This vinyl rip is mono and overpeaking but since I have listened this rip about 7 years now it's good enough for me. You just go and buy the record for better listening experience!

I read a interview of Gasca at http://www.jazzreview.com/articledetails.cfm?ID=957 .

I pasted a part of it here:

In order for a musician to create his own musical identity Gasca believes he must always surround himself with musicians and he must open himself up to all forms of music, which involves the act of humbling oneself. Any good musician who is inventive and creative has to search persistently before coming to their own musical identity.

Gasca recalls the long and tedious process of studying and deciphering solos by listening to records. “If you wanted to study the trumpet you had to actually get the record and take out para-pa-para-pa-parararaleedeedeedata. You had a record that went round and round, and then you had to pick up the needle and find that place again. It’s not that you were gonna play that, it’s that you knew the way that this guy was gonna attack, execute and interpret a particular passage or note.”

Imagine practising the "para-pa-para-pa-parararaleedeedeedata" at 2:18 of the song. HAHA.

Now, if you must - you could relate what he said into dancing. That's why you should learn the foundations first before making a whole new style.

Jimmy McGriff - Pisces

2011-04-04T13:02:00.004+03:00

Found this song from the shelf without no covers. It's from a mass compilation so no matter anyways.

Actually when I think about it - I'm not too much into saving the record on it's mint shape. I rather like to see them wear out. Just like all the records that are bought used. Couple scratches on a record gives them charisma. On the otherhand that's a good reason why I'm definitely not a serious collector of expensive records.

This jazzy song is written by Jimmy Ponder. On the record the title is 'Pices', and I think it's from Jimmy McGriff's 'Stump Juice' album 1975. I fast googled and it says 'Pisces' on the album. So I guess the song has two names or it was a little typo monster visiting the record labels.

About artist's earnings from online sells

2010-04-15T14:30:00.005+03:00

If you are interested about how much an artist has to sell online to get a minimum wage, take a look:

Let's take Finland & Spotify , for example ;)

If everybody in Finland - thats 5 million people - would listen to one artist for one play during one month, the artist would get a "minimum wage" for that month. And what if you have 5 head band? :)

So.. it's like your parents propably told you. Get A JOB!!

Btw. You can now start listening to my two tracks in Spotify for 5 million times every month:

Apple Updates Macbook Pros

2010-04-13T18:02:00.006+03:00

I have been waiting for the Macbook Pro updates for ages and finally they arrived today, April 13th 2010.

You can check them here:

http://store.apple.com/fi/browse/home/shop_mac/family/macbook_pro?mco=MTAyNTQzMzk

I looked forward for the intel i5 / i7 processors, which come along with 15" & 17" MBP's.
Sadly they didn't come with 13" tho.

Now, since 15" price bumped pretty high (starting now from 1799 €), I decided not to go with the laptop models, even tho it's necessary for a DJ nowadays. I hope my old macbook will be able to continue it's journey for some months to come.

When it comes to making music:
Even tho I love Pro Tools Software from digidesign (AVID), I can't really recommend it if you don't have a banging system to run it with. Especially, if you are planning to use some software synths or heavy plug-ins, you can forget about using it with 3 year old macbook. That's why I had to get a new computer.

I ordered iMac 27" i7 with 8 GB RAM.

Goodbye CPU BUFFER SIZE!!!!! Welcome Expressing Yourself.

Nothing beats the Finnish summer late night & the early morning. That's for me of course - the nature is always connected to your memories. It's Breezy, Bright and the Sun is almost there.

It don't matter where you are tho. At southern area it's the same. Even if it's Warm, Dark & no Sun like at Switzerland's mountains, it is a pretty fine example of that.

Both of the these places are my memories anyway from the teenage years. Why there are drinks involved?

Battle For The Middle Earth - Bboy Jam in Jyväskylä 27th March 2010

2010-03-23T08:05:00.006+02:00

Yeah It's Been quiet here, which I'm not even sorry about because we have been in PANAMA for last couple weeks with Hats .. living that good life.

Next weekend we'll be back tho! There will be a jam called 'Battle For The Middle Earth' in Jyväskylä 27th March 2010. Busdrive there leaves from Helsinki on Saturday morning. But few travellers are still missed (It's in Finnish only):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMkVLsF_YHo

So better sign up for the cheap roundtrip bus Helsinki-Jyväskylä-Helsinki! You should do it already on 24th of March.

