Heikki L (dallas superstars)
When Heikki was ten years old and he got his first stereo system set up in his room. He stole all of his parents cassette tapes and listened to them until they were worn out. He then moved onto hunting down music from his friends and neighbours
At the age of thirteen Heikki met a local DJ who handed him a tape that was filled with techno and house music. Inspired by this Heikki bought his first record player and mixer, spending all his pocket money on 12 singles. For two years Heikki would DJ at school and soda-dances and just before going to high school Heikki booked his first gig playing at a nightclub.
Due to starting at such a young age, Heikki has an amazing ability to interpret the dance floor and this has ranked him as one the busiest touring DJs of Finland, always spinning the biggest venues and parties.
Gradually, throughout his teens his passion for music grew into a realization that he wanted to make his own music. All his summers spent mowing lawns made him enough money to buy a computer and synthesisers. Ever since then, his life has never been the same.
At nineteen, Heikki left his hometown Rauma and headed to the capital of Finland, Helsinki. Upon his arrival his very first music collaboration was signed to Sony Music Finland.
On Heikkis second project, he joined forces with party promoter Alex Kunnari.The first single Darkstar from Modulation ended up on Above and Beyonds Hard On label. The second release Spirits ended up on Paul Van Dyks Vandit and Ferry Corstens Purple Eye label. Modulation is still up and running with Big Star Records.
Helsinki was the place to meet amazing people with similar minds. One of them being Jaakko Salovaara. Surprisingly, even though getting licensed by a few foreign labels, their first project Spectro ended up in the bin. Their second project Hi-Tech however was signed to Ministery Of Sound which gave the possibility for Dallas Superstars to be born. Dallas superstars marked an era that opened doors aboard and brought Heikkis name to the attention to the great masses.
After the highly successful Dallas Superstars album Flash (2003) Heikki continued to work on music by co-producing Darudes album Rush (2004) which as led to his current project of producing, mixing and remixing Darudes first single Tell me from his upcoming third album.
Dallas Superstars humorously named project Supermodels From Paris release Keep on ended on several top djs playlists inc. Sander Klainenbergs Sensation White.
The highly anticipated follow up Higher State to the Dallas Superstars debut album, was released last year (2006). It included a remake of the classic Fine Day which is still causing a buzz around the world.
Now it is time for Heikki to step aside for a moment and create something utterly his own, to put to the test all that he has seen, learned, and understood. Squeeze this knowledge together into the Heikki L.
In his music Heikki has an ultimate goal to move people, give them shivers that would result into a mind exploding orgasm, share positive energy through out his music as well as through his DJing.
In 2006 Heikki L. partnered up with fellow DJ/producer friends Mister A. and Miika Kuisma to start their own label Danceteria Music. In the beginning of 2007 Heikki L. was just signed to the young and innovative label Fektive Records in Holland. He has had his work cut out for him through several remix projects, which will be out in the future releases of Positive Records, Ministery Of Sound and Kontor Records. Heikki Ls first solo release Let the Bass Kick has already ended up on Judge Jules play list which can only mean the beginning of something big on the rise.
