"Great artist album with a truly unique perspective on modern day sound of trance." -Armin van Buuren

"Amazing album, I can't stop listening to it!" -Andy Moor

METAVERSE - ALBUM
Metaverse is DJ Orkidea's second artist album. It features the classic dancefloor burners YearZero, Killa and Requiem, collaborations with trance heavyweights Solarstone, David West, Andy Moor and Lowland and a new 12 minute epic remix of Nightwish's Bye Bye Beautiful. Metaverse is Orkidea's definition of trance: hypnotic, driving, melodic and atmospheric. The album is out on the 5th of March 2008 - available in all good record stores around the world and digitally from iTunes and Beatport.com.

METAVERSE - TOUR
Metaverse continues the legacy of Taika and A Place Called Happiness tours. The tour is produced by the chilled-out guys at Misc. Management in co-operation with the most dedicated promoters around the country at some very fine venues. Metaverse is Orkidea's first live tour. He will be performing 12 laptop live sets featuring the best of his old productions, material from the new album and exclusive new remixes. Also involved are Finland's finest DJs who have been touring all over the country, producing and releasing underground music and promoting their own events for years - individuals who are simply living their passion for the music they love.

METAVERSE - YOU
This tour is still all about you. You, creating the atmosphere, filling the dancefloor, finding likeminded people and throwing your hands in the air when you feel like it. Share your Metaverse tour experience by uploading your photos to www.djorkidea.com, sending videos to our YouTube channel, checking Orkidea's blog and joining the community at www.irc.fi/djorkidea. Metaverse will also launch a voice blog on IRC-gallery sharing the tour atmosphere from foggy afterparties, backstages, tour vehicles and directly from the stage during the whole tour.

Metaverse is You - We are all Metaverse!
