DJ Orion (YleX, NRJ, Misc. Management)
Starting in the early nineties from the warehouse raves of the industrial city of Tampere, stirring the Northern Finland electronic music scene for over five years and settling down in Helsinki in 2006, Orion is today one of the busiest DJs in Finland.
Orion hosts a monthly electronic music radio show on both YleX, the National Radio 1 and Radio NRJ Finland and is also one of the former hosts of Tiistain Tanssi-ilta, the oldest EDM radio show in Finland. Next to his work at Misc. Management, the first Finnish dance music oriented DJ booking agency, he also runs and co-produces the long-lived Jack club in Helsinki and holds a residency in Tampere-based club One.
As a DJ, Orion loves to blend styles and genres – 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.”
Warming up the legendary Altern8 and Ian Ossia, performing at Finlandia Hall, Laserpoint, Pacifique, Koneisto, Labyrinth, Hallmark, Danceteria and Time Tunnel, spinning at 30C pool parties and -15C outdoor events, representing corporations like Mini Cooper and Philip Morris and releasing the debut single “One Sunday” on Solarstone’s Solaris Recordings are among his most memorable moments during the past years.
“I’ve been lucky enough to have people around me who haven’t been there for money and fame but for the love to music. I guess none of us ever believed how big things could get far in the Finnish outback and I can’t give enough credit to all those who have been co-producing, supporting and helping with all the countless productions.”
26.9. Alkaen hommelit muuttuu niin että alkulämmittelyt suoritetaan Amarillon Estradilla puoleenyöhön asti ja siitä siirrytään sujuvasti clubin puolelle jossa tanssitaan Fiiliksen tähtimiehistön ja suomen eturivin klubi deejiiden tahdissa aina nollakolme kolmeenkymmeneen asti.. Joten ei muuta kun kaverit mukaan ja jo alkuillasta vaikkapa burgerille!
