Toiseen Rovaniemen ClubZone-iltaan olemme kutsuneet Rovaniemen oman pojan DJ Mr.A:n. Nykyisin tuottajanakin kunnostautunut Mr.A on tunnettu ympäri Suomen monipuolisista ja valloittavista house-seteistään. Mr.A on DanceteriA-klubi-iltojen residentti jotka ovat kiistämättä pääkaupunkimme laadukkaimpia house-bileitä. Mr.A on erikoistunut viime aikoina pitkiin setteihin ja semmoinen kuullaan myös Rovaniemellä - kaksi ja puoli tuntia täyttä tykitystä. Ilta keskittyy muutenkin vahvasti housen ympärille, Rovaniemen house-spesialisti San Mejorin house-setti pistää varmasti vipinää jalan alle, tosin tuskinpa ClubZone residentti Gateway tuosta kauaksi jää. Luvassa siis menevää housea lähes kaikissa sen eri muodoissa, FED ry. toivottaa teidät kaikki jälleen tervetulleeksi!

Mr. A short english biography:

mra_promo.jpg

Born in 1970 in Helsinki, Finland, thus spending most of his childhood way up in Lapland, this musically talented Dj / Producer was blessed with the seed of perfect tune of the ear in his mother's milk. Growing up listening classical music his father used to listen to, natural progression was to start taking piano lessons at the age of 6. Living up north until the age of 18, sneaking his way to local discos underage, he quickly found the world of electronica.

It was 1993, one of the longer visits to London (a two week holiday turned into a 3 months),he went to Trade and heard Tony De Vit play one of his marathon 18hour sets. `It just blew me away. It was right there I realized what it takes to be a DJ. How to build the night. To bring it up, slow it down, surprise the crowd. You go to clubs to forget your worries, your everyday bullshit, lose yourself. The Dj and his music are in charge of all that. That's what he did. I just had to try it too. "

It has been a wild ride for the past decade for Mr.A. From the early days of more uplifting and balearic house through hard edged sounds of underground techno to this date, he´s gone through almost all `genres` of house music. " There´s so much good music out there that it´s impossible to narrow it down to just one genre. As long as its funky, sexy, has a good driving rhythm, it's atmospheric and something I hopefully haven´t heard before, whether it's Housey, Funky, Tribal, Proggy or Vocal, if it fits the mood, I'll play it."

San Mejor short english bio:

Sanmejor_1.jpg

San Mejor is an artist that is devoted to music. He plays different styles of house, starting from deep and emotional vibes to groovy bassline house with the spice of trance and progressive. His sets are known to be energetic, uplifting and appealing to the crowd. Lately he has been interested in producing music and he is currently working on his own projects.

Gateway short english bio:

Gateway_1.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 and sometimes even techno. 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 always builds his set towards more and more uplifting sounds, and acts based on the reactions from partygoers while spinning. He never plans his sets beforehand, his sets are always built real-time behind the decks. There will not be too much 'genrehopping' although he sometimes likes to surprise the crowd with good taste of course.

Noniin, ilta takana. Oli kyllä melkoisen hiljaista sinne yhteen-kahteen asti, onneksi sitten tuli hieman porukkaa ja saatiin bileet aikaan. Viimeinen tunti olikin sitten sitä mahtavaa herkkua jota sopi odottaakin, yksi parhaista tunneista bileissä koskaan IMO. Herra Aa soitteli klassikoita ja uutta tavaraa sekaisin, etenkin tribaaliversio Greece 2000:sta, Rui Da Silvan Touch Me ja Smoky Room toimivat kuin kuuma veitsi voihin. Omien lämmittelyjen kohdalla olisi voinut soitella rennomminkin mutta eipä se olisi ihmisiä lattialle tuonut, San Mejorin setin aikana olisi voinut kuvitella tungoksen lattialle - soundi nimittäin oli just paikallaan. Harmi että ihmiset oli NIIN passiivisia.

PS. Music was the answer :)
