For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

It would seem that you have returned for another offering from the audible gods, this one (or any in the future) will not disappoint. Another special delivery from the blessed lands of Helsinki. The god behind it is Olli Koponen; a resident favourite of the local dance floors, he jumped at the chance to put something together that didn’t revolve around a 4 x 4 formula. 

He’s delivered a bit of masterpiece, expressing his knowledge of all things music in great detail. The mix reeks of passion and understanding, consistently evolving whilst the narrative remains strong, ebbs and flows of ups and downs. Dusting off all-time classics and seamlessly integrating Neo-classics, digging up old emotions and inciting new ones. There is a lurking, pulsating current that permeates this mix but never actually breaks the surface, a perfect demonstration in the art of restraint. Euphoria still exists, this is a gentle reminder of where to find it.

FHUO # 59 // Olli Koponen

What a takeover! @supersoundglobal delivered two hours with the sweetest slow chuggers you can imagine. IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, YOU BETTER TUNE IN! They are three friends, who developed their passion for digging and collecting records in their hometown near Lake Ammer in southern Germany. Since then they launched a YouTube channel and and a monthly radio show at Munich’s renowned Radio 80000, in order to share their latest discoveries of forgotten balearic treasures.