Here's the Flyer:

How about living your life?

2010-03-05T13:26:00.009+02:00

The sunshine.

In the northern areas - like here in Finland, you are in a dark a lot. So when you finally have a bright day like today, you start thinking about happy things for a while.

I graduated from business economics school to be an entrepreneur! And I did. But still, at the times, it feels that I've been sitting countless hours doing nothing that matters. I've done Music & Dance for last several years but without bigger benefit so far. Still I can do whatever I want - I'm not responsible for anyone.

It sounds like a dream. For me, it's a dream indeed but there are unfilled space to make it right. Also doing "nothing" is frustrating when you do it a lot - In the dark, In the Cold. So my dream is to do the same things but in a different environment - travelling like this for a while =) :

Do probly this every once in a while.

Somebody might know that I like sailing. But with sailing you got couple problems.

In Finland you got average 3 months of sailing time and then the seas freeze again. Doesn't sound too tempting to use large amount of money for a boat, does it?
When you are sailing, it's pretty much all the work you can do! So how you live?
Sailing boats are expensive.

So answer to the first and perhaps the third question are that if you want to sail a lot, you have to go to warmer environment to do it around the year. I mean if you buy a boat which costs, lets say 150 000 euro, you don't buy it for using it randomly 5 weekends in the summer and then lift it up on the ground for 9 months. At least if you don't have extra pocket money like that.

So why not to buy a boat in meaning as house? You could live there.

Can you afford to buy a boat, take a 150 000 euro loan, travel around a year and not to work for paying the money back?

Maybe there is answer in the world wide web. World has changed in past 20 years alot. Maybe I can afford the trip just blogging? Maybe it's possible to get sponsors to cover the expenses? Maybe answer is to start organizing tourism trips in asia or caribbean? How about making internet solutions that make some money?

Whatever your goal is, there's tools if you accept the challenge.

My roommate just sent me a SMS from Sri Lanka. He said he's still in one piece (there's still some ”terrorist attacks”) and that the waves are unbelievable in front of his crib. I was pretty close to travel there too with him but I just didn't buy the tickets. Now I'm in still in Finland. Doing the same old..!!

So If you are ready to explore the world and do what you want, just go ahead. There's not too much to lose, your fam is still there. Are you studying hard to graduate and get job to secure your future? Secure it later! Not ready to accept the fact that you might die? At least you die doing something that you wanted. You want to develope your skills in dance?

To be honest: f*** the 'skills'!! it's not about this or that move or this or that technic that you still have not mastered. THINK ABOUT THE CHARISMA AND EXPERIENCE WHAT YOU GET OF DOING WHAT YOU WANT. You win 100x more battles with that, by learning from yourself and by not giving a shit of what he and she told you is the right way to do. OK, you might counter some challenges winning the biggest stage competitions, but who cares about winning BOTY anyway? (And with those cash prizes there's for dancers the effort are VAIN!)

So yesterday I put our sailing boat 'Compis 28' for sale to get a big ass boat to fulfil my dreams for next couple of years.

Pioneer Award to Taukojalka.com

2010-02-09T14:42:00.004+02:00

This is already lil bit 'old' news but our website (this blog is also under it) http://www.taukojalka.com got 'Pioneer Award' at 'Nordic Moves' event on January 24th 2010. Nordic Moves was an event that brought electric boogaloos, gogo brothers, juste debout finland etc in Finland at the same time.

Does it mean then that also my dull stories are taking this culture forward? haha. The Biggest credit of the award goes to my friend Jesse Bäck fo sho (Webdesigner aka Jesse Levy) who I have known since 10 years old. When we first met, we were getting down with some bboy shit doing swipes & helicopters at my friend's houseparty on 4th grade to Spice Girls. Shit was ill. I instantly knew Jesse had the Pioneer Award Mastermind Spirit.

