Another live dawless set from Vallilan Varikko Terrace & Bar. Also the first live set with my Octatrack! This jamming-based performance had a chill but groovy house flavour with an organic twist 💫

The vibes of this Berlinesque terrace in the heart of Helsinki's Konepaja are truly unique!

Chill & Groovy Organic House // Live Set // Vallilan Varikko 06.07.2024

Live dawless 2h set from the atmospheric Aaltone Bar in Tampere. I worked these pattern slowly, lingering in the loops and textures without any feel of urgency. Some hickups here and there but that's part of the live flavour ✨ 

This was the first gig of my Manse Mini Tour, second one coming soon!

Gear used: Elektron Octatrack, Digitakt, Syntakt, Analog Heat mk2, Korg Volca Bass and FMR RNC

Organic House & Dub (live) // Aaltone 12.07.2024

In this techno set I returned to some familiar sounds & textures and went on a hypnotic journey, delving into the patterns and jamming along.

The root for the set was one of my Jamuary jams where I tried some shakuhachi samples for the first time and dived deeper into longer jams: https://youtu.be/3AA6EHppTuw

This was also first time I got to play at an actual venue: at SHADES club in Lepakkomies, Helsinki. And what a joy it was!

This live set was from a support event for the old Lapinlahti Hospital which is a former psychiatric facility situated in a quiet area on the west side of downtown Helsinki and is in dire need of conservation and support.

You can also find some field recordings of the birds of Lapinlahti in the mix 🐦

We combined my dawless set and Joeli's bass guitar, looper and some bongos to create this MegaJam at my local cultural hub, Käpylän kiska 💚

We also asked some audience members to chime in and tell us what's best about Summer – and of course looped it as a part of the set ➰

Playing some of my re-worked Summer tracks with a slightly higher bpm, spiced up with field recordings from the Lapinlahti area. Featuring eg. seagulls, clicking door locks and some local shakuhachi 🩵💚💛

Going for that organic and deep sound, combining hypnotic rhythms with flavours from the eastern world.

I'm deepening my explorations in the soundscapes of MENASA (Middle East, North Africa and South Asia) while fitting them to my own organic & hypnotic techno sound.

Sailing somewhere between dubby grooves, rolling polymeters and hypnotic rhythms topped off with some analog bass goodness 🎛️
