Orkidea - Radio Unity (March 2025)

Celebrating this Saturdays 25th anniversary event of Finnish event and DJ booking agency Misc by uploading a very special house mix of mine I did for our weekly night JACK back in 2004. Heavily inspired by my trips to Berlin at that time. Tune in!

Orkidea - JACK Mix Vol 1 (2004)

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