Hip Op Session France 2010

2010-02-08T22:32:00.003+02:00

This year we are invited to Hip Op Session to a beautiful town Nantes. The event is next weekend. Every year it's off the hook.. especially when it comes to afterparty. Hatsolo told me that one time there was Gemini locking in the cypher and I went after him.. If anybody have ever seen me locking, you will just shake your head and wish you didn't see it. I think this was something about 5.30 AM & some bottles rum behind. Well, I guess gemini won't mind. We all love the dance right, Right?? :)
Hah speaking of rum.. I'm looking forward to see RumJad, the host from 7dollaz crew, in the action =)

Sony Ericsson Bboy Championships Player

2009-10-26T15:31:00.005+02:00

I got contacted about this Sony Ericsson Bboy Championships player so here it is. There's a lot of professionally made footage coming every week (Regards to the editors & shooters, good time in UK :) ). If you wanna browse check the stuff in Hooch diaries. There's also couple clips from Finland's championships & flow-mo.. check them out!

Budget Wide-Angle Lens For Canon HF200

2009-10-26T10:52:00.008+02:00

I bought a lens from ebay for my Canon HF200 camera. The cost was 12,5$ + shipping, which was about 6$ from HONG KONG. It arrived 2 weeks ago to my post office but i didn't get the notification but the shipping itself was average fast. So altogether the lens cost about 14 euros - the price & quality is pretty decent compared to 200 euro canon's lens. This lens is .45x and canon is .70x.

I can't complain for the design and fitting of the combo either:

Test photos:
Without the lens

With the lens

Of course the quality for the lens is not the most pro but "if you don't got job" (like katt williams says) and you want to record in cypher.. then any additional centimeter counts!!

If you are interested here's the direct link for the lens (it says it also fits JVC, SONY):

PS3 Exclusive

2009-10-20T12:50:00.008+03:00

Hello, it's PS3 time :)

I just got through the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on PS3 .. I played the previous Ninja Gaiden on xbox years ago, which was one of the dopest games I played on xbox. Sigma 2 was alright on action side, The "story" sucked just like you can expect, but taking enemies out is always fun.. until you get bored.

I still got flu since UK Champs so I have to continue the gaming marathon. Pasi from old Midpoint Rockers / Flow-Mo suggested I should buy Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. I played its Multiplayer Beta online before the game was released and it was ok so I went to store and bought it, why not while waiting for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to come out on 11th of November. I Pre-ordered that from CDWOW.com tho I had no experiences about the site but let's see how they manage.

If there's more of those Playstation 3 owners out there, please add me to your friends, attach some kind of message along, the username is OMGFLOW.

One thing I learned today is to get rid of your games before they go platinum edition. After that they have no value anymore!!

BBoy Laos in interview

2009-10-07T22:04:00.004+03:00

I was looking my footage from IBE 09 and I found an interview with Laos. It was recorded after afterparty so maybe that's the reason it was forgotten there. Respect to Laos, the OG. He was ripping the same cyphers with us.

Anyway, here it is:

IBE 09 -> Funktastic, Circle Prinz Scandinavia

2009-09-18T17:07:00.002+03:00

Last weeked in IBE was great. So much happening in one weekend that it's impossible to check even a fifth of what's happening. I judged the octagon battle with hatsolo & Poe-1, but it was funny since I didnt have to point winner a single time, since everybody crashed :)

Winner was Basil

I peeped at Kite's workshop for a minute.. here's a lil clip from there:

I recorded the whole Popping showcase battle, which was very nice.. Kite's second run was crazy. I liked slim boogie alot too. I only name them now since everybody in the battle are legendary and dope anyway. Maybe i upload it later, tho you can find it from youtube already.

We arrived sweden today.... by boat.. so i'm not feeling too well right now as you can imagine. Today there's workshops from Gucchon & Focus. Tomorrow Circle Prinz Scandinavia and on sunday there's bboy crew battles and locking & popping 1 on 1. Check it ooooooudi.

Flow-Mo 'Response' theatre piece

2009-07-30T14:24:00.005+03:00

Flow-Mo has come out with new theatre piece called Response.

Premier is tonight in URB-Festival. Check it if you have a chance!
Recognize Crew from Serbia will be doing a piece too at the same night. It's always nice to hang with them guys (they smuggle RAKIA booze over the borders :D).

Response

RESPONSE looks at the possibilities of combining the movement of dance with moving image. The work's final form is achieved as the result of an open process where each member of the artist group has an equal chance of affecting the end product.

