Donnell & Douglas
bio_duo2.jpg
Donnell & Douglas’ new single is called The club is open. It’s an impressive hard house track, which almost forces you to give yourself up to the beat. The single includes mixes from Jaakko Salovaara and Heikki Liimatainen, who are the producer´s behind acts such as Darude, Dallas Superstars and Bomfunk MCs. ´The club is open´ has been licensed to 16 countries so far, and the number is constantly growing; Finland, Spain, Andorra, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Malesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand.

The licensings have already spawn to releases of 12” vinyl single and CD-Maxi in Germany, as well as 12” vinyl release in Spain. ´The club is open´ has also been released in Australia on a box office hit compilation, Nick Skitz´s Skitzmix Vol 14, as well as on the Hard dance 2003 edition of huge dutch Dance Valley compilation. Along reaching place #1 on the official Latvian dance chart, the track has reached high positions on the playlists of many big disc jocks like Tom Harding, JS16 / Dallas Superstars, Dj Vinylgroover, Lisa Pinup, Nick Skitz, Darude, Judge Jules and the Warp Brothers... just to name a few.

The aerodynamic duo of Donnell & Douglas consists of Finnish writers Joel Kalsi and Ari Myllymäki, who started the project in the fall of 1999 to create more experimental and darker music along the dance music projects they had in the past. The cold blooded Finns work at Studio Ice Cube, which is not just a clever name, but really consist of recycled industry cold room parts. - It keeps the warm air inside during winters and outside during summers, Joel and Ari laugh.

Neither one of the boys have a musical education, but they are both self-educated on music and audio production by working around with different projects. They started composing together in early 1996 with trackers, but soon changed in to sequencing with studio equipment at late 1997. Developed skills demanded high quality equipment, but years passed until computers and the home studio were developed enough for creating the music they visioned.

Joel first got into music making through rudimentary computers from his childhood such as the Spectravideo 328. He started to program games and compose the music. Later on he got some extra training on audio and radio commercial production by working at Studio Mediabeat during 2000-2001 and this is actually how ´The club is open´ got that phat speech; It was performed by Jari Huhtala, the CEO of Mediabeat and a professional vocal performer.

The time will show what the future has to bring from this hard dance duo, stay tuned!

DJ Bablo

http://nwps.ws/~urbanbreed/djbablo.jpg
First touch with dj´ing in 1992 when played first gig in local techno floor. After that played for free some gigs as a resident there and started studying computer science. While studying in 1999 Dj Bablo was asked to fill in for sick dj in a local club. After that he played as a resident mainly on fridays, but has been active since. Currently holding resident status at Club Becksu and ClubZone. Dj Bablo is also one of selected few dj’s to receive promos from record companies. Loves to play banging beats, but also gets kick out of trance and golden oldies.

Dj Bablo worked with music from day one. When he was a kid he toyed with volume control in every radio and recorded Star Wars movie to audio cassette. Worked from 1994 with trackers and moved on to real hardware in 2000. Currently runs small studio in Oulu, Finland, in search of perfect melody.

Current styles include: Melodic Eurotrance, Hard Trance, Trance, Eurodance, House, Hard House.

Gateway
http://www.hobitti.com/~gateway/dj_gateway3.JPG
Gateway started playing records in late 2002 inspired by several years of interest in northern Finland’s 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'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.

Vielä hetken saamme odottaa seuraavaa ClubZonea, mutta kerrotakoon tässä odotellessa viimeiset infot kyseisestä tapahtumasta.

Soppa & Redjack aloittavat alakerrassa illan tutun turvallisella tyylillä, joten kiksusta pitäville bilettäjille pitäisi olla heti alusta lähtien tiedossa hyvää settiä melodisen trancen parissa.

Bablo jatkaa siitä mistä Soppa & Redjack lopettavat, eli tiedossa on kiksuttelua ehkäpä vähän rankempien saundien säestyksellä, ikävä kyllä tietoomme ei ole vielä kantautunut tietoa siitä mitä levypakki lopulta sisältää, mutta annetaanko asian olla yllätys?

Illan toisen pääesiintyjän Donnell & Douglasin setti koostuu pitkälti heidän omista biiseistään ja remixeistä. Mukana on jo hyvin maailmalla menestyneiden biisien joukossa paljon ennenkuulemattomia promoja, eli oululaiset bilettäjät pääsevät nauttimaan ensimmäisenä maailmassa D&D:n tulevista HARD house / dance hittibiiseistä!

Viimeisenä lavalle astelee Sasha F, joka on varmasti yksi Suomen parhaimmista ja menestyneimmistä techno ja hard dance dj:stä. Sasha F setin aikana ei pitäisi ainakaan polkasta pitävillä tulla tylsää, mutta toivotaan, että turistitkin jaksavat polkata valomerkkiin asti.

JOS kiksut eikä polkat jaksa pahemmin kiinnostaa, niin kannattaa eksyä vähintään Wäinön yläkertaan, sillä hyvästä menosta pitänee Gatewayn kesäinen ja house-painotteinen setti huolen, että eiköhän kannata tulla kuuntelemaan sekä fiilistelemään muutaman olut-tuopillisen ääressä.

Tästä luulisi kesänkin vihdoin alkavan!

MUUTOKSIA : ainoastaan alakerta on ClubZonen käytössä ja Gateway soittaa myös alakerrassa.

Eli soittojärjestys tulee olemaan seuraava:

Soppa & Redjack (Trance)
Bablo & Gateway b2b (House/Trance/Hard)
Donnell & Douglas (Trance/Hard)
Sasha F (Hard)

Tarkemmat soittoajat selviävät sitten paikanpäällä ;)

Muistakaa sitten, että yläkerrassa tulee rockia, niin kannattaa suunnata heti alakertaan ClubZoneen.
