CRASH (Disko Tekno Kollektiv / Vaasa) & KENTH (Meltdown / Vaasa) Back-2-Back
CRASH: Having started playing records in 2002, Ville is an upcoming talent as a DJ in the finnish techno scene. However, it was years back, when he began to organize parties with friends and search for own style. Known for dark and techy sounds with a pinch of puristic flavour, expect him to burst the dancefloor into flames (not forgetting the black t-shirted headnodders).
KENTH: Growing up listening to late night radio programs and going to local raves and after-hours got him interested in electronic music. Started playing records and arranging parties around 1994-1995 and has been playing at various events in Vaasa ever since. He has also been arranging local drum & bass events since 1997 with a goal to keep the sound alive, for example the Funk Fusion club nights.
Has lately moved on to an electro/tech house sound but still gets inspired by different kinds of music. He likes to mix the old with the new rather than relying on just the newest or biggest tunes.
FIERCE (Full-On / Helsinki) & SIZZLER (Redemption / Vaasa) Back-2-Back
FIERCE: DJ Fierce is one of the pioneers of hard dance in Finland. He started dj:ing in the mid 90's after seeing djs like Elliot Ness playing. Inspired by that, he bought a pair of decks cause he wanted a piece of the action.
Fierce started out as a techno-dj, playing hard funky techno, but after a couple of years he changed his style to hard house which he is still playing. Inspired by the sounds of Ian M, Tony De Vit and clubs like the Trade, Fierce has always had a unique style, mixing funky hard house and nu-nrg. He's known for his technical abilities and attention to detail when mixing.
This man's superb skills on the decks have found him playing in club events such as Full On, House Nation, Club Nation, Säde, Labyrinth -98, Storm and Vertigo alongside foreign jocks like BK, Max the Alien Thing, KGB, Anne Savage, just to name a few.