Growing side by side with URB, Flow-Mo approaches breakdance from a new perspective. The interplay between dancers in terms of improvisation, the mood of a certain moment, and the reactions of the audience are explored. Equilibrium between peace and chaos, between the purity and impurity of movement is something the dance considers.

Video designer Petri Ruikka approaches breakdance through moving image. He explores the real-time merging of image with movement, and the whole that this creates. At what point are dialogue and a common space between the two created? Contributing to creating this space are light designer Jani-Matti Salo and sound designer Taneli Bruun.

Dance: Flow-Mo
Light design: Jani-Matti Salo
Video design: Petri Ruikka
Sound design: Taneli Bruun
Duration: 30 min

boat trips + shows + summer jams = random stuff

2009-06-12T10:51:00.011+03:00

This is how to put boat back in to water for summer...

Getting to a new dock..

Chillinn, in Helsinki centrum with topi & markku.

Yesterday I was on the sea with my girlfriend... engine crashed, so we had to try to dock with natural forces only wind with us! We almost made it back before we got stuck to the seafloor haha. With no engines and nothing it was impossible to get the boat move again. Until I saw some waves coming so as a wise & very experienced captain I lifted up the sails and when the waves hit the boat, we got moving after couple of touchdowns. When we got away from there the docking was surprisingly even easier than with motor.. luck? who knows.

Flow-Mo was having a show at Mbar, it was Funky Elephant festival's opening. Our show was craazy to be honest.

Check some pics.. that's me:

summer thoughts in stockholm

2009-05-25T20:34:00.006+03:00

Today I came to Stockholm to see my girlfriend and chill. I was going to holla Damon Frost but I felt too cheapass to use my money on transportations, so i tried to walk to centrum - got tired, bought beer and sit down and watch the sunset beside the sea.

I didn't think about it before but now i know that next summer i'll be wasted. Shout outs to my homies...

We are in Savonlinna having couple workshops and a show... The area is a must-to-visit for nature lovers.. the Finland's biggest lake Saimaa and boats made me look forward for summer and sailing. Kalsse and Dabo had points !!

Thesis is done so it's time to get busy.

For the poppers, I can promise a new CD coming in couple months.

Last weekend we had Mr.Wiggles giving workshops here in Helsinki, thanks to Jenny's & Jeniwai's DOUBLE J. I've heard rumors that SADE -festival that's coming in autumn will be crazy.

Summer is coming too, so the jams to watch out in summer will be Oulun Katutanssit 3-4.7. where I will also play at. Remember to check Payback jam as well in Jyväskylä 12.7.

My sailing boat is getting pimped for the summer. Let's just hope for a warm and sunny summer.

Adidas 60 years anniversary

Flow-Mo had a show there among other shows like Kemmuru, Loost Koos, Rudy Rok, Martti Kuoppa, Super Janne, Dj Anonymous, Dj didier, J-laini, DJPP etc. It was pretty cool event. At least for me.. it went on till 9 AM with sauna afterpartys.

KPO Breaks 10 pics

2009-04-21T01:15:00.011+03:00

KPO Breaks 10 was dopeness. It was nice to see all the friends and party. I feel sad that Kimmo & Jussi will not organize it anymore. Let's organize KPO breaks afterparty next year at least :)

Best things:

1. Premiere of Kpo Breaks DVD 2000-2008

If you have chance, go and buy one. Alot of Finnish bboy history there. I remember how it was when the movie was starting. Atmosphere was exciting!

2. Oldies Battle

Final was between Jesse 13 & Antopio.. It was real close and Jesse13 has some mad serious skills yo I gotta say. Our fellow jury gave it to Antopio anyway who did good as always! Props for both!

Latest 4 KPO Breaks shirts:

Food & FDO Competitions

2009-04-15T00:41:00.014+03:00

I was in market and I wanted to make some freestyle cooking again, so this is what I came up with: Mercy's Meat & Vegetables pt.1.

1 big eggplant
1 big zucchini
4 carrots
4 fresh champignons
1 big yellow paprica
2 red onions
1 really big sweet potato
1,5 dl cream
400grams minced meat
Milk
black pepper, paprika, chili, salt etc.

