Premiere of Bøne.FM next release 💚

Tomi Kokki captures the gritty, no-nonsense energy of a raw trance with ‘Lost In Time’ EP on Bøne.FM. Tomi Kokki, a producer and a DJ hailing from Helsinki, Finland. His productions, as well as his DJ sets, explore genres ranging between Trance, Breakbeat, Rave and Progressive-House, while blending the classic dance music soundscapes with modern. Lost In Time is a 4-track descent into raw euphoria and hard-edged emotional control. Avoiding trance clichés, this record leans into repetition, tension, and pressure over easy payoffs. It's trance for the emotionally exhausted — functional, unromantic, and weaponized. The creation of the EP "Lost in Time" was heavily inspired by the beginning of the Finnish summer. But it was also thematically inspired by the current state of the world, leading it being a mix of the opposites: hope and worry, happiness and sadness.  “Or just the truth: packed away my whole studio a bit too early and I just love to make trance in a DAW environment”

Tomi Kokki - The Summer of Love [Bøne.FM]

Premiere of SFEERBEHEER next release 💚

"Döner" stands out as a tasty and wild interlude at the heart of the EP. Built on a solid trance foundation, Orcus adds crispy funk elements, spirited percussion, and field recordings captured in a kitchen — evoking both the streets at 4 a.m. and a dancefloor in full swing. The humor is undeniable, but never at the expense of
production: it’s tight, punchy, and grooves like the perfect late-night snack.

With this second EP, Orcus solidifies his sonic identity. While rooted in trance and funk, "Funk System" ventures into new territory, weaving in funk melodies, groovy rhythms, and a deep sense of musical storytelling.
Each track is the result of focused exploration — a meeting point between power and nuance, structure and freedom. From heady buildups to dynamic drops, Orcus invites listeners into a world where rhythm guides the body and melody fuels the imagination.
