Orkidea - Live @ Radio Unity 109, YleX Radio, Finland 20.03.2007

I started going to clubs in the early 90s, right around the time when electronic music hit the clubs. The countless events of the early 90s and the completely new music style and the atmosphere of smoky caves were something completely new. At that time, vinyls and CDs were listened and bought to in record stores. The most famous of which in Finland was Street Beat run by DJ Joke (RIP). Jokke was also an amazing DJ and is considered the father of Finnish techno culture.

Certain radio programs were another way to discover new artists and music. Perhaps the most influential of these for me was Beatbox run by Aki Matilainen of Radio CITY. DJ Orkidea's first radio mix was also recorded here (which I still have on Beatbox's C-cassette number 18). At that time, almost all the money was wasted on record stores and luckily I have saved those records to this day. Elektronic music is still a big part of my life every day and I thought it would be great to bring out those old songs. Especially the ones that you don't usually hear on every mix. Inspired by this, I started making my own mixes and bringing out the songs that many younger people may never have heard before.

I personally like more melodic trance and my biggest favorites over the years have been:

From the labels Eye Q, Harthouse, Limbo, Perfecto, Platipus, Rising High and Superstition.

From the artists BT, Grace, Oliver Lieb, Jan Johnston, Matt Darey, Paul Oakenfold, The Space Brothers, Way Out West and definitely of course Scooter!

Most memorable events that I have experienced in club scene is in the early 90s, DJ Kid Paul live at Botta in Helsinki. Grace perfoming live (in 95 or 96) on the Big Bang (not 100% sure about this name) cruise from Helsinki to Stockholm. Last year was the first Luminosity Beach, where I finally saw The Space Brothers and Matt Darey live, amazing!

🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺

🌸 Reivaaja, musiikin rakastelija ja omaksi ilokseen miksaaja.

Trance, etenkin ysärin lopun ja 2000-luvun alun on kaikista rakkainta. Trancen, teknon ja housen alagenret, melodiset, progressiiviset, tummat sävyt inspiroi, toisaalta myös eurodance...

🌺 A raver, a music lover, started mixing for fun.

Trance, especially late 90's and early 00's is my biggest passion. The subgenres of trance, techno and house, melodic, progressive, dark tones inspire me, also eurodance on the other hand...

I don't expect you to know me
Or how I lost all my dreams
When I can't even find myself
In the choices I made

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