For Drink:
Dumisani Pinotage-Shiraz 2008 South Africa Red Wine

I recommend wine with very strong taste, since the food is very finnish type of flavor afterall. (typical Finnish food = not very spicy)

1. Cube all the vegetables
2. Boil sweet potato and half of the carrots in salted water
3. Cook / Brown the meat in frying pan
4. Soften the rest of the vegetables in another Pan (start softening the vegetables from the hardest ones)
5. Mix meat and vegetables from the pan
6. Add cream and spices of your taste
7. Make smashed potatoes from sweet potato and carrots, add cream / milk

Remember to enjoy cooking, freestyle and forget the recipes!

Try it And Fall in love!

After eating, working is much more easier..

Never trust videogames..

Anyway, Im back on the grind. New beats and moves coming all the way. Tonight I chose the traditional way of spending my evening: Making beats, eating chips and drinking beer & wine.
Some of you might not believe my, but in finland some of the snow is already gone!!

Guess who is going soon to fix sailing boat for the summer..

Some goodtimes from last summer:

Bboy Steps with some quality RUSKY STANDARD

Lot's of shows and the most important one is of course the one that reps adidas the most: Flow-Mo Crew.

that's that...

DIY : Projecting screen

2009-03-15T17:43:00.001+02:00

Do it yourself: 97,5" Projector Screen for bboy & poppin videos + redtube etc :).

This project took couple weeks of my time so been busy...

I wanted to get a screen for my video projector (Sanyo PLV-z700). Buying one as new is eeexpensive.. so I saw people at http://www.dvdplaza.fi/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=97 making their owns so I decided give it a try aswell. I thought I could build it with around 130 euros but it went about double. Also, building this shit wasn't as easy as it shows here. I had to visit supply store about 6 times, messed my head, ruined my practices etc, but afterall, I'm still happy I did it.

Couple hints for avoiding the mistakes that I made :

1. DON'T Ask help from the constructing engineers or supply store workers. They don't know about your project any more than you do.
2. Plan it well, as long as you can. I tried to plan everything right, but still I messed my calculations, and the frames became 10cm wide-wise shorter than I wanted.
3. Use as slim MDF-board as you can get (I would consider 'kapa'-board). Constructing experts from Finnish store 'Starkki' adviced me to use 19mm thick board. It weights about 40kg!!!! + the Frames, so its about 60kgs together. Then try to hang it on the wall.
4. Better have a friend around all the time. While you try to flip 60kg 2m+ thing alone, you realise it just don't happen.

Something that I needed to get started:

216cm x 121,5cm MDF-board (19mm thick)(screen) 40e Starkki
2 pieces of 35cm x 61,5cm MDF-board (10mm) 10e Starkki
2 pieces of 35cm x 176cm MDF-board (10mm)(but make them be 186cm to success :D ) 10e Starkki
4 Pieces of 3,5cm high MDF-Board as a lifter pieces (between screen and frames) FREE Starkki
1 litre of Tikkurila F499 Paint for screen 28e Starkki
2 x 0,25 litre of Tikkurila's black Joker paint 16e Starkki
1m Aluminium pipe (cut in 12 x 3,5cm pieces) 5e Starkki
metallic saw 1 e Anttila
drilling machine (borrowed) 0e
foam or mohair roller for painting 10e Starkki (try some painting store to get it cheaper)
paintbrushes 2,5e
screws, screws, screws + + + 25e
wood glue 6e
12 x metallic plates with holes 12e
3m x 1,5 m black velour fabric 25e
rivet machine + rivets 10e
TAXI to Deliver the supplies, 21e

+ other stuff...

1. First I made the Frames and connected them with these (I first put 8 but then I went and bought 4 more to make sure it holds):

My man Antti from Deep Forest Dealers crew helping!

2. I painted the sides and the back of the screen board and the other mdf pieces which are going to lift the screen from the frames.

3. I riveted the fabric and screwed the lifter MDF pieces to the frames. First I wasn't going to use those pieces at all (I didn't even have them at first). I planned to use only the aluminium pipes with screws to hold it together. That way you could see thru when you watch the screen from the side. When I actually tried to do it, I realised it was easier planned than done. I'd have had to drill from behind the frames into the screen and that way it would be impossible to get the screen and the frames in exactly right spot. And while riveting, use about 4mm rivets, 14mm that I bought first was just too large: 1st - they will not go into board, 2nd - Even If they did, it would come thru the 10mm thick mdf.

