Expectations are running high! I think Warface is excellent booking, since he has been very active and is really popular at the moment. For example set at Hard Bass 2016 with Delete and Deetox was huge talking point. I am excited of the promised spectacle, that has been missing in Finnish events. I heard that inspiration was taken from Netherlands biggest events. What can we expect from Tarec in the future? A lot of music. I've been working hard on music and my goal is to release withing six months 10 quite different tracks out. Some might sound more hardcore and some more rawstyle. 2016 is my year and I'll show what I'm capable of.

Riiho interview

Hi all and happy monday! 

Well at least as happy it can be... Another week, another interview! This time around it is with Riiho, who will be rocking the party next time at Rawzone party at Y 31 (26th of march). He is next generation producer/dj making his mark big time on the scene and deservably so! Hope you like the interview, which was translated from finnish by yours truly.

You have been making really good material for several years now. What got you hooked on electronic music and especially on hardstyle?

First of all, big thank you!

My friend gave me a usb stick full with all sorts of music. From there I found few hardstyle tunes. Those tunes aroused interested in the hardstyle genre and that was the beginning of it.

If we compare Finnish scene to other countries, you have been gigging, what are the main differences between the countries?

Main differences that I think of is the size of the events and scene. In Netherlands parties the atmosphere is also something, that everyone should go and experience.

Where the inspiration for the tracks comes from?

Most of the times inspiration hits me when I've had a cup of coffee and start tinkering with old sounds or making new ones. From that point on it starts to reel under its own weight and many times I awake several hours later to having a cool part of the track ready.

What has been most memorable gig so far?

It definetly is Loudness in march 2014. 3-arena was full during our set and I've never seen so energetic crowd.

What is your take on thegenres getting blurred as an artist and as a dj? At least the line between rawstyle and hardcore is quite wavering.

I see it as positive thing. My own and many other find tons of tracks suitable for their musical taste, that lie between these two genres. Thinking from event point of view this allows more smooth progression for the night, when moving on from rawer hardstyle to hardcore.

Hardstyle has really exploded during last years to a big thing as well as hardcore has too. This offers naturally visibility to the genres and gives artists a boost, but how do you see this evolution?

It has been really great to see how hardstyle scene has grown in Finland past years and how much more there are parties. Larger audience gives artists, promoters and listeners more possibilities.

What can we expect from you in the future?

New music! I've been lately been working on new material in the work timeframe and little by little there is new production ready. One of the tracks is waiting to be released and will be premiered at Brennan Heart party. And couple of cool gigs are waiting to be released too

Talman interview

Hi all!

Hope you had a good week. This time I did an interview with Talman, known for his mailman as Joni Lång. This talented artist hails from Finland and it is really good to see next generation of producers making their mark. Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present you Talman

What got you interested in hardcore and producing?

”A Long time ago” when I statrted listening to electronic music, mainly around 2007, also rose interest in making own music. Back then tracks were more or sell simple and were of their own kind, that had trouble of finding their own genre. Therefore I started my journey into electronic music with hands up and trance. More interest came in it when my cousin taught me how to make most of FL Studios better, and how to make different genres. While I was learning new techniques and tactics, I also searched for different genres and thanks to friends track suggestion (Angerfist – Broken Chain), I got hooked on hardcore in a minute and later on producing came along, when my skills got on the right level.

Couple of your songs have computer game theme, where did this idea came from?

As an official nerd games and music are very precious pastime for me. When I'm not making music, I play and consume internet and vice versa. What could be better than making music with a game's sound that one has been spend hours on playing. There is a lot of good sample material there on speaks and effects, that suit hardcore. Movie samples weren'tthe thing for me and while I've sampled games I at same time have done invisible promotion for the products I like.

Tracks are far away from mainstream hardcore and are bit slower and are bit in the darker vein. Are you going to continue on this path?

Absolutely I'll continye on the same vein unless an inspiration hits on right frequency and I'd end up on ”lighter” side. Tempo will be kept on same lever from now on, but more speed will be in store at some point for a change.

Where the ideas for the tracks?

