🌷🌷And just like that: spring is here! 🌷🌷

Good energies are flowing, smiles are bigger and everything just feels better – especially with a glass of delicious natural wine and sunny music.

This month we are happy to have the_sunny_music_connoisseur of Helsinki – @dj_ow – in the mix. 🌞 Tasty tunes, tasty vibes! We like.

"The sunshine carries your mind to summer, but then you realize we are not quite there yet" is how he describes the mix.

And the wine... wait for it, it's a good one. [TBA]

🌞 Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine! 🌞

🌼🌱 May, oh May! 🌼🌱

To celebrate the spring, warmer days, brighter nights and the opening of the Lippakioski at Karhupuisto, we invited the connaisseur parisien and a good friend of ours, Sharkki, to mix it up.

"The season for socializing with friends in the park has arrived, and I would like to recommend a selection of music that is sure to enhance your experience and keep your spirits high, while you savor refreshing bubbly drinks amidst nature's beauty. This curated collection encompasses a range of musical styles, from full-bodied boogie to more lighter notes of italo and house, creating a well-rounded atmosphere that caters to diverse tastes. Moreover, it is the perfect accompaniment to your delightful snacks, making your time spent under the trees even more enjoyable" is how @sharkkeey describes the mix. Wow!

And the wine [it’s amazing, just wait for it]

🌼🌱 Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do! 🌼🌱

Blissful warm days. Tropical nights. Holidays. It’s July – the month of taking it easy. 🌞👒⛱

This month we’re excited to have Maria Wesander in the mix. Such a delightful easy going, relaxed and funky mix for holidays, summer feelings and for those lazy never ending summer days.

”This is an all-vinyl summer mixtape with lots of funky basslines and cathy lyrics. You can sing along in English, French, Italian, Japanese and Xhosa. The mixtape is made to be enjoyed when you’re feeling good and soaking in the scorching sun - any time of the day. The tempos are low (because it’s too hot!) but these songs will make your hips move to the groove even if you’re lying on a sunbed. Enjoy!” is how @m_charlotte describes the mix.

🍇Strawberries, cherries and pet nat's bubbles kissing your lips.  This month's wine is Nittnaus' Let Me Love Rosé Pet Nat!  🍇 

A perfect summer wine made from 100% Blaufränkisch with  gentle bubbles and beautiful berry aromas on both nose and palette.

Made by the wonderful people at the Nittnaus winery in Burgenland, Austria. Biodynamically grown and naturally made, this wine is a perfect fit for anyone wanting to enjoy their sunny days with wine! 🍇

Hope you’ll enjoy the mix and the wine as much as we do! 🌞

My set from Valley Stage, Solstice Festival, Ruka, Finland.

Some problems at the end with the sound, I think there was some dirt on the needle. Kept it simple: just me playin' records and happy people dancing.

Inverted audio review:
"Down in the Valley, DJ Jese served up a jubilant helping of soul and disco heaven, giving the feel-good lovers their much-needed dose"

A bit more upbeat and danceable edit of a terrific track by the Chilean synth band Nueva Costa.
