Getting ready for next year

Here's what's gonna happen in the coming year: 



Yup, we're gonna do some changes around here. Our normal club night will go on as usual and deliver disco goodness at Dynamo. We are probably bringing some dope guests for this season, if we can get their schedules to fit. This blog might go from being written in English to Finnish, and we both should be contributing more to this. My radio show - Diskonservatorio - might just go back to radio waves if I can get a good platform for it. Spotify-lists and mixes will definitely go on, since people really dig them and they really are a good way of spreading around our knowhow and favorites. Our Facebook group page will probably change to Fan page, so we can update it more easily.

Musicwise we are are broadening our spectra even more.

There's a few other aces up our sleeves, but you'll just have to sit tight and wait for the news. We haven't sorted them all out yet.

But what we definitely want to do more is get connected with you and get some feedback. So, what would you like us to have more or do differently next season?

The music is the message

It's always good to start a blog post about communication between a dj and audience with a referential post title only a handful will get.

I wonder this a lot: what do people get out of these songs I post here and what do they get when we play our records in a club? I mean, we really are playing some disco and house records that used to have really big significance back then for the dancers who were seeking to dance/jack away their worries and find some kind of safe haven in the socially mixed dancefloor. People tend to say disco/house records aren't saying anything, but they're taking them out of their context. On the dancefloor they meant a lot, a possibility to enjoy freely your body outside the restraints of oppressive and depressive world.

I'm by no means saying I would personally totally get what the songs we pump are seriously_really_about. And of course the times have changed, too. Still, quite an interesting question. Here's Greg Wilson telling about the old times.



These must be some of the themes the late night radio djs are also wondering. "Is there anybody listening? Are they getting something out of this music?"
