San Mejor (Drop & No:Status / Rovaniemi) [House] MAIN FLOOR ARTISTS:
DJ NEON
DJ Neon started as a DJ in year 1999, he Proteus, Friik, Triton and Ioni realized that there was almost no hard-dancemusic at all in parties. In Helsinki there was a wave of "lazy-music" back then and these guys wanted to hear some hard and fast music so they started to organize Säde-parties. DJ Neon plays only CDs and he owns at least 2500 of them by now. As favourite artists he mentions Gary D as one of his "gods", also Dumonde, Cosmic Gate, Rank 1, Svenson & Gielen, Green Court, Talla 2XLC, Push are his favourites just to mention some. DJ Neon is a hardcore technomusic-fan as he describes himself, music has always played a big part in his life - this fact can be witnessed in Northern e'Motion.
DJ Neon is an integral part of Helsinki's no:1 hard dance organization Säde. DJ Neon's fierce stageshow certainly stands the comparison to another Säde-resident Proteus (in fact, rumours tell that some people have seen Neon fly on stage, we'll see...)
These two guys are the rocks of Finnish hard dance scene, you will have the opportunity to feel the beat of the other half of the rock. DJ Neon visited Oulu in early 2004 and totally rocked the dancefloor, this time will be no different. Be prepared! DJ Neon will squeeze you til' you drop!
SLUSNIK LUNA LIVE aka Niko Nyman & Nicklas Renqvist:
Slusnik Luna is a phenomena that every trancemusic fan knows, huge anthem "Sun" is a track that has been played all around the world by all the major DJ's. This time the boys will come to Oulu and they will play a live-set that will leave the dancefloor stunned. Expect the unpredictable and come to witness this exclusive live-act at Northern e'Motion, this is not usual stuff!
Slusnik Luna has been producing music since 1994 and have managed to get out a couple of singles, handful of remixes and now a full length album of chillout tracks. All of them are highly recommended by us!

DJ GATEWAY
Gateway started playing records in late 2002 inspired by several years of interest in northern Finlands clubbing scene. His records consist mainly from groovy house tracks and euphoric trance tunes, spiced up with progressive/breaks records. Gateway likes to combine club hits with more underground tunes in his sets - a combination that is not often heard in northern Finland. Gateway gives a big value to mixingtechnique and progression in his sets, he is always thinking and feeling the reactions from partygoers while playing. There will not be too much 'genrehopping' although he sometimes likes to surprise the crowd with good taste of course ;)
Gateway's favorite labels include Subliminal, Credence, Bedrock and Tsunami just to name a few. He usually doesn't buy records by label, he only buys records that suit his taste - this fact guarantees sets that are unique and interesting. Gateway had 11 gigs in his debut year 2004, hopefully there will be more during 2005. Time will tell... Gateway's homepage: http://www.djgateway.info/

in bars and clubs since 1998.
