Elmo Sarpaniemi (El Mono) and Roope Karhunen (Kaltstam) met at a local Helsinki radio station in 2005, and linked up soon again at an afterparty in 2018. Fueled by their mutual passion towards only the best genres ever they squeezed out a blend of goa trance, techno, electro, breakbeats, and IDM. This steamy and humid session gave birth to the title track, “Positive”.

The other ER original - 2G - sounds more like traditional goa trance, but still… it hardly is. Clocking the rhythm around 140 bpm like the opening track, it kicks in the club doors with a robust bassline, enchanting the cultured dancer with its peculiar melodies, leaving the purists absolutely cold evicting them for a cigarette. Because who gives an oink about purists, right?

This record is also fortunate enough to be blessed with two spectacular remixes. Neri J’s approach is a more club friendly, yet aetheric version of “Positive”, but don’t get it twisted. It still possesses something very psychedelic and raw. Ilev Luna wraps up the release nicely with his touch, that sounds like an interpretation of modern techno, but in fact could be a journey into your psyche. BOOM! This slaps.

CRUDE MIX 83 - Orakl

Divergence of the microcosm

In times of #Corona people have to keep touching each other without really physically touching each other, by staying #connected in their hearts and minds. This is possible and necessary in order to strengthen the cohesion within the population and to show #solidarity among each other. Through small gestures of attention, helpfulness, encouragement, contact, encouraging words and especially #sharing #music, we can help each other to overcome this unprecedented state of emergency and to remain an #inclusive and #supportive #community.

Our goal is to create a new #opportunity for #DJs from all over the world to share their music without borders and stay #connected #digitally. Moreover the artists will share their personal opinion about the #quarantine situation, explain how it affects them and how they try to deal with it.

Even if it is no longer possible for us to be together physically for an indefinite period of time and to live out our joy and love for music in #clubs and at #festivals, we can still #participate in each other’s lives through an online connection and stand this through together. Although states have #locked their #borders to each other, we shouldn’t create borders in our heads. Now is the time to get rid of all the borders in our minds and tear down the walls in our hearts - we’re in this #together.

Our 24th guest on board is Olesia.

@dj_algorythmmm

bzzzzz… bzzzz… VSA Radio is transmitting… For today’s broadcast we have the pleasure of inviting DJ Algorythm (she/her) into the studio. DJ Algorythm is the DJ project of the artist Vinnie Gotfredsen, known for her work as director and producer at Bedside Productions. Vinnie’s sound is an ecletic and quirky mashup of many genres including breakbeat, glitch, happy hardcore and trance. It’s soft, it’s hard, it’s cute and it’s sexy. Close your eyes and enjoy the ride with DJ Algorythm:

“I want to create a different musical experience where the listener will be challenged in their usual expectations of a dance floor set - it won’t necessarily be easy to enjoy and they might get obstructed in their dancing, but if they catch on beyond this point, a curiosity will be awaken and that’s where it gets interesting for me. Im all in for the mind-bending and deconstructing of the club but I will also please with alternative takes on pop classics and catchy high pitched vocals.

A lot of teenage nostalgia and internet-zooming lies behind my selection of tracks and Im hyper-aware of the symbolism and effect music have on people, that’s why I also tend to make my own edits of songs where I “feminize” vocals or cut out any trace of toxic masculinity - I believe in manifesting queerness through my music and I feel emotionally connected to all the tracks I play, so I hope the listener will get a sense of my personality when they listen to this mix.

It’s a big honour for me to release this mix for Ved Siden Af, a place where I at last in my life feel a sense of “belonging”

Thank you.”
