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

Orkidea - Live at Trance Bar (07.03.2025)

Purveyor Of Electronica & Original Headz - since 1997  : : : Dj : : :

Pushing phat, driving Analog Waves & grabbing dance music by the heart for three decades. Timeless.

Electronic Music for the Mind. Body + Soul.

Music is life, Life is emotions, Emotions is love... Forever Love! Spread the love!!!

: : : Spread it like the Wind Spreads...things. : : : 

it all began way back in the early 90s on a cold gloomy day, while listening to a 12'' Funky House record by the one and only legendary pioneer, Junior Jack I had dug through that day at the local record store(I think it was a white label back then and I had no clue who the record was written by at the the time!) and then the feeling took over, never left and kept evolving into a whole a lot in the magikal Electronica spectrum...uplifting & emotional Trance, Tech Trance, Progressive Trance, Club Trance, Progressive House, Electro House, House...this is all after my Funkmaster Flex era, but that's another story for another gloomy busy day....

These are some of my vintage and current DJ mixes from my 25+ years on the frontline trenches and recordings I've done from the "backstage" : : : ''bunker" sessions - just a cool spot (an expressive, creative sanctuary)I was lucky enough to hammer some wax and put together a few mixes where Black Sabbath and The Offspring used to jam in their early days. A true underground mecca, located right next to an old military base, a bunker where smoke machines, laser lights, heavy hitting line-arrays (this was before breaking over many circuits and over 20-30 pairs of speakers :/) and floor shaking//spine tingling bottoms lead the night and guide you into those blissful oceanic sunrises...creating some of the most blissful memories for me! Eventually, ended up owning and running the place, which was a nightmare on itself dealing with all the bands and artists!! 😅
Something about a small space dark room with a solid pounding sound system and blinding strobe lights....

Underground genres: Techno, Dub Techno, Dub House, Deep Techno, Melodic Techno, Tech House, Electronica, House, Deep house, Deep Tech,  Classic Progressive House, Deep Melodic, Hypnotic, Ambient, Deep Tech House, Indie dance/nu disco...doesn’t matter what genre it is, if it rocks, it rocks!!!



Exploring the beautiful, emotional and melancholic, melodic shades of, Progressive House, Techno and uplifting euphoric trance...''Underground lives forever baby - we're like roaches!''

All mixes mixed old skool analog on vinyl using XONE:92 & DB4 and are made with a whole a lot of love and a bit of grass or maybe a lot :) -atila 

Knee Deep In Sound - no hypes, no trends, just pure techno, progressive, trance energy & distinctive four to the floor sounds.
