My live set from the opening night of Trance Bar at Post Bar in Helsinki. This represent well what I want to showcase musically in these nights: wide range of trance from deep and progressive to driving and uplifting and from the newest promos to some timeless gems. 

What a night the opening was! Packed house with over 500 people, great and varied set of artists and their versions of "trance". Next event on Easter Thursday 17.04.2025 with myself, MFM of Below0, Joni DJ from Post Bar and Cool DJ Pinball Heikki from Skorpioni. So happy that there is a regular trance night in Helsinki again <3

The Ritual: 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝘄𝗼 (𝗩.𝗔.)
It was a dark place with the windows shut, and curtains drawn. This, said he, we call the black room: it is still in your power to go through with the ceremony, 
or to relinquish it; I leave you to your own reflections. After uttering these words he remained silent.
