The original purpose of this site was to work as a news site for my friends telling what's up at my side, but also to work as a place to spread my productions and also as a diary for me, so that I could easily recall afterwards ie. what party was when & where and when did I meet up some new people etc. So I decided to rename the NEWS section to DIARY, but I also shrunk the menu quite a lot by removing some less useful sub-pages and combining some of the information under the sub-pages that were left. There's also some other changes on the menu, for example a new item VIDEOS, and from now on I will present different kinds of video material under that page, including graphic step-by-step videos, music and live-gig videos. I've also fixed some issues all around, ie. the site is now fully compatible with 800x600 mode.

He's coming for 3 gigs in Finland this year, so keep your eyes open for parties to come (the first are est. to be held in March)! Another news item - "Donnell & Douglas - The club is open" is now also coming out through Edel Finland on one of Kontor Records' latest compilations - "Top of the clubs"!- 07/01/04 "The club is open" made it to Tom Harding's Top 5 for overall 2003 playlist! 1. DK8 - Murder was the bass (DK Recordings) 2. Mauro Picotto - New time, new place (Primate) 3. Organ Donors - 4 tribes (Clive King remix) (Nukleuz) 4. Donnell & Douglas - The club is open (Phobos) 5. Scott Mac - Damager 2 (Limit)- 06/01/04 Finally! The holidays are over and I'm back online. I would've not denied if someone had offered me more holiday time though. Both Christmas and New Year's eve went nicely and peacefully and I've relaxed quite a lot by only watching movies, playing games and not keeping up with business stuff much if at all. Today our workshop was finally rewired and a new computer (P4 2.6ghz / 1gb / 120gb) is being installed during the next couple of days, so we'll get to work with new material soon! ;) |
the year now and spend some holidays. Remember to eat lots of ham and don't get too sick of all that regular chocolate stuff ;)- 10/12/03 I've been having 39-40'C fever for the third day in a row and it seems to last for some more days. Finally got the modem working at home anyways.- 05/12/03 Do you remember Dj Prince and his co-project with Justin K. called "Got to have", a warm-up of the classic Felix tune that struck #3 on the USA Billboard Dance Chart back in 2001? I found out the same Dj Prince favoured our Donnell & Douglas track enough to take it on place #2 on his Top 10 chart! 01. The Digital Blonde - Mooga (Original) 02. Donnell & Douglas - The club is open (Bostik remix) 03. Pounding Grooves 29 - Rock this party (original mix) 04. Fusion 808 - Traveller (take on me) (Kaylab remix) 05. Tomcraft - Loneliness (Klub mix) 06. Sound of overdose - City 2 city (Dj Scot Project) 07. Acer vs The Beeber - Sound of Now (Rob Fabrice mix) 08. Rob Tissera - Burning (Sundissential) 09. Dj Meizter - Can U Feel It (Steve Hill Code mix) 10. Dee Dee - The one Source http://www.djprince.no- 01/12/03 REFRESHINGS & NEW RELEASE! "Donnell & Douglas - The club is open" is now again available as Spanish release at Blanco y Negro's webstore! The D&D track has now also been released on HQ 100th Edition compilation, mixed by Tom Harding. Check the tracklisting here! My internet connection is now closed and therefor the FTP-server is offline permanently as well. I will look up for broken links and such afterwards and try to fix them where possible. Appropriately the MP3.com site is going down as well now that CNet bought their service and they are closing down the artist pages on 2nd of December.- 27/11/03 For the last couple of days we've been tearing down the studio and today we started putting things back together again. The reason for doing this is to get everything wired up, air ventilation fixed and making the monitoring sound better. It's already sorting out the way it's going to work from now on, hopefully I'll get to work in "Ice Cube v3.0" by the end of next week already :)- 21/11/03 Video of the gig on 13.11.03 is now online! Download it here! [MPEG 28.1MB] - 18/11/03 NEW RELEASE! "Donnell & Douglas - The club is open" is available also on Party Grooves - The Mixmaster compilation by ZYX in Germany! Check this compilation and audioclips at Primusmedia.de! Primusmedia also sells the "The club is open" single itself. As some of you may have already noticed by my recent playlist, I have made a remix of Don Johnson Big Band - One Mc, One Delay a couple of months ago and lately also a remix of Dallas Superstars - Fast Driving. The original version of "One Mc. One Delay" went #2 on the Finnish singles chart on it's first week and ruled the Finnish dance chart at position #1, while the "Don Johnson Big Band - Breaking daylight" album itself sold platinum. Dallas Superstars have been gaining very nice success by topping on top spots on different charts in Scandinavia already. As both of the remixes are official and copyrighted material, they will not be available for downloads anywhere (so guys stop asking me to send them), but hopefully you'll hear them afterwards in some form of official releases. So we got a couple of cool new remixes here, which I'll tell more about later on :) IMPORTANT NOTICE! Because I've lately been quite absent online and due to access to internet at school, I will close my current internet connection by the end of this month, so my FTP-server will also be offline after 30th of November. If you have any songs you are missing from the available download folders on my FTP, download them now while you still can! Of course some of them will still be available on my Mikseri.net page and on filesharing programs etc. but most of them will go offline by the end of this month and I'm not sure when I'll get a new connection for the FTP-server. Obviously it will take time, maybe a year or even two. How will I survive without my ADSL? *sob* :(- 17/11/03 Some photos taken from the gig with Nokia 3650 are now available online! Closer up Red district In booth with Dj Meke Dancefloor Smoke Collase - put your hands up! ;D- 16/11/03 Gig at the Official opening of Realm party @ Club Promo (13.11.03) Had a really nice ball and evening in overall on last thursday (13.11.03), while spinning at Opening of Realm parties at Club Promo in Tampere and meeting people at an afterparty. Since I'm not a deejay at all, I ironically started the set with a track with lyrics "we rock the party with no deejay!" ;) I had so much fun out of the gig that I'm looking forwards to get to play soon again, thanks to all those who took part on the party! Pictures and some video footage are coming up afterwards!

