What could be better act to end the summer season than Helsinki 78-82? Off The Hook is proud to have Flipperi and Koobra to play a dj gig at Yo-talo end of August. Big city house music of theirs just sounds like sweet sweet summer memories. When Flipperi played at the very first Off The Hook on spring 2008, I first heard some demo track of theirs. Since then tried to get my hands on their material. When the EP “Helsinki 78-82″ got out almost two years later, it really sounded like it was really done with consideration. That’s a quality contemporary club music seldom has. The EP really sounds like it could’ve been released on Kris Menace’s “Work It Baby” label, but I guess it became that good they wanted to keep it on their own label, Top Billin (and with that make a step forward for the label’s sound as well…). Good choice! The 2-track EP includes another Finnish comet of last year, Villa Nah on vocals on “So Lifelike”, and a post-summer nostalgic video track “Cruising”. Not more or less, these are two tracks that will last longer than half a month! That’s why this blog post and the upcoming party is still very topical.