4. I glued the screen to the lifter MDF pieces and put them under weights (For TV license inspectors, it seems like neighbour's TV was carried here for a weight)

5. When the glue had dried, I decided to add some screws to make it hold better and drilled some screws to the screen thru the frames and the mdf lifter pieces.

6. Antti cut 12 3,5cm pieces from the aluminium pipe, then sand them smooth! (sawing was the hardest thing in the whole project. I Suggest to find a machine to cut them with, or then just use a friend).

7. Then put screws thru the frames into the screen and put the aluminium pipes in between (In this point adding these aluminium pipes and screws was only a detail to make this look better).

8. Next, drill holes in wall. I Hate drilling the wall. It just never works! I wanted to make 3 holes, but since it didn't go deep enough at planned places, I drilled 6 holes in all. From these holes, 3 was pretty ok, 1 pretty bad, and 2 of them terrible. Bad luck?

9. Hang it there. Latest this point is the one to curse the constructing expert at Starkki. 60 kilos to the wall.

10. Prepare for painting. I Also suggest you to read how to paint before painting, I decided to do it after.

11. Paint 2-3 times.

12. Test the screen with Bboy EVO -DVD (which is dope btw)

13. Buy beer, invite friends and play PS3.

14. Be happy.

Poe-1 also hosted the prelims

From the battles, Ynot and Flaco shined the most, also winning most of the rounds. Eventually Ynot smoked 7 rounds first. Congrats bro!

Cross Over 2008

2009-01-15T20:47:00.000+02:00

I can't believe spending money like I actually had it.

But that's the way it goes, My brother bought 46" TV so I had to go after him and buy Full HD video projector for my PS3 which i bought a week ago. At least it more than doubles my brother's screensize. Right now I feel pretty upset but when I play new Final Fantasy 13 with 110" screen, I believe everything will be alrite..

Cathy from France has popping workshops today and tomorrow in Helsinki. Check them latest tomorrow if you missed today!

Also Flow-Mo documentary 'Let it Flow' will be shown on Finnish national TV on channel Yle Teema on saturday 15:00 & sunday 22:45. Remember to watch if you haven't yet.

Check my man Marks produced track with Ken Ring from Sweden, hiphop. Track is called 'Uppstår' from Ken's latest mixtape.
Listen it here:

So.. Cross Over Osaka, Japan.
After I came from Kyoto in the morning, on the sameday was 'Cross Over' event, The event that ends the year at Alley-Oop dance school.. I was prepared to sleep max 3 hours, since I knew girls would have a showcase there and I COULDNT MISS IT, since I MISSED THE PREVIOUS in 'Female trouble' event and the GIRLS WOULD KILL ME IF I MISS THIS ONE TOO!

I almost overslept but happily the event was late. The girls' showcase would start the whole thing.

People were warming up for 2vs2 Wacking, 2vs2 popping, 2vs2 locking -battles.

The night's band was doing mic checks :)

And girls were checkin their places

And Jenny was practicing her footwork..

I was hanging with wonderful RM sisters ;)

Ok well the battles and prelims..:

Actually there are so many of these pics that I put small thumbnails and then just click to open it full size, ok?

lets do it: (I won't comment on these ones, I let the people here in pics have peace and be anonymous if you don't recognize them)

Band had a talkbox show..

Marika And Kaisa from Finland won the wacking part, and Double'J came second in Popping. Congrats :)

The Event was Mad FUN! If you checked the pics you might have seen that at times it got out of hands.
Japan was more crazier than Finland AFTERALL!

When the event ended.. we went to eat with bunch of people. Gucchon, Kei, Tetsu-G, RM Sisters, Aeroman, Acky, etcetcetcetc.. it was delicious japanese food and I was happy with some drinks :).

Ayyght! Im out for now!

Back in Finland

2009-01-13T16:22:00.000+02:00

Hi,

Ok I try to keep up with this but I bought Playstation 3 just few days ago so Im hooked with that too :)

Now, since it's hard to be specific about last long trip in japan, I just up some random pics and try to get feeling about them.

Osaka Jo-castle:

One of the few sightseens in Osaka, the best place where I visited in city. I went there two times, first time alone since girls were busy dancing, the second time with them.

