DJ Soma outside the chillout tent during his Sunday morning set @ Konemetsä 2005
Electrorganic global grooves for dancing and pleasant listening
File Under: Ambient/Chillout/Dub/World/Electronica
In his sets tradional elements from different cultures are often fused with ultra-modern western beats and programming to create a delicious and adventurous mix that blends musical genres as well as geographical locations. All the music is selected with an ear on quality and mixed together to crete a poetic journey in the realm of music. His influences vary from his childhood exposure on classical music, jazz and progressive rock to his over 10 years enthusiasm on almost every kind of electronic music, from deep ambient soundscapes through downtempo, dub and broken beats to sophisticated club grooves and endorphine-evoking dancefloor pearls.
"Even electronic music's most-ardent fans understand that the ghost in the machine isn't conjured as a soulful or spiritual vibe. That comes by bringing in elements from more traditional styles." - Tad Hendrickson
"Transforming and mixing all these traditions is a way of preserving them, making them available to young listeners, and those in distant lands. Traditions are very important. If not, then all we have is just modern, modern, modern, modern. That's fine. We have to live with it, but there should be a time to say, 'This is where we come from. This is something that has been existing for thousands of years.'" - adapted from the interview of DJ Cheb I Sabbah about his new album La Kahena

Kommentteja miksauksesta
Hyvältä kuulostaa, sopii hyvin sunnuntai-aamupäivän soundtrackiksi
Hyvä setti, näitä monenmaalaisia hyviä biisejä on vaikea metsästää. Äänenlaatukin oli poikkeuksellisen hyvä, eikä virheitä ollut mukana.
Aivan vitun hyvä miksaus! En nyt jaksa sen kummemmin analysoida tätä, mutta toimii kyllä just nyt ihan kympillä, aloitin kuuntelemaan äsken toista kertaa...Loistava tunnelma ja aivan mielettömiä biisejä....10/10

Kommentteja Sound Smoothie - miksauksesta:
"Tää oli kyllä ehdottomasti yks laadukkaimpia, harkituimpia ja tyylikkäimpiä miksauksia joita olen kuunnellut. Siis aivan mieletön! Hienoa leijuntaa, kauniita äänimaisemia ja timantinkovia biisejä. Ja millä tavalla blendattu!... Vakuuttavaa jälkeä"
"Tämä oli kyllä tosi miellyttävää kuultavaa! Kauniisti vaihteleva tunnelmallinen kokonaisuus, joka meni tarinan lailla eteenpäin. Hieno sekoitus"
"Oih, kyllähän soljuu pehmeän virkeänä tämäkin yövuoro ohitse ilman että tarvitsee kamppailla UniMattia vastaan. Hymy on herkässä ja fiilis kohdillaan, on nimittäin todella mukavaa tunnelmointia - melkein kun aurinko lämmittäisi!"
"Ehdotonta laatua. Loistavaa! Piti ensimmäisen kuuntelukerran jälkeen siirtyä luureihin, että saa kaikki mehut irti. Tykkäsin kovasti. Kiitoksia tarjoamastanne nautinnosta"
"HUH.. ja NAM.. loistomatskua!!!"
Suurkiitos kaikille palautetta antaneille!
Uusi miksaus Multi-Cultured nyt ladattavissa. Pääpaino tällä kertaa eksoottisella laululla ja soitolla kiehtovassa elektronisessa ääniympäristössä.

Tulin juuri takaisin Etelä-Venäjältä Mustanmeren tuulten ihanasta hyväilystä. Hyvä reissu, vaikka festarit lopuksi lässähtivät kasaan kuin psykedeelinen pannukakku. Venäläiset tytöt olivat kauniita ja luonnollisia, erittäin naisellisia ja eivät turhaan arastelleet alastomuutensa kanssa. Ruoka oli kauheaa ja puhdasta vettä ei aina ollut saatavilla, mutta kaikin puolin rutkasti plussan puolelle reissu meni. Matkat kestivät maateitse (bussi/juna) 2-3 päivää puoleen ja toiseen, mutta toisaalta taas maksoivat jotain muutaman kymmentä euroa.
Jees... nyt energiat tulevaan Koneisto-festariin. Mun ambient-settini on chillin puolella perjantaiyönä 00:00-03:30... Tervetuloa lumoutumaan!
:confused:
Biisilista Koneisto-settiini Turbiinisalissa Pe 23:55-03:40 ... Todella paljon soitin uutta tuoretta ambientia, mutta myös joitain kiistattomia klassikkoja (kuten Pete Namlookin ja Mixmaster Morrisin "Dreamfish: Fishology). Useisiin biiseihin on liitetty etnoelementtejä - laulua ja soittoa - jotka toimivat niissä loistavasti. Biisien järjestystä en aivan tarkaan muista mutta suurin piirtein näin:

Olipa tosi huippua soittaa kerrankin hyvin äänieristetyssä paikassa jossa kunnon äänentoisto niin että muhkeat pitkät basslinet todellakin tuntuvat kehossa ja hierovat mukavasti sisäelimiä myöten ja vahvistavat luita... Ei tuollaisen setin jälkeen voinut olla kuin todella terve ja hehkuva olo :)
:D

7.4. S.U.N. Flower @ Kaivohuone
Virallinen tiedotekin nyt valmiina :D
DJ Soma, one of the most controversial chillout djs in Finnish Underground Trance Scene is coming back to please the audience big time. Just a few months ago things started to become too much for him and he had to take a break from playing in the parties. This hard decision proved to be the right one, and after a short recovery period he's ready to send some spirits soaring again. With a new clear vision and an unforeseen strenght, he promises to deliver exciting, soothing and challenging set with the cream of visionary, conscious, spacey and dubby chillout, ambient, middle- and downtempo tunes. So whenever during the night you need to give your body a little rest and slow your system down (if only to rush it up again with fresh energy later!), drink some glasses of pure water and head your way to the S.U.N. Flower Chill Area, a true comfort zone for the people who love to party hard!
Tähän voisi lisätä että DJ Soma chillaa huolella ja jaksaa sitten bilettää kaikkensa kun on aika sille! :laugh:
