My early evening freestyle / Miami Bass set recorded live at Latin Explosion, Siltanen (Helsinki).

Bass! How low can you go?
Too much booty in them pants...
Ain't nothing tooty fruity, get on the floor if you got that booty...
Face down, ass up, that’s the way we like to—what?!

You might recognize these iconic lines—but they're not on this recording.
Press play and find out what's on the line this time. 

Freestyle, Miami Bass, old school electro, and a splash of Brazilian favela funk. Music from the 80s to 00s. I was running on fumes after work, but this set gave me life. Hope it does the same for you. Thanks for the invite DJ Marc Fred.

OLLI [KOPONEN] is a DJ from Helsinki, Finland, known for his eclectic taste in music, which is reflected in his dynamic DJing style.
Born in Cambridge, UK, Olli spent his early childhood traveling the world. His passion for music began at a young age, fueled by hours spent watching music videos on MTV and VIVA. Later, he found inspiration in the soundtracks of skateboarding movies, which eventually led him to explore the world of dance music.

At 17, Olli started DJing after taking a DJ course at a community center in Helsinki. By 18, he was regularly attending nightclubs as a dancer, and soon his passion evolved into a career. He began organizing parties at venues in downtown Helsinki, quickly earning opportunities to perform regularly at clubs and festivals.

Olli's versatility as a DJ is one of his trademarks. He can seamlessly craft sets spanning genres like soul, disco, funk, and Italo, as well as ambient, house, electro, and techno.

Over the years, he has performed at numerous gigs across Finland and internationally. He also consistently releases mixtapes and has been featured on several radio shows. 

In 2021, Olli co-founded the record shop OK Sound Helsinki with Kris Goodin, where he also worked. Today, he focuses on music production as part of General Electrix, a duo with Santtu XL. Their second release is due autumn 2025.
