July?! And it is almost September?! A bit late with these monthly updates due to busy summer. Time does really fly!

We had unforgettable gig at Pori Jazz, bar Barco. Very nice time at JAMit festival in Rauma. Not to forget numerous really nice late nights at Tempo Terrace.

I wanted to put up High5 episode filled with disco jams that made at least my summer, hope the same for many others as well. First tune is the original tune that have been sampled by Armand Van Helden & A-Trak to their huge hit ‘Anyway‘. Second track is huge disco hit from Frantique, Philadelphia based disco group. Three last tunes are legendary Philadelphia disco. I will write Dance Classics blog post later on about Philadelphia disco to open it up a bit more.

Also soon to follow also one month behind: August High5 with special guest starring with some rare stuff! ‘Anyways’…! Lets get this disco started!

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.

Official press release in finnish:

Vuoden 2009 Funk Awardseissa (www.funk.fi) raumalainen ”JAMit” valittiin toiseksi parhaaksi klubiksi Suomessa! Jo vuosia ravintolakansaa viihdyttänyt Jamit-klubi laajenee festivaaliksi 30.7.2010. Samana päivänä Raumalla vietetään Mustan pitsin yön karnevaalia ja kyseisen illan JAMit-klubi onkin aikaisempina vuosina toiminut mainiona jatkopaikkana tälle perinteikkäälle juhlalle. Mustan pitsin yön JAMit ovatkin olleet jo kaksi vuotta peräkkäin komeasti loppuunmyydyt. Tästä viisastuneina JAMit-järjestäjät ovat päättäneet laajentaa tapahtumaa Bar Hovin sisätiloista edessä sijaitsevalle Kalliokadulle.

Tapahtuma-alueelle pystyteetään Kalliokadun levyinen lava ja kaksi open stage -telttaa. Klubimaista tunnelmaa liekitetään festivaali-alueella sijaitsevan Bar Hovin sisätiloissa. Festivaali keskittyy JAMit-kubien tapaan spontaanille esiintymiselle ja improvisaatiolle. Turhanpäiväinen aikatauluihin tuijottava jäykistely ja keikkojen perässä juokseminen kannattaa Jamit festivaalille saapuessa unohtaa. Mukaan kannattaa ottaa oma soitin, ennakkoluuloton asenne ja repullinen avointa jamittelumieltä! On aika ottaa rennosti ja nauttia esitysten välittömästä tunnelmasta!

Jamit-festivaali on ensisijaisesti koko päivän kestävä musiikkitapahtuma lukuisine lavoineen, mutta tiedossa on myös runsaasti monenlaista ulkomusiikillista ihmeteltävää, värikästä performanssia ja muuta taiteilua. Tällä festivaalilla soitetaan, tanssitaan, fiilistellään, nautiskellaan, tavataan ystäviä ja luodaan yhdessä uniikkia tapahtumaa – ilman turhia esiintymisaikoja tai genrerajoja. Tänä vuonna mukaan on lupautunut liuta hienoja artisteja aina suomihiphopin kärkikastista raumalaisiin tulennielijöihin, sekä tuoreisiin dj crew suomenmestareihin. Tiedossa on äärimmäisen letkeä festari, kun Rauman Kalliokatu valjastetaan Jamit festivaalin käyttöön!
