ELEKTORNIGUESTMIXES

Releases

'Tis the season for giving, so this month we present to you not one, but two(!) mixes. 

Following teemup's banging contribution comes Pataässä with some deep and balearic house-vibes. 

You might have tuned into Pataässä's radio show Eläimien Kirjoissa on IDA or attended his DJ nights, like for example Space Dance, or heard him play live at Turku Modern, Dj Pataässä is a long-time favorite of ours and this mix shows you why. A sure-shot-selector with impeccable taste, Pataässä takes you on a journey of buttery transitions and vulcanic emotion. Pure bliss! 

But don't take our word for it... Put on your favourite headphones, hit the play button and let Pataässä take over!->

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX003: Dj Pataässä @patistiini

elektorniguestmix003: DJ PATAÄSSÄ

After a little pause in the series, we are back with a mix from singular local deejay Illyana!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX005: ILLYANA @illyana 

Illyana is one of Oulu’s deejay scenes realest. Always true to their vision Illyana has done it all in the local scene from deejaying bar nights, to playing festival stages to uncompromising sets at underground parties. Artists like Illyana are invaluable to the local scene and one would hope to see them play way more in Oulu and beyond! If you ever see their name on the line-up, don’t miss it as you are sure to experience something special!

Here Illyana channels their set at the recent Portaali underground night, with eerie bangers, genre-fluid turns, uneasy emotions and occult atmospheres.

Hit play, open your mind and close your eyes. Prepare to traverse through a portal to the unknown...

elektorniguestmix005: ILLYANA

The first international contribution to the ongoing and ever-growing mix-series comes from our friend Patås!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX006: PATÅS @gabrielpataas

Patås is a fantastic deejay and producer from Oslo, Norway. An integral part of the KAFÉ HÆRVERK (home of the Oslo underground scene) crew, Patås also runs the Lek.rec record label with Kim Dürbeck and Làrus Sigurvin. The label’s first release was Patås’ own LEK 12”, which eagle-eared listeners might have heard played on the previous Elektorni radio show. On top of deejaying, Patås has also been active playing banging live sets in Oslo and beyond.

Here Patås presents us with a high quality fast-paced, to-the-point propulsive techno mix that grabs you, takes you in its firm hold and eventually releases you out into the wild a better person. Perfect if you need to get yourself into a weekend state of mind. 

Enjoy!

elektorniguestmix006: PATÅS

Our newest mix is provided by cultish member and Elektorni semi-resident Otilia!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX009: Otilia @vilmaotilia

Otilia has been on fire recently, playing gigs in Bristol, Oslo, Bergen and Helsinki clubs like VUM, Post Bar and Kaiku. A versatile vinyl DJ, who is known for playing quality-assured selections of house and techno gigs sprinkled with for example EBM and bass flavors.

Otilia's Elektorni guest mix channels the summer with slow-burning heaters. "I was inspired by our recent b2b with Juhani at Post Bar where we played a peak-time set by starting at 105bpm. It was so fun that I wanted to play a mix of slower stuff and here it is!"

It's not too often you get to hear these kinds of sets at least here in Oulu, so go ahead and treat yourself!

elektorniguestmix009: OTILIA

The dope mixes keep on piling up! The dust has barely settled on Otilia's slow burning contribution, and here we are with another unique banger of a mix from the one and only Miha!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX010: Miha @mihachuvak

Miha is one of our favorites and his radio show Ohuessa ilmanalassa is consistently one of the most interesting listens on the local internet radio KRO. The mix channels the same freeform and wide-ranging flows that the program is known for. Starting off with a grinding metal assault the mix traverses through various realms dipping into styles like rugged rap, sluggy beats and ambient soundscapes and ending up with some acid electro and a jacking techno number.

So yeah, it's another special mix exclusively for Elektorni so open your mind and prepare for a journey!

elektorniguestmix010: MIHA

We are back with our second Elektorni vinyl release, this time with three original cuts from the legend Mesak (Klakson, Orson) and a remix from Picture (Help Recordings, Kalahari Oyster Cult)! Release date 1.11.2024.

The A-side opens with Mutella, a slapping electro track powered by a growling bassline and dripping with gothic emotion. Next up is Ei Damagea, a smooth slice of electrohypnotism calling to you from an otherworldly dimension inhabited by floaty rhythms and quirky synth stabs. Flip the record, and Mesak flexes his versatility with the 155 bpm piece Musantropia, cruising top down and top speed somewhere between electro, IDM and D&B. Fresh! The journey ends with Picture’s mesmerising remix taking Musantropia deep into an eight-minute techno meditation reminiscent of Basic Channel material, but with an Århusian take on the sound.

Pressed in Finland at Puristamo. @puristamo

You can pre-order via record stores like Decks, Deejay.de, HHV, Juno, Red Eye Records etc. or head to elektorni.bandcamp.com/album/mesak-mutetettu to order a copy straight from the source!

We are back with another international installment to the mix series! This time we have the pleasure of presenting to you a live recording from Bass Commander from Georgia! 

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX011: Bass Commander @vaaskys

Bass Commander is a Tbilisi-based artist, known for his beat-driven electro music infused with raw House and Techno sounds. He runs his Fear No System (FNS) label with a clear vision: to spotlight the imagery and sounds of the 90s and with the label he continues to celebrate the nostalgic essence of the era.

The mix we present, is one hour of a 3 hour set Bass Commander played at left bank to close after Pearson Sound at Left Bank in Tbilisi. The first hour has previously been released as a very limited cassette.

Enjoy and stay tuned – more mixes incoming!

elektorniguestmix011: BASS COMMANDER

The newest Elektornimix is by none other than Mesak, whose new vinyl release on Elektorni we are celebrating this weekend in Helsinki and Oulu as well as 14.12. in Turku!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX012: Mesak @mesak

If you've been following Elektorni or Finnish electronic music in general you should be familiar with Mesak's work and history in the scene so we will skip the bio and not keep you unnecessarily long from hitting the play button. What we will say though, is that you're in for a treat with this mix. Just like Mesak's own production work, this one-hour mix never stagnates. Various rhythms and moods blend together for a unique trip into the aesthetic world of this singular artist. It's our honor to present to you number 12 in our ever-growing mix-series, from a true legend in the game.

We leave you with Mesak's words on how the mix came about: 

"The mix happened rather spontaneously than perfectly planned. It includes some all time favs as well as dusty, less often played obscurities picked up from the garage storage room. Enjoy!"

elektorniguestmix012: MESAK

This new Elektornimix, hot off the recorder, comes courtesy of Danish link-up with Alpo!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX013: Alpo @anders-bjerre-mariager

There's something in the water in Århus. Seems that the music and deejays in the city have tapped into some kind of sonar Super powers. You might know names like Central and C.K, but here we present you an opportunity to dive into the sonar aesthetics of Safe Distro affiliate Alpo.

We first got tuned into Alpo's (then under the alias of Mr Interest) immaculate ear for selection when they featured on the early Covid-times livestream series Hyperboreal, run by OMVF. Since then we've enjoyed the fantastic Underated Clubmusic Ep 2 (https://soundcloud.com/anders-bjerre-mariager/dj-interest-super-radio-set-underated-clubmusic-ep-2) set as well as Alpo's recent ambient release No Time for Delay (https://lightweightelectronics.bandcamp.com/album/no-time-for-delay), which is mastered by our friend Natal Zaks, whom you might also know as Picture, the maestro who did the b-side remix on the new Mesak 12".

Alpo's contribution to the mix series is a whopping 4,5h journey that traverses from fluctuating between ambient and dreamy downtempo to jacking house musi, half-time d&b, electro + UKG, and more...

Here's Alpo's greetings you, the listener:

"Hey, my name is Alpo(All pronouns welcome) And thanks for listening<3 this mix contains a bit of everything, lots of unreleased stuff from me and my friends and things I like to listen to lately. I know 4 hours is a long time so feel free to listen skip to the part you like best. love from Aarhus ❤"

elektorniguestmix013: ALPO

The dust has yet to settle on our previous guest mix, the 4,5h opus by Alpo, but this hot off the press mix was burning a hole into our hard drive. So without further adieu:

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX014: Carlina Carpelan @carlina-carpelan

Post Bar and Kaiku resident Carlina Carpelan is one of our definite favorites from the Helsinki DJ scene and we are very excited to present to you their contribution to the mix-series!

