Japan vol.1

Holllerr & Merry Christmas!

The Christmas in Japan isn't like in Finland + I guess we have to postpone celebrating christmas since girls want to take part to dance classes. Sad!

First week of japan has been pretty busy.
I was out about 6/7 days. Alot of funkstyles as expected but I haven't seen bboying.

Too many pictures to add now while girls are eating basic japanese food: rice, tofu, udon & miso soup. I ate a Quarter Pounder Meal in McDonald's. Yesterday there was 3 block queue to get that meal. Japanese are crazy.


Next Pictures are from Guda Guda 2008 Finals, 2 vs 2 Allstyle freestyle battle:

Holland /Black Soil International Hip Hop Film Festival

SSup

Yesterday I was in Rotterdam, Holland with Taya. Black Soil showed our document 'Let it flow' on the festival and the black soil people also wanted couple of flow-mo members to come there.

The flight went fine but when we got to Holland, the driver forgot to pick us up and all the 3 contact phonenumbers were wrong in our papers. After 1,5hours waiting we finally got a phone call.

Anyway, beside that, hotel was fancy, called Westin, only sad thing was they not having free internet connection there. I think it is the thing which defines wether the hotel has 4 or 5 stars. After 4 minute bath, we went to eat but before we got our food, the document started already. Happily we had seen it before. After document we had answered to few questions. fortunately that they had something to ask :)


the document screening:




Host & Producer Ballantyne, great guy:




cyphers, bgirls takin ova






This kid had great talent on power moves.. halos and headspins and mills etc!







Dj Cut Nice played funky jams









Pose with Aruna who was kinda organizing the event and other bgirls!













The AFTERPARTY then was reeally dope.




DJ spinna was playing there, he had Michael Jackson vs Prince -theme. DOPE.


Basicly the dancefloor was filled during the whole set! I got my poppin on! But like with most of the best parties, the camera was left to hotel room!


Spinna is one of my biggest inspirations while i was starting to DJ..
Spinna's 12" 'Rock' & 'Watch deez' was 1 of the 2 first hiphop vinyl I bought. Then the mixtape 'Hiphop independence day vol.1' was in a lot of listening back then.



I hanged quite a lot with Rabbain aka Ruby (Peace!)

Reportteri Olli presents Late Nite Chat -series with Taija. No, miten se reissu meni? (in finnish)




And after holland's own fast food and couple hours of sleep we left to airport..

Spinna and us



Yeah overall the 'trip was a short one / but a lot of fun'. Rhymin n s**t!

Thanks for everybody who we met, all the organizers and everybody who came to see the document! Stay in touch!

Poppin CD Comin out!

December is here so get your chocolate christmas calendars up on a wall! One of my favorite ones is Kinder's.

When the boat is on the ground, it's ok to snow!
Me with the first snow in Helsinki:





And the tram nr 9 that I roll with






December is pretty scary because I should have my thesis done, but gettin started is so hard!
Also it's very exciting because I will go to Osaka Japan almost for a month with a party of 6 girls (poppers lockers hiphop & house) :).

I've been working on Poppin project and there's going to be CD out for Japan's trip, next week already.

There's a cut from the CD on the up-left of this site, it's called "Pockets Fat". Take a listen. Let me know what you feel about it. The CD is comin out on 14th of December.


This saturday I'm going to Rotterdam, Holland with Taya. There's some Hiphop festival where the document 'Let it flow' of Flow-Mo's trip to Korea Sparkling R16 2007 is shown among other hiphop films. Then we are going to drop a little showcase tho Im not sure how it's going to be since I've got problems with my wrist and back.

If you are in Helsinki on saturday, go to Gloria for a Christmas Jam, organized by Dance.fi, it will be event and good way to celebrate the independece day of Finland!

Focus will go to England with A.T. to do some workshops, so if you are over there go and check them out. Focus has always dope stuff to show you.

Real HipHop

yo

Im happy that there's people like Primo and Masta Ace etc!! I mean I'm not hatin on ppl like Lil Wayne & T-pain. It's same like with Justin 5 years ago or with whoever, they got lots of good songs. I see lot of dissin everywhere and it's cool too. Real wouldn't be real without Keepin-it-realers.

Anyway i've been dwellin in lots of different genres lately and gettin back with primo stuff warms heart.



On producing side, there's too many cats trying to get their share of music biz so it's hard to success. Remember to be different AND / OR most importantly just do your thing! These things have said many times so aint nothing new but few lines won't hurt nobody.