First time the day time (sorry about nature art stuff ;) but it's pretty beautiful right?)

Second time, doing the spider pig from simpsons (ADIDAS BE HAPPY FOR REPPING!!!)

Girls and The Main Man

Another nice place to visit is DEFINETLY Kyoto city, it's about 45min from Osaka by train. Japan's ex-capital. A lot of old school temples and shrines.. I went there 3 times. First time for a club, Second time for tourist stuff and third time legendary popper Seen and Chiho (Thanks very much for everything, you are beautiful people, I look forward for yall to come in Finland!!) showed us places, well basicly we just shopped that time but anyway :)

Ok so..
On the way to Kyoto.. (with brand new used Sigma 10-20 mm widescreen objective :) )

Sneak photographer

Kyoto city from high temple area

Yeah, the first time I went to Kyoto for club at daytime with Yemppa. My man Hongou from HEX BEX had a showcase there with HEX BEX & XXX LARGE. I didnt intend to stay there for a night party but then i decided to do so afterall. Yemppa went back to Osaka for a house club tho. Anyway the night was coo !

Kyoto at night time

hex bex & xxx-large showcase:

Other showcases:

Hongou & Me

Dai +

So many japanese names so hard to be sure but I'd say

Mes & Me

Maple Comics designs n all that! hussstle

After club we went to eat breakfast japanese style, dayymmnn, I was hungry. And Japanese people are really really nice. thanks all yall

Beautiful Kyoto in the morning

After Clubs & breakfasts I took train back to hostel and another usual day was completed when I got back to crib at 9.30 AM. Anniina was soo sweet that she wasn't even sleeping since she knew I was coming. So there she was, awake, waiting for me :).

Next day was 'Cross Over' event, The event that ends the year at Alley-Oop dance school.. I was prepared to sleep max 3 hours, since I knew girls would have a showcase there and I COULDNT MISS IT, since I MISSED THE PREVIOUS in 'Female trouble' event and the GIRLS WOULD KILL ME IF I MISS THIS ONE TOO!

So, next post will be about it, keep coming!!

PZ!

Japan vol.1

2008-12-24T17:19:00.000+02:00

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

2008-12-07T22:10:00.000+02:00

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!

2008-12-05T02:38:00.000+02:00

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

2008-12-04T20:44:00.000+02:00

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.

For more good golden stuff Check my friend Marks' blog at www.taukojalka.com/kulta-aika

Obama!

2008-11-05T10:22:00.000+02:00

Q-Tip GETTIN UP:

On last weekend there were two big events, circle kingz in switzerland and crash coosh in seattle, where Hatsolo and Focus repped:

Last weekend we were in Paris for Dance Delight eliminations.

At the venue, which was a nice old classic theatre, Bruce had a info to all crews (about 23), only we and 1 crew from Spain were outside of France.

Don't mess with stretching Ansq :)

This was the venue & crowd:

We had real good atmosphere while warmin up and the show went dopish.. It weren't enough to get any places but we had a nice feeling anyway. So itta crew after the show:

Vane, Ramo, Topi, Anniina, Olli, Jenny

After the show girls were so angry that they started drinkin and especially anniina and Topi got so furious!!

I was predicting police to arrive to our afterparty at sanna's place earlier than last year but against all the odds, they didnt show up at all. My guess for guests visiting that night was around 50-80. Only 1 table broke and someone tagged the toilet with yellow marker.

khrrm... if someone has 10 minutes of absolutely NOTHING to do. you can check some Afterafterafterparty Karonkka style from sunday... Thats the only 10 minutes i was selecting the songs. I dont recommend tho

By knowing the registerations I can already tell you that Payback 2vs2 Bboy competition will be the most hardcore battle in Finland's history! So keep your eye for events in 17.-19.7.!!!!

Telling stories from Oulun Katutanssit 2008 would take so damn much time, so I decided to skip that part for a second and concentrate on the vital stuff:

!!! WARNING !!! Advertisements !!!

I made a new mixtape for all you. It's called I <3 90's ( Not meaning the girls born on these particular years. I like the early 90's tho ) You can get this CD straight from me.

28 tracks, 75 minutes dope 90s hiphop sound. Made especially for newstyle heads but usable for bboys too and just for enjoying. Killer stuff.
