About the Tampere EPs: 
I've been living in Tampere for 10+ years. I'm fascinated by maps and how they relate to local history. In this series of EPs I draw inspiration from my immediate surroundings, the city and its districts. 

Also, using city districts gives me lots of cool names since naming tracks is often the hardest part :). 

Tampere X–XIII
VENNM103

X: Jussinkylä
Jussinkylä (a.k.a. Juhannuskylä) gets its name from the church in this district, Tuomiokirkko, which was previously called Johanneksen kirkko. Another beautiful art nouveau landmark here is the central fire station. Jussinkylä has a quirky nature because of the asymmetric blocks and abundance of wooden houses.

Interlude: Konsulinsaari
There's a small island in the middle of Tammerkoski called Konsulinsaari. There used to be a cafe on the island until the bridge Satakunnansilta was built over it in 1900. Nowadays it's inhabited by ducks, mostly. It's a funny little thing that deserves its own interlude.

XI: Kyttälä A
XII: Kyttälä B
Kyttälä was originally a workers' housing district east of Tammerkoski. It was crowded, fully packed, and built without a plan. Kyttälä became part of Tampere in 1877. The shacks were shortly after demolished and a proper grid plan was established. Nowadays the center of Tampere is shifting towards Kyttälä from the old "west side" mainly because of the railroad station and new developments around it.

Kyttälä is divided into northern (A) and southern (B) parts. The homebase of Venntaur is currently in northern Kyttälä.

XIII: Ratina
Ratina is mainly known for its sports stadium and the bus station. Ratinanniemi (cape of Ratina) was used as a gravel pit until the 1930s. Nowaways the southern shore is a posh residential area with tall apartment buildings.

Tampere XIV–XVIII
VENNM104

XIV: Osmonmäki
Osmonmäki consists of couple of blocks in the northern Tammela area. A curiosity in this district is the pre-1910 built residential block of Annikinkatu which had a long battle against demolition but prevailed.

XV: Tammela A
XVI: Tammela B
Tammela has a vibrant industrial history. Especially shoe factories and cobblers were prominent in Tammela and Tulli areas. Because of the vicinity of the university, the district is nowadays a popular residential area for students. Notable landmarks include the Tammela marketplace which divides Tammela into northern (A) and southern (B) parts, and the Tammela football stadium.

XVII: Tulli
Tulli gets its name from the old customs house, Tullikamari. Tullikamari and the adjacent Pakkahuone hall function nowadays as a club and concert venue with a rich cultural offering. You'll also find Tampere-talo (Tampere Hall), Scandinavia's largest congress and concert centre, here at the edge of Sorsapuisto.

Interlude: Sorsapuisto
In Sorsapuisto (Duck Park) you'll see a lot of birds in and around the pond. There used to be a zoo with wolves and lions at the site of the current Tampere Hall. Nowadays you'll have to settle for the chickens and peacocks on display here in the park during the summers.

XVIII: Kalevanharju
Most prominent landmark in Kalevanharju is the 17-hectare Kalevankangas cemetery. Most of the university's (UTA) campus is also in this district.

Jero Nougues - No Going Back (Venntaur Remix) [preview]

DeepWit Recordings returns with a superb new single from Finnish artist Venntaur. Based in the city of Tampere, Venntaur is a rising DJ and producer specializing in the deep, sophisticated, and melodic, with a rich history of genre experimentation. Here he presents two floor-approved cuts, leading with the rousing “You Got Feeling”. A solid kick drum accompanied by a Detroit-flavored bass line opens the track, and things soon get spicy as warm pads, a swingy hi-hat, and a garage-style vocal hook enter the scene. It’s elegant stuff, sure to give good vibes to many late nights. Tokyo’s Datakestra (Adaptation Music / UNKNOWN Season) is on hand to give “You Got Feeling” a classy rub-down, providing a modern interpretation that shimmies and shakes with sublime confidence.
￼“Just Once” follows, taking things a into a more submerged, sexier sonic realm. A rumbling low end is complimented with gentle chords, floating synth strings, and breathy vocal phrases, driven along by a crisp rhythm track. Australia’s Jason Mitchell – of the Deep House Aficionado label – is on hand for a sparser but energetic remix of “Just Once” that features a prominent bass line and well-placed vocal hits. The drum track is of a slightly quicker tempo and is embellished with nicely syncopated claps.
Venntaur’s two tracks and their remixes make for a fine single that will rightly suit DJs in an after-hours mood. Dive in.

Venntaur makes and plays house music ranging from deep melodic to tech, garage and beyond. Having a rich history in genre experimentation and being an unashamed 80s fan allows his music to combine deepness and sophistication with refined cheesiness.
