Waiting For The Big Night

Excitement is definitely starting to rise since it's only 3 days until AuralCandy.Net 2nd Anniversary Party is taking place! I'm really happy about the way our gig has been promoted so far. No effort has been spared by the ACDN-crew to raise awareness of the event. It will be intriguing to see how we will succeed in making it a night worth remembering and bringing audience to the club. The more, the better :-)

I would say that the timing for our gig here in Lahti is ideal. Now that summer holidays are over and universities, polytechnics etc. have started, a lot of people go out clubbing on weekends - especially on Saturdays. Hopefully we'll have loads of people coming in through the doors of Seurahuone Night.

About the music itself, both MK-Ultra and myself are hard at work planning our DJ-sets for the big night. I finally got into the process of making a preliminary track list to choose from in my sets next Saturday. So far the track list is quite long, but during the next few days I will gradually choose the best combination of music to be played. Naturally there has to be room for some last minute changes, since reactions of the audience must be taken into account when playing live sets.

At the moment I'm listening through the tracks and making notes how well they mix with each other. Harmonic mixing can take you only so far, in the end it’s the chemistry of the tracks that makes a nice set. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of time and effort to archive it, but honestly you never know in forehand how it comes out.

I'm planning to play a lot of fresh house music releases accompanied by new remixes of classic tracks. Style wise the name of the game will be progressive house, tech house and electro house. I hope to see you all on Saturday night!

One last thing; a lot of people have been asking who has designed our gig poster. The gentleman responsible is Brett Parson from United States. The voluptuous blonde on the poster is our mascot whom we have dubbed Kandi - homage to the once legendary Hed Kandi label. Isn't she hot or what? Chances are you'll be seeing more of her in the future.