The ideas mainly begin with what is called basic structure. Draft of the project always begins with creating own kick, samples and adding of sounds, if project in question isn't old one from the past, for example, which might have a simple beat and experimental melody. As soon as I start project, it is not necessarily clear what the track will be like when finished, but it might live and change during creation to the righ direction when THE idea hits in the conciousness. Ideas mostly begin with computer use, games and other spinoffs and also with a song you hear on radio. Latter case usually ends going through core filter and released as remix or bootleg.

What can we expect form you in the futue?

Of course new material meaning my own tracks, remixes and bootlegs and also performing on dancefloors as in the end of last year I had an honour to join Kovaydin (a Finnish hardcore party organisisation). Maybe new sets as fill for mixcloud.

How easy it is for beginner artist to break into the scene, especially now on digital age, when there are tons of tracks being released?

I'd say it is very difficult, but not impossible. It takes a really hard work since there is so much music existing and one's work can get lost in the middle of it, unless one does something that jumps out of there and grabs attention. It is not always enough that you mkae music and share it on the internet, but you have to know how to ”sell” yourself to the other poeple, so they know more of you. For this there are tactics that each one uses, but the right connections and circles are helpful when creating a carees in wanted directions. In spite of all sometimes you hear of a bedroom producer who has made it into the bigger circles or record label as a artist/dj.

Digitalism has made different marketing channels available (Bandcamp, Soundcloud) and it makes it easier to discover new things, but also drowns real gems under the flood. What is your take on this? Is there too much material, since it is so easy to get your tracks out?

There is a lot of supply and every country has born into a genre. Per se it is not a bad thing eventhough it sometimes can feel that one canät find anything new, but through these services there is always something new and fresh coming by either accident or on purpose. More exotic cases represent theirselves and an amount is not obstacle to discover something new.

What kind of equiptment you use for making music?

Laptop and pc with latest license by FL Studios. My main thing are samples and vst. Most of them are free, because with music you can get good stuff for free! The site I mainly download stuff is ttp://bedroomproducersblog.com/ but also acapellas from looperman.com.

smile emoticon I also like using Image-line's own products that come with the studio for example Maximus and different filters and Styrus. Paid vsts are Zeta+2 raw that I got purposely for producing hardcore, since the vst in question was created by Rob Pape collaborating with Promo.

What may we expect from you in the future?

New, familiar dark stuff and something new and wonderful technically and structurally. Time will tell where it eventually leads.

Radiomun interview

Hi!

Another week another interview and this time around we goto synthpop/electro vein. Radiomun hails from Russia and have released so far 2 albums on ScentAir label, which seems to put out only quality releases. New band for me totally, but lately been discovering new bands quite a lot thanks to their label :) As for Radiomun, I listened to their songs on soundcloud and they are really good! Very international and beautiful ones. Now that I'm writing this, Another Me is playing. Somehow this song just appealed to me right away when I heard it first time. But onto the interview!

How did RadioMun get started?

Radiomun as a band started in the end of 2013. There were first single "Now" and full-length album "Tot on the Mun" a bit later in the Summer 2014. First album was rather experimental, unique record, that was necessary for Radiomun's birth. Low tempo, ambient, trip-hop all mixed in one cup flavored with vocals. So now the band is on their way to release the second LP. No title or any specific information for you to tell yet, but it's gonna be easier for listening...we guess smile emoticon

You hail from Russia, how is the scene over there?

Our home town is Kaliningrad which is the most western point of big Russia. Geografically we are much closer to European scene but several words about Russian music electro scene can be said: pop music is on the top, rock music is somewhere between and electronic genres (not talking about club culture) is less needed. Small gigs, rare events. It's not enough.

Who are the people behind RadioMun?

Previously you could find a single person dj-ing having nickname Radiomun. While another one had been a part of WANT/ed band for few years.
All that time we knew each other and had some collaboration moments though. After little restructure within WANT/ed Evgeniy and Aleksandr joined to create Radiomun as a band.

You sing in English, was your aim in the beginning to make it to the international market?
Radiomun lyrics is in English. That was defined from the very beginning, or even earlier. We have to deal with English as a worldwide spread language, universal. We sing about deep experience, that's not just a few clap-step words and we'd like it to be understood. Besides English is quite melodical.

Who or which bands inspired you to make music?
Some people who are far from such things as synth or electro compare us to Depeche Mode. It's too funny and have nothing to do with it. Of course they are classics for us as well. Having a bit more closer look you'll see - Radiomun is absolutely different creature. Inspirations were taken from everywhere and very large amount of music, and it's still being taken.

