LOVE feat. PAUL OAKENFOLD - The Official Hard Candy After-Party 6.8.2009 @ Helsinki
Hälp, luulen että mun leuka meni sijoiltaan :[ No, liput varattu, leukaa täytyy oikoa tuonnempana.
[size=13][color=red]Love Story 2. The Artist[/color][/size]
It's hard to say who is my favorite DJ of all time, but PAUL OAKENFOLD has
been the most pioneering and hard working DJ to me. His credits as a
producer, remixer and DJ are second to none but even more valuable is
his work in establishing the DJ as "an artist". Remixing U2's 'Even Better
Than The Real Thing', which ended up doing better in the charts than the
original, scoring music for the Swordfish movie, producing the Happy
Mondays' #1 album etc... It's everyday business today but it wasn't when
Oakenfold started in the 80s.
I first read about him from magazines like Mixmag and The Face during the
pre-internet time of the early 90s when we had to search UK magazines for
info about the music scene abroad. Many of his own productions and his
Perfecto label's releases are cornerstones in the history of progressive
house and trance. BT's 'Flaming June', Man With No Name's 'Teleport'
or Grace's 'Not Over Yet' are timeless pieces of music that many of
us truly love. His residency at Cream was inspirational in the way
that he developed his own sound and shaped songs into classics of that time.
I have very personal memories related with him - like waking up after my
18th birthday (painted red with lipstick by my friends!) in early 1995 and
hearing for the first time his legendary Dragonfly mix CD 'Voyage Into
Trance' and instantly loving the fresh and emerging Goa trance sound.
Or listening countless times to his Cream Live 2 CD while working in
the old school alternative clothing shop Dekadenz in the hot summer of
1996. Or my friend coming to Royl Cotton Club (where we were organizing
Unity in 1999) with a live MiniDisc recording from Creamfields festival where
Oakenfold opened his set with 'Unity' while the crowd was madly
chanting "Oakey... Oakey..." on top of the intro.
The most beloved memory must be the only time when I've met him.
It was July 1999 in Ibiza where he had a residency at Pacha. I had just
finished a remix of Jan Johnston's 'Flesh' for Perfecto so his manager
asked me to visit the DJ booth. Hanging around there were Renaissance
owners Geoff and Joanna, DJ Tiesto, Hooj Choons label owner Red Jerry,
Pacha resident DJ Pippi and Oakenfold while BT was playing live. It was
all very casual but I was totally frozen by the amount of legendariness
in the booth! All of a sudden Oakenfold grabbed me to get some drinks
in the bar where I could barely say "Vodka Red Bull would be nice".
I remember him as a down-to-earth, no ego, no attitude person, who
wanted to encourage new artists.
Oakenfold hasn't been in the European spotlight recently as he has been
living in States for most of this decade. Alongside scoring movies, having
the biggest DJ residency in the US and remixing Elvis and Justin
Timberlake he's been on a mission to "break electronic music in
the US". Even if it sounds like a rather massive task, with his track
record of getting things done I believe he is playing important part in that.
And the story is definitely Not Over Yet.

Have a look at the Music Television TV Advertisement for LOVE.
Joo, ei tullut sitten yhtään mieleen lippuaostetaessa tarkistaa että onko hesassa yhtään järkevän hintaista hotellihuonetta tarjolla. No, EI OLE! Joten jos joku haluaa tarjota yöpymispaikkaa niin ihan vapaasti voi tarjota. Heh heh.
[color=red]Love Story 3. The Artwork[/color]
I have been lucky to work with some extremely talented, stubborn, forward thinking and artistic illustrators and graphic designers in the last 10 years of our agencys history.
Opening an attachment on an email from Ville Savimaa, has surprised me and put a smile on my face many times. Although he has never been into the so called scene I have been into my whole adult life, his perception of my world seems very clear. How can he possibly understand the whole history of a venue, brand, DJ or record label by hearing my short instructions and weirded out explanations and come up with something that has so much more then I even thought about? I think it is because he is smart, gentle and holds an open mind and heart
Ville is easily one of my favorite illustrators in Finland. Not only because of his beautiful art, but because interacting with him is inspiring. Ville has, and still could work for Helsinkis top advertising agencies, but prefers to take the little work that comes across him and focus on things he enjoys doing. Hed rather be eating noodles for the whole month and continue to draw out his emotions, than to design another newspaper add for some a product he would never even think of using
Thats what I call uncompromising passion for your work and what Ville would probably call the only way he can live.
I dont really think I have learned much about the graphical design methods or technological possibilities out there, but each time I learn more about myself and receive a better understanding of the different types of people that fill our world. I can hardly wait for the next opportunity to be inspired by the amazing people that fill our city with beauty.

Tosiaan. :) En olekaan käynyt bileissä sitten huhtikuun, joten tämä voisikin olla hyvä tilaisuus vähän tuulettaa itseään ja ajatuksiaan.
Mielenkiintoista kuulla, mitä Oakie soittaa ylihuomenna. Onko muuten soittoaikatauluista tietoa?
Ei malttaisi millään odottaa torstaihin... Varmasti hyvät bailut tulossa. Paul ei varmaankaan jätä ketään kylmäksi. Itse aijon ainakin fiilistellä ja tanssia kropan kipeeksi :)
Bileissä tavataan:D

[size=13][color=red]Love Story 1. The Event[/color][/size]
Some say that first love is the strongest. And it really did feel like it on our opening night with Pete Tong. 1300 people came together and created a vibe that will stay with us forever. The red dance-floor resembled a beating heart, that pumped life for a beautiful summer Sunday.
The second LOVE will be held on an historic night in Helsinki. On the 6th of August, 90 000 people will see the iconic Madonna performing in Finland, for the first time ever. The whole country will be listening, watching and stepping into the groove of the Queen of pop.
Warming up the crowd at the concert is another legend, Paul Oakenfold. After being voted the worlds best DJ twice, holding residencies in some of Europe's biggest clubs and headlining festivals, Paul headed to Hollywood in 2001. In 8 years he has worked on major soundtrack projects, production work for the worlds biggest artists and the best club residency in America.
With the full support of Madonna's label 'Warner Music' and her tour organizer 'Live Nation', the people of LOVE are ecstatic of being apart of such an historical day. Mr Oakenfold will be headlining the party, supported by the legends of Finnish electronica. This will be the last LOVE event of 2009 and a classic closing to an amazing Summer.
LOVE. Brings us all together.
