-- Bio --
Always having been deeply in love with all things of hard sounds, Meke has been widely known in Finland since he started djing year 2000 as one of these few DJs remaining faithful to the roots of rave music. Arguably the best old school rave DJ in the country, Meke always played a lot of true hardcore classics and early rave sound in his sets, giving people a lovely glimpse of the music which started it all. That does not mean though that Meke is just an old beard, stuck in the past. Constantly evolving along with dance music, this extremely talented DJ not only skillfully combines UK hardcore & freeform, Meke is also responsible for bringing makina to Finland, being only one spinner in the country playing this exciting combination of hard trance and happy hardcore. Not only the regular DJ, sometimes Meke likes to bring some new twist to his set, using the microphone as MC to make people go completely loco. So you can be sure, Meke will definitely not leave you unsatisfied!
Meke's passion for the music has seen him spinning as regular guest at such respected event as Madwave, holding long term residencies at Force and Battle Royale nights, being part of Dancewise roster. He also hosted monthly show at famous Digitally Imported radio (DI.fm) over 3 years. In 2008 he was chosen to be resident dj of Madwave events and also he did gain place from Finrg agency. During the years, Meke has been playing alongside such names as Proteus, Karim, Eryk Orpheus, Lee Haslam, Amber D, Phil Reynolds, Gareth Emery, Choose, Simon Eve, Garbo and Carbon Based to mention a few. So if you are up to hardcore vibes - Meke will deliver!

Horzi
Henri Rättäri's first gates in to the world of electronic music were commercial dance/trance acts such as Scooter and Darude. Inspired by them he decided to try to produce some own stuff on Dance E-jay and Fruityloops software’s. The obvious thing was that his first "compositions" really made no sense.
Henri's musical interests changed totally in the upper level comprehensive when he started to listen metal and punk rock and he bought guitar. At the same time he met friends who introduced the harder side of Finnish electronic music, FINRG, for him. The friends were Sami Heikkilä (Sam One) & Janne Tamminen (Substanced). Finnish freeform impressed him deeply and it raised the style and the tempo of his songs he produced in to the new level. Sound of FINRG-artists is still the most important influence in his production.
After long time of training and playing his tone-ear improved and quality of his songs started to get better and better. Melodies and melancholic atmoshphere became the key makers of Horzi's music. In the year 2008 Horzi made his first CD-release on Electronica Exposed's compilation CD Tome Of Salvation. The track Superior Pressure was a collab production with Substanced. Also his very first live gig was played with Substanced. Boys played a banging live set in Substanced's underground birthday party in February 2008.
Nowadays Horzi is artist under FINRG's sublabel Hybridize, which has compiled some Finnish rising freeform/hard trance-stars together.