Any plans for the future you'd like to share with us?

As it was said before the next Radiomun record is coming, new tracks are getting ready. Maybe this Summer or Autumn. By the way, why haven't you called us to play a gig yet? )

I gotta say, that is a good question by Radiomun, since the band is excellent! And as always, don't just take my word for it, check it yourself on Radiomun Facebook page, Soundcloud and Youtube channel

Clublife 3 years Birthday celebration and upcoming psy trance party

Hi all!

Hope you had fun this weekend, I sure did. Finally managed to make it to Brennan Heart gig (3rd time was indeed the charm) and it was worth the long time coming. I did manage to get ticket to previous ones, but always got ill before and had to sell the ticket sadly. But what a night, time to re-live that one verbally:

So our friend Clublife turned into a toddler last night. How time flies when you're having fun and wíth this club and their friends we really have been spoiled, as we were last night once again. Smiling faces all around, atmosphere through the roof and literally the upstairs balcony's floor was jumping. Literally. I could feel it bouncing while sitting thanks to raving people with smile on their faces. Is there a better way to spend your saturday night than with friends and other happy ravers?

Lucky Chucky had the honor of kicking the night of for the Birthday vip crowd and he played one killer set of good quality hardstyle. Sweet! Too bad only vip ticket holders were allowed to enjoy his set though. He is one helluva talented (will be repeating this word) dj, who should get more exposure. See him play somewhere? Check him out!

The clock hit 10 p.m. and time to open the gates for the hungry masses. I was honestly waiting for an invasion at this moment, but none came. it came later, closer to main man. This has been trend lately, which in a way I do understand, but still feels bit shame from artist point of view. Parties are coming like concerts: you go in just in time to see the headliner and then leave. Luckily some people did arrive early on to support local players and show them respect they deserve. Sorry, got bit sidetracked there... Mastraton was two man army of heavy beats in a Qult / Geck-o hard edm vein. Not exactly my cup of tea, but good way to build the night. The lads seem to enjoy themselves on the stage and got crown moving and warming up for the rest of the night. Somehow they have been flying under my radar totally, but they did have solid selection.

Next hour and new player in tha house! And at this moment the gates of hell (aka the 2nd stage) were opened. One didn't have time to snap fingers before the party was in a full swing on 2nd stage. That room went from the first beat completely BOOM and atmosphere erupted with positive energy. And Madshifta really knew how to get that crowd going with his selection of melodic hardstyle and put on energetic performance too. You really could feel him smiling there, there was just this positive energy soaring through the room that makes these parties so special.

In main arena Second Level showed crowd how to rock the party big time! He was also filming his new video. That might've been partial reason for his enthusiastic and ducacell bunny stage show, but who cares. I never got into this edm/big room/electrohouse sound he played, but that is just me. Rest of the crowd disagreed (luckily) with me and they loved it. Ok, I might not have enjoyed musically his set, but he is really talented young lad, who clearly does what he loves and it shows. And most of all, he knew how to both read and work the crowd. Full points for him on this! Second level put on an energetic stage show with jumping around, mcing and made the crowd jump on palm of his hand. And he did warm the crowd in an incredible way for Brennan Heart really hyping up the him by doing a countdown of how many minutes left. Somehow his energetic persona even got me into his set, which is unheard of with edm! And another thing he did, was blow the roof off the Circus. My guess is Second Level will make if far and deserves it! 

Time to kill another one. While Second Level blew the roof off the Circus, Brennan Heart blew that bloody roof to the orbit (hopefully no airplanes were harmed in this). Second Level built the crowd's energy in an incredible way and Brennan made that energy explode with Imaginary, his first track, which send goose bumps down my spine and arms. As I said, I've waited for this moment a long long time and seems like I wasn't the only one. The set was just what I was expecting from him: good, solid hardstyle. I was in nirvana of pounding beats and smiling faces all around me. This is the moment when people in upstairs balcony made the floor jump. Literally. I don't remember this happening ever since Massive Attack gig in a tent at Juhlaviikot, so it was amazing to feel it again. That was one of those moments, you know, when you remember why you love clubbing so much: It is magic moments like these thatr you share with your friends and the crowd and feel unison with the strangers around you, who have come together to party their asses off. And the best part was all people smiling and and that positive vibe going through the Circus. I spoke with my friend of this and she said that this is unique for these parties and heavy metal gigs. True. Different genres, but dedicated crowd, that comes together their sanctuary for the love of music and that music alone bonds people together.

