Helsinki Decompression 2025

My closing set at Decompression Helsinki, KisKis club, sunday 04.30-06

Closing set KisKis Club Decompression Helsinki

This mix was created last weekend at Helsinki Decompression. 
I was able to fill the Ponds-Stage with sound during the best hours of the Friday night into Saturday. Truly magical people, some of whom I had already met at dinner that evening and in the days before, quickly found themselves on the dance floor to let me take them on a journey.
With playful grooves and soulful rhythms, the set weaves quirky melodies and pulsating beats into an enchanting tapestry of sound🎶
Let this mix guide you through the enchanting hours, where each track unfolds like a cheerful story and invites you to dance with a smile🙏❤️

Just press "Play" and let yourself be enveloped by the enchanting atmosphere of this unforgettable night😉

Thanks again to the dancing crowd along the way; you can only be loved. Big hugs to you all❣️

Feedback is aprecciated like always😉

Helsinki Decompression // Pond Stage 18/04/25

Now this one was special. Played at the first ever Kiskis, a space I helped create, and somehow it still blew past my wildest, filthiest dreams. The energy, the crowd, the sweat... pure chaos in the best way.

Yes, I had some tech hiccups. Yes, I probably nailed like five transitions total. But who cares when the BPM’s banging, the crowd's losing it, and the vibe is pure slutty techno?

Huge love to the crowd. Your filthy, feral energy carried me. I’m dripping with gratitude for every one of you who danced, screamed, moaned, and made KisKis absolute magic.

BPM starts from 150 and goes all the way to 180, mostly cruising in the 155–165 zone. Genre? Fluid, messy, and ready to bite. Even with all the mistakes, this might've been my best one yet. 

Enjoy or relive it, if you were there.

Midnight House Mass @ Helsinki Decompression 2025

Giving—one of the core principles of Burning Man and Decompression. I can say, hand on my heart, that I gave it all I got. I'm just so grateful to all the burners who took part in this almost ritualistic house bombardment on Saturday night at The Pond Stage. So many strong memories were co-created. 

Special thanks to Osku for the sound, Kajsa & Aatu, and everyone else who took a leap of faith with the concept and made it a reality.

There is a part of me that lives for the music, burn-gatherings and UG raves, if you ask, I won't say no.

Isn’t it so that sometimes, the best thing you can do on the dance floor is to retreat inward?
Use the space and sound to slow down and check in with yourself. Reflect on life, on where you’re at.
Or you can just say fuck it, simply let go and enjoy the ride! 

I have a selection that, at least for me, has created a powerful sense of capability, that kind of melancholic euphoria, you probably know what I mean? 

Shared experience and piecing that together is sacredly important to me. I am willing to take risks when crafting that together.  What does that mean in practice? 
I’ve noticed that having a few surprises up my sleeve in terms of music selection really helps with that. When the crowd is even a little on edge, wondering what’s coming next, it keeps that good tension and collaborative vibe alive.

Over the past years, I’ve more often managed to create that “in the same boat” feeling on the dance floor. That’s the most important thing for me: when I see people exchanging approving looks, collectively building the co-created experience. 

I’m happy to put myself in a vulnerable position, even risk becoming laughed at in a situation where some electronic music purist might say, “You can’t do that, it’s tasteless crap.” But then it ends up working on the floor in that moment. And if it doesn’t, that’s a price I'm willing to pay. 

I believe emotional intelligence is just as essential to a great DJ as musical taste and a well-stocked record collection. Hundreds of nights spent on dance floors don’t hurt either.

I take this craft very seriously, but that doesn’t mean I can’t approach it with a touch of playfulness. I' active atm and in the past year I have played from Après-Ski in the Alps to Clubs, Bars to Underground Raves to regional Burning Man events. 

I spend hours daily digging new music. I have a vast collection, spanning from indie dance to minimal, progressive, deep house, and techno.  

I'm always excited to play. I have a deep addiction to moments where magic and emotions are co-created on the dancefloor ✨✨
