5 downloadable freebies + Mixcloud opening

Ah, the sweet smell of FREE music. Now that's something we can all bond upon. Anyways, don't want to get into talking about what freely downloadable music does to listening experience or the value of music.

Here are my five picks from the vast internets. They are all 320 kbps or over, so you can blast them in your gigs (if you're a dj). Wouldn't play anything less, I get really annoyed if I hear distortion on files played. And yeah, they all went to distribution because their authors wanted.

Wizardz - Boogie Slyde (BlackLodge Synth Refix)
Nice and funky 80's jam with dope rhythms and bass. Lovingly refixed by BlackLodge who you should follow on Soundcloud for more goodness. BPM: 115.

Rodion + GoldenBug: Washing Machine (Bottin's Spin Cycle Edit)
Our favorite Venice dj is back with a rolling edit. I didn't like this at first, but then I got into the LOOP and DISCOvered it. Would guess this works well on a dance floor. Also BPM: 115

Maxwell - Bad Habits (Dave Nada Club mix)
This one's an older one. I guess bmore sounds are a bit year 2009, but this one still retains it's coolness. It's basically a slow jam, really stylistically spiced up for the dance floor. BPM: 128.

Shine 2009 - New Rules (Remix)
Not shamed to admit that I think Shine 2009 are the best new band around. They released this new remix a while back, it takes the sun-and-wind-like original to more danceable tempo and feel. BPM: 119.

Tahiti 80 - Darlin' (John Talabot's Oscuro Baile Remix)
John Talabot is one hell of a promising dj/producer from Barcelona. I really dig his way of doing these heavy, rhythmic songs that really aren't that fast. Check this interview with him for more insights. I have no idea about the original, but this remix is a winner. BPM: 114.

And yeah, in other news: I've put all the interviews I did with my Diskonservatorio show in Mixcloud. I also uploaded my old solo mix there since Soundcloud ran out of time.

Cheers,
- Peffis

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?

Set of news

Let's break it down.

The Diskonservatorio radio show - twice a month show about local deejays for local deejays - aired it's last episode last week. I honestly don't know yet if I'll continue it or not. I've been getting a good feedback all along, so it's not really about the motivation.

What it IS about is stemming from a personal matter: I'm leaving my hometown for three months this Thursday. I got an internship at a great place doing the stuff I've been studying so I'll be pretty busy and stressed with making the most of this situation. I don't know what'll happen after that - I hope the get some grand idea of what I'll do as a REAL JOB - but it means I'll be less active with the DWTF blog stuff  and dj'ing in Turku. I'll do some weekend gigs, but probably not weekdays. After the internship I'll take a deep look at my life and see what I really wanna do - and what I have time and energy for.

Our gig list will be updated at our Facebook page, so you can always check it from there. At the time we have two gigs incoming, the first one being a guest dj slot with dj gentlemen Sheikki Sheikki and other local dj's. The second one is Ripatti's solo gig at a literary happening.

Since I'm off the air for at least three months and busy with actual work, I wanted to share some new music with you before I leave for Tampere. So, Spotify playlist got half of the songs replaced with new ones. I'll also try and make a new mix for everyone to enjoy this week or the next one. And I'll try to get Ripatti to contribute to the playlist or to this blog while I'm away.

Here's a real manly anthem to celebrate the start of a busy working autumn (and my b-day BTW):

Tracklist for the last Diskonservatorio show

At least for the moment. I'm moving to Tampere for three months so I won't be around to do my radio show. I'll be here weekends for gigs though, so Disko WTF will keep on keeping on as strong as usual.

Here's the emotionally filled tracklist for the last show:

Jampacked

Sorry for the slow week or two. Too much to do, too little time or energy... And football on the telly every day. (Here's a definite football song, as gay as it comes)

The good news is that we're doing our best to bring some very highly appreciated dj's to do a gig at Turku, so we're not lazying our asses off. It's a lot of effort but hopefully we can make them happen. So cross your fingers.

Tonight (Thursday 17th) you can get catch a lot of our selections by checking my Diskonservatorio radio show from 20 to 22 at local Zoom radio and later from 22 to late night at the cozy Bar Kuka. That makes at least 5 hours of specially picked music from us to you.

Here's a recent Top 5 new discoveries from me:


James Chance And The Contortions - Incorrigible (Liv Spencer And Dj Spun Remix)
Kenny Loggins - This is it (Mad Mats rework)
LCD Soundsystem - Home
Mim Suleiman - Nyuli
Chris Isaak - Mr Chicago did a bad bad dub

I'll probably play out a lot of easy going summery disco with AOR vibes tonight. Not so much house or leftfield disco, I think I'll save those for dance floors.

And by the way, my friend surprised me with a great live mix. You can listen to Dj Ki Ki's "Feel what you want" here. They have a new Gborhood project up, go and have a look.

All the best for y'all.

Disco powerplay

I've been playing two, three times a day since I was introduced by it by DJ Magnus44 of Aboogie club. I had him on my radio show and this was one of the records he brought with him. It's Inner Life, and boogie disco at it's finest.



Getting to know these types of songs is just one of good reasons to have a radio show, I guess.