It's been a while since last update but lots has been happening lately. On last week's tuesday I was out partying at a local club and suffered the temperature of +53'C inside for the evening, it was a blast despite the heat ;) On wednesday a friend came visiting me and on thursday we went to Madwave NRG-fest at Club Kiva, which presented deejays Karri K, Proteus, Danny D (Dance Valley, NL) and Sergei Shkuroff making the floor bounce with hard stuff through the evening (me wants more!).. and partying continued on friday at Club Dive where the dj-venue consisted of Cor Fijneman, Slusnik Luna and Urmaz vs Markus S. I slept only 4 hours after the parties before leaving to Turku to join my father's wedding party. I finally fell asleep on sunday at 7am on grass-floor outside and I slept 22 hours in overall divided in several parts after all the parties, nice! ;D Yesterday I crashed with my bike on a sandy road and got some cuts to my hands and left leg but it's all okay now.

I was out both nights dancing through weekend and pretty devastated about it during sunday and monday.. on tuesday I took a 50km cycling trip and yesterday I met one workfriend at town. I was supposed to go out clubbing but all the clubs were empty and I found myself visiting a couple of rock-bars (wtf?) and watching Resident Evil and some anime movie over the night at a friend of mine.

Here's a banner from Subtraxx against piratism. The guys have stood up against illegal mp3 sharing after lots of major record companies went down in UK due to war and also piratism, where mp3s naturally play one of the main roles. It's turned out to be impossible these days to get signed in UK since the top producers who recently were signed to record companies have lost their contracts due to bankcrupcies of the record companies and are now constantly seeking for a record deal. Some of them have quit producing music totally but it is impossible for newbies to get signed in UK these days. Hope there will be some sort of solution on the issue in the near future before the whole business is wasted. I'm asking for you guys to put up the banner on your websites, it's for the good. And how appropriate for the banner, RIAA has filed a $97.8 trillion law suit for piratism, now we're talking! ;D![]() - 25/03/03 The venue of top deejays playing Donnell & Douglas is growing as one of UK's biggest deejays Lisa Pin-up has now welcomed "The club is open" on her playlist at position #6!

Read more by clicking here! "The donation was a suggestion by a friend of mine. This way we see how many people are willing to pay for the music in reality, which they can download online for free. It's the same thing as if there was a netstore selling MP3s and people still had the chance of downloading pirate copies of the records for free from warez-programs like Kazaa and the likes. Maybe some will understand the music has it's worth, and no-one can complain about 'rich record companies' drawing money from the records, because the money goes directly for the support of the artists." ADD ON : Donors who donate 5 euros / dollars or more, will also get access as a reward to a restricted directory, which includes full 320kbps versions of songs and also bonus tracks, which have not been released on the web.

However the power supply seemed to be dead and I was checking the cables with a +12V metallic tester.. for being stupid enough, I checked (by holding both ends of the tester in my arms) some odd cables that came out of the power supply with the tester, and I got a hard electric shock to my left arm. I opened the box to see what that was about just to notice the cables I just had been playing around with were directly connected to the normal 230VAC in-house cable-power. Well I was glad to not die in this small accident, I trashed the power supply and went out on town to party with friends ;o] I've already once before almost caught death due to an electric shock but I survived fine alright, it was only around 1-2 millimeters away and I would've got a 380V shock from left arm to right arm.

It all works fine the next time you click on a link which gave the error though. The portfolio is at address http://www.joelkalsi.com/portfolio- 15/08/02 20 new photos added! Rauma on midsummer 20.6.2002 01. Laihanen and Veejay go karaoke ;D 02. Laihanen caught a local chick for a dance ;D Kirkastusjuhlat 13.7.2002 / Aitoo 03. Laura Närhi of Kemopetrol 04.