Smooth transitions guide you through an hour of focused selection flowing from detroit-tinged techno to moody percussion, electro cruisers and more. An expertly executed mix. Recommended listening for sure!

Here’s a few words from the artist themselves:

“I wanted the mix to be what I currently need from music and the scene surrounding it: innocence, playfulness and fun.”

Enjoy!

elektorniguestmix014: CARLINA CARPELAN

The guest mix series is burning hot – banger after banger. This new one from Vaasa-based DJ Torolf continues the hot-streak!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX015: Torolf @torolf-stendik-official

The multi-aliased artist Torolf Stendik has released on labels such as Meltdown Deejays Recordings, Studio Barnhus and OO Recordings. Definitely an Elektorni-favorite from the current Finnish electronic music scene. Styles range from ambient experimentation to percussive soundscapes as well as detroity house scorchers and much more. We recommend treating yourself with a dive into the back-catalogue!

As a DJ Torolf's set's are also dope. A wide range of moods and genres can be heard in sets by Torolf.

This one was recorded live at a Tampere warehouse party, right after a Mesak live set.

The mix is accompanied with the following words:

”DJ Torolf mixing some wax for your weekend starter. Few bits digitally too. 140bpmish new & old techno & electro bangers ending with Don Ray etc….spot one unreleased Torolf track too! ;)”

Enjoy!

elektorniguestmix015: TOROLF STENDIK

Fresh from their Tapsan Tamppaus Oulu-debut Ojelma takes us into the new year with the newest Elektorni-guestmix!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX016: Ojelma @ojelma

Ojelma is a Helsinki-based DJ originally from Oulu. They run the Gomorra club nights, drawing inspiration from the murky and  hypnotic realms of electronic music. Ojelma has been steadily making their mark on the local scene in Helsinki, playing at venues like Kaiku, Post Bar, and Ääniwalli and is one to follow in 2025 for sure. If you get a chance to hear them play, we warmly recommend you taking it!

Goes without saying that we are very hyped to present to you this amazing mix, of which Ojelma had this to say:

"In this mixtape I wanted to bring together the style of music that is closest to my heart and inspired me to start my own Gomorra club night, i.e. music that is enigmatic, seducing and a bit gloomy or muddy. The mixtape is a collection of sounds that keep things intriguing and unpredictable, perfect for anyone who enjoys music that feels a little offbeat and out of the ordinary."

A fantastic 1h and 13m mix of chuggy techno, chilly electro and emotional EBM. Enjoy! 

PS. you can catch Ojelma playing with Carlina Carpelan on the same line-up as our own Oivo & Otilia, at Post Bar on the 25th of this month!

elektorniguestmix016: OJELMA

Oulu-based label Elektorni returns with a 12” by Swedish mastermind Daniel Savio.

The EP starts off with Noel Skum, a downtempo scorcher that creeps and crawls into your earhole and activates the body rock. Dubbed out ominous chords haunt the skies as the track squelches on. Next up Savio conjures the force of Mighty Thor to smack some sense into humanity. A classic electro banger infused with funky licks. B-side opens with No A.I, the definitive man-machine manifesto. Crunched out and ominous, an end-of-times underground resistance activator. Last track Reverse Cowgirl is a time-travelling digi-dub transmission carrying a reverberated message of caution from the Great Filter. 

Limited pressing of 300.

Spring is in the air and the promise of once again dancing on the Tähtitorni terrace is felt. Who better then to provide the second guestmix of 2025 but local favorite Tenko!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX017: Tenko @djtenko23

Tenko is a familiar sight, both in front of and behind the decks, at Elektorni and Elektyrmä clubs. Tenko represents the decades long lineage of vinyl deejaying tradition in Oulu. Solid selection meets mixing skills and an intuitive feel for putting together vibes. He's part of Space Installation Deejays, who also recently put out a great guest mix for Vuo records.

