Chill Out Sunday on house-musiikkiin perehtynyt klubi-ilta,

laadukasta musiikkia, sekä tuoda esille dj-taitajia.
Kerran kuukaudessa, sunnuntaisin,
luvassa housea eri tyylein maustettuna,
rennosta lounge-tyylistä kovempaankin biletykseen.
COS alkaa iltayhdeksältä ja loppuu viimeistään
puoli neljä aamulla valomerkin tultua...
Tervetuloa !

Tälläkertaa COS tarjoilee vieraan Helsingin suunnalta ja kylään piipahtaa Orion.
Miehen soundi on yleensä progressiivisella suunnalla, mutta tänä iltana laitetaan,
ainakin aluksi, pienempi vaihde silmään ja matkustetaan housepainotteisella
kyydillä pehmeästi ja rullaavasti eteenpäin. Vaihdetaan isommalle kun vauhti kasvaa...
Mekaanikkoina toimii 2 residenttiä...
General & History
Before settling down to the capital of Finland, Helsinki, in autumn 2006, Orion has already been involved in electronic music culture for far over a decade. Starting in the early nineties in the industrial city of Tampere, where rave culture was at its peak, the spirit of illegal raves and warehouse parties formed the ground on which he still stands.
While living over five years in Rovaniemi, just a stone's throw from the Arctic Circle, Orion has influenced strongly the electronic music culture of the north. As one of the key figures of the northern club scene he has hosted, promoted and produced countless club nights, events and DJ-based concerts all over Northern Finland and tirelessly pushed forward the culture and the music as a DJ and a promoter.
At the moment Orion works in the staff of Misc Management which is the first truly professional dance music oriented DJ booking agency in Finland.
Gigs & Career
During his DJ-career, Orion has made his way to perform in many of the biggest domestic parties with countless number of Finnish and foreign artists, live-acts and DJs. He has been performing at Koneisto, the biggest electronic music festival in Northern Europe, Hallmark, the biggest regular club in Skandinavia and Time Tunnel, one of the oldest and most respected annual events in Finland - to mention a few.
Orion has also been the musical representative of PR-events for several corporations like Mini Cooper and Philip Morris and headlined clubs outside Finland for example in Kostamus (Russia) and Augsburg and Kempten (Germany). Today Orion is still one of the busiest DJs/promoters in Finland.
The Sound
As a DJ Orion loves to blend styles and genres - to build the set up with house & progressive vibes and vitalize it with breakbeat and techno. On the era of digital music, he doesn't just rely on the easiness of latest MP3-releases:
"I love to use my music collection on a wide scale, not just the records I've bought in the past two months. Forgotten classics, old vinyl gems, they are all there - combining that old sound with the fresh releases has really proved its power on the dancefloor. That's what electronic music is at its best - timeless."
Residencies at various club nights have progressed Orion's style towards technique perfection - although he always gives more value to DJ's ability to interact with the audience and to build the set correctly to fulfill their expectations.
