Let´s get Twisted!

Years ago, when the clubbing culture was fresh and still mainly underground, certain music styles were developing amongst the more energetic subcultures. U.K. was the main source for several ground breaking steps forward such as Drum & Bass. And at the while house was getting more recognition in the mainstream, new, or should we say nu, more aggressive styles were embraced by the more underground ravers.

Gathering its inspiration largely from the continental rave, techno and hardtrance and fusing it to british garage and house (not forgetting the local acidtechno influence), DJ´s like Tony de Vit, Blu Peter and Mrs.Wood were amongst the pioneers to create the sounds of Hardbag and Nu-NRG in clubs such as Trade, Fish, Heaven and Torture Garden. These clubs were the absolute apex of hedonism and debauchery at the time and were filled with fetishes and sexual minorities.

Doom was the equivalent in Finland. Everything at Doom reeked of leather, latex and bodily fluids. From the infamous flyers to the legendary decorations and ubiqitous DJ mixes their aural and visual presentation was so invasive that it overwhelmed everyone who attended their parties. As Wayne G declared in his legendary collaboration with

Stewart Who? :

"Excuse me, do you fuck as well as you dance? Are you as hot in the bedroom as you are on the dancefloor?"

Doom was the dystopian cyberphunk fantasy and Mr.A and Pietari were the ceremonial high priests punishing the weekday ravers (yes, it was a Wednesday club at Nylon) to ever harder frenzy of adoring sin and let them infuse into the abyss of sexual side of dancing. Their sound pioneered the hard dance scene in Finland years before there even were such monikers. Like many other genres in the beginning, it was more of a mixture of different styles: techno, house, trance, even some rave and acid, but always containing the funky edge. It had the soul and it had the character. It wasn´t about the fast bpm:s or the ruff hoovers but total indulgence to represent the culture it was about to create!

In the end, it appeared real, not just an Illusion. And when the night was over, you always felt that something remarkable had changed.