This mix traverses through a multitude of styles from percussive hypnotism to acid, electro, techno and moody house. There's even some memphis rap in there as well as one of the all-time definitive Elektyrmä tracks (first one to know which one we are talking about gets their name on the guest list of the first Summer Elektorni). Two hours of great music mixed with conviction.

A definite highlight of the already burning hot mix series!

Here's Tenko's words on the mix:

"This selection of tracks describes my purest feelings towards Elektorni (and -tyrmä). Always thankful for all the indescribable memories you have created over the years. Your universal acceptance for musical and spiritual progression provides eternal inspiration. Thank you Juhani and Samu. Bhavatu sabba mangalam."

elektorniguestmix017: TENKO

Edition 18 of the Elektorni Guest Mix series is here as have the honour of presenting an hour of music selected and mixed by one of the most active deejays in the Helsinki scene Mary Young!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX018: Mary Young @djmaryyoung

Mary Young has played festivals from Visio to Wibes. In Oulu you might have catched her play at the Tähtitorni terrace at the Pride-Elektorni a few Summers ago. Mary Young is also one of the people behind the London Zoo club concept which has brought artists like Kahn & Neek, Pinch and many more to play in Finland.

It’s only fitting then that this mix contains a healthy dosage of UK club music from straight-up dubstep, to steppers and dark UKG. Artists include Elektorni-favorites Al Wootton and SP:MC as well as exclusive material from Dreadlock tales and DJ Yöveli x Wrekkid, even a couple of rap instrumentals are blended smoothly amongst the tracks.

"I've been listening to a lot of dub, rap and grime lately, so the mix turned out a pretty dark journey inspired by the aforementioned genres."

Pyry is a our friend and fantastic DJ residing in Helsinki. På Stugan is his radio show on IDA radio and you can catch him playing regularly at various locations in Southern Finland. Here he has selected an hour of warm house music with groovy basslines, funky rhythms and deep feels. 

"Been down the house wormhole lately, so I figured it was time to cook up a mix using some of my go-to ingredients: tribal rhythms, jazzy sprinkles, techy wobble.

Keeping it bouncy. Keeping it fun. Nothing too serious — just house music, from me to you."

Another high quality addition to the mix library. Let the summer begin!

PS.

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX020: Somepoe @somepoe

“Built for late nights and low ceilings, this mix threads together some of the key elements I keep coming back to: rolling percussion, weighty sub bass, 2-step & 4x4 garage, some Baltimore and Jersey bits. A few unexpected gems that mean more to me than they might let on.*”

If you don't know Somepoe is one of the dopest in Finland, after listening you will know.

Enjoy!

It's been a second since the last one, but we are finally back with another fresh guest mix!

ELEKTORNIGUESTMIX021: Wormbox @wormbox

This one is from the duo of Break Mode and Cole Baby under their Wormbox guise. 

Wormbox have put out a bunch of dope tunes on labels like Paradia, Electric Shapes and their own Bed of Roses imprint. Their live presence has grown alongside their discography, from appearances in Portland alongside Thomass Jackson to Berlin club nights with Freak Out! You might also have bumped into their deejaying on their collaborative episodes with Freak Out! on Noods Radio.

Between producing and DJing the two have made an impression pulling from all sides of their electronic and dance music predecessors. The outcome is just as delightful as it is unexpected, proving these worms are anything but grounded.

We met with Break Mode at Intonal Festival, vibed, and have kept in touch since. Naturally we were very excited to hit play on this one, and see what Wormbox have cooked up for us, and the mix doesn't disappoint! It's a varied set where you'll find 303 basslines, freaky electro, steppy groovers and jacked up beats.

On a quest to find their way back home, the Dimension Seekers arrive on a strange planet. They find it in a state of disarray and its dominating species ravaged by a deadly virus. The defence mechanism of the synergistic hyper-organism has been activated, but the primitive inhabitants of this celestial body, caught up in their self-destructive ways, fail to receive the message.

The Dimension Seekers use their alien hardware to connect with the most advanced humanoids in the sector. Aided by their newfound allies, they begin to transmit their urgent broadcast. But is it all too late for the inhabitants of Earth? Do they have the capacity to unite in the harmony of the interdimensional dance, or will they face the Great Filter and vanish in the winds of time infinite?