Next stop, beauty and the beat: Djane J7. I had an honor of doing a interview previously with Djane, which can be found right here on this blog! Commercial break over and I'll get back on track. Djane really took me by surprise with her set. It was lot rougher than I've come to expect from her and it was exciting to see new side of her and Djane rocked once again! I think this is just logical progression for her and no wonder she got residency on Toxic Sickness radio. Sadly quite a lot of people decided to leave after Brennan, but the ones who stayed were having it large. At this point I really saw how cleverly the running order was created. The night progressed to the last infernal minutes really well building it more and more, taking us on a musical journey through various genres. And this kind of genre blending is, in my humble option, a good thing. it is same thing I try to do with this blog: expose people to something they might not normally listen to or are bit more unfamiliar with and might discover new genre. Djane always has fun on stage and she loves every minute of her set and it can be seen and felt. 

Sasha F & Digital Mindz together can only mean one thing: Raw, hard and energetic. And right I was. Both are big players in the raw scene and no wonder. Thank you guys, I just got more into rawstyle than I've been before! Rock-solid selection and another terminator duo who aims to kill yer feet. Excellent set! Catch Sasha F live at Rawzone. Click here for facebook event page. I can just say wow. Their selection had this raw energy pumping from the speakers that rocked the remaining enthusiastic crowd. 

The good, the bad and the Sith aka last slayers of the night. What kind of madness can be expected when you put together incredible Mindcore djs (Zerathep, Waily, Skitzofrenik), Proteus and surprise surprise: Brennan Heart? You get World War 3 on stage, that's what you get! For this fiery, friendly battle I am just speechless. No egos, just group of friends having a blast on stage and rocking the crowd. Too bad many people missed this! If your feet weren't screaming for mercy before, now they were. As for this war I just don't know what to say. It really felt that these guys ran out of time waaay too soon!

Happy Birthday Clublife and thanks for the amazing party! And thank you fellow ravers who were here :)

Konradjeff interview and upcoming events

Hi all!

This time around I did an interview with Kondratjeff, who is a Finn bedroom producer. You might ask why introduce lesser-known artists but then I'll ask you why not? Without next generation of artists, the scene would die with the current generation. And I feel it important to boost new talent and give them visibility, so they can push things forward and keep the scene fresh and push it forward. So I'll be introducing new talent in the future as well as some big names :)

This time around, as said, I did an interview with Kondratjeff, who is a hardstyle producer making good, quality stuff. Check him out!

-What got you started in hardstyle and producing your own music?

I got interested in producing after I heard hardstyle. It sounded so different and I felt that, from various genres you get some many different vibes that I couldn't resist the thought of producing. I was already interested in producing electronic music before, but didn't know which genre to focus or what could express my thoughts the way I wanted to express them.

-Where do you get ideas for tracks?

The ideas mainly come from different moods and scenarios. With scenario I mean music that suits particular moment and I often imagine some kind of image in my mind while producing

-What can we expect from you in the future?

I won't run out of ideas, but time is limited. Every track is supposed to be better than previous one and I go through the trouble as much as I can. I always try to get new feel in the tracks, because I don't like to listen to music that sounds all the same.

-How is it is for new artist to break into the scene, especially now on digital age, when a lot of tracks keep coming?

Unfortunately I'm not sure of breaking into the scene. I just try to do what I like as well as I can

-Digital revolution has created new marketing channels (Bandcamp, Soundcloud etc.) and this usually makes it easier to find new things, but also some gems are lost in the mass of tracks that are available. What is your take on the subject? Is there too much supply, because it is easy to release material by oneself?

I think it is only good thing that people can share their music. Before long guys making good and quality stuff will get noticed. Networking is the best way these days to get noticed.

-What sort of software you are using?

I use FL12. Looking to get new headphones. For now old Turtlebeach ones will have to do hehe.

-What can we expect from you in the future?

I'm not sure, what I'll be doing, but one thing is sure, I will not quit making music.

Thank you Kondratjeff for the interview! It was translated from finnish.