[26.7.2002] - Me and Veejay with some teenager (inside joke for friends) : Veejay: Excuse me, could I get myself photographed with you? Chick : (hihihih) Sure.

Pandora still remains good looking ;^) 12. "One of is crying, one of us is lying, ain't it lonely there..." 13. E-Type preparing for the act; The stage was covered with a huge swedish flag! 14. Bang! "E" for euro-energy! 15. Nice flames on the stage, no wonder E-Type is Sweden's most expensive live-band =) 16. I sure like the flames.. and the outfit of Dee ;^) 17. The gig had a massive feeling from the beginning to the end (1.5 hours!)! 18. Guitar solo! 19. And flares! Time to trash the guitar ;D 20. And yet more flames. There must've been 20kg of TNT on the stage =D- 13/08/02 I've been asked for a program for dividing big files in to multiple smaller ones. Here's a handy program coded by an army friend of mine : File Joiner & Splitter - By Crymionis Design Software- 12/08/02 So, we had a ruff party at Dexter's villa, I woke up from the beach at 9am but immediately went back to villa for partying ;D It was nice time, I'd take it again any time, and probably will do so after a couple of weeks!- 11/08/02 Uuuh I haven't been this wasted for a long time! No hangovers but veeery sleepy of all the partying.. luckily enough I'll get to rest with/at work on the week and collect myself up some power for the next weekend again ;D- 10/08/02 Party partyy! It was way too übergeil last night ;D Now the headache is slowly going off and I'll be off to Dexter's villa in any minute now, more partyy! ;D- 06/08/02 I was in Kukkaisrock on sunday checking out Pandora and E-Type, Pandora gave me a nice nostalgic feeling but E-Type kicked arse! Like usually, they had a huge load of pyrotechnics on the stage with the live band (this time 6 bassdrums for two drummers, one letter on each for "E - T Y P E" ;D) which included two guitarists, two keyboardists, two drummers, bassist, 3 backing vocalists plus of course Martin and Dee as fronts theirselves. The drumstage was built to raise up and there was a lot of comedy and humour in the show with action, of course we saw the always needed breaking of an electric guitar as well ;D The show was something you all should have seen =)- 04/08/02 Just came home from movies, checked MIB2 and it was pretty much of fun =) Before going to movies I had 3-4 hours of spare time to spend at the studio and I thought why not spend the time usefully and make some quickie to get a new release for this site =) I went experimenting on the rave side and back to the roots around the mid 90'ies.. many of you still remember RMB, and if you'd go name an artist who's done stuff like this, RMB would definately be it. The track turned out a bit boring but it was fun making it, here's the download link : Download : JOLE - LIBERTY [192kbps MP3, 6.79MB]- 03/08/02 Ruff ruff!

I visited the studio today for the first time in 3-4 weeks and the level of inspiration was in zero, although I got a nice kick on ideas last night for a new tune ;^) Gotta pay some more time on it and see what happens the next time I go screw with the knobs. Anyways, a bit off-topic thing, I found this hilarious video clip one day and thought about sharing it with ya guys =) Download [MPEG - 1.25mb]- 27/07/02 Agh had a ruff partynight last night! ;D Here's a couple new photos to the gallery =) - Me & Myrva, Laihanen in the middle, Veejay and Anzku at the bottom - Our posse on the way to Rauma during midsummer fests =)- 25/07/02 I finally got new photos done!

I removed the old guestbook, so now you can write your messages to the forum and if you want to write me a private message, write it via mail form on Feedback page. Thanks to Perttu Rasi for the mail form code!- 14/07/02 I spent the weekend at a cottage and on the last evening we visited 'Aitoon Kirkastus- juhlat' (120 years old festival on countryside) with my girl friend and friends, we had pretty nice time and I got myself a bit burned in the sun but I also got a bit tanned =)- 11/07/02 Now that I can't produce any new material due to the job, I'm releasing this "old" eurodance flava track I made over a month ago. Feedbacks to the forum or mail to Jolex@Sci.fi, cheers! Download "Babe - Hold me (Jole radio remix)"- 10/07/02 Time to update again.. I got a new job on 5th day, working at a windshield / glass factory for a couple of weeks at least, easy stuff with a good salary =) On saturday I was on a business travel in Helsinki, it was pretty cool =) On sunday I had 10 hour work day and now I'm exhausted all the time during the week, no time for music for a while now, d'oh =I- 05/07/02 NEW RELEASE!

I'll see if I can release it here after it's done!- 01/07/02 OLD NEWS REMOVED AND A NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE! It was the time again to wipe off older news worth of half a year and set them on their own page (see at bottom "NEXT PAGE"). I browsed through the old news and a lot of stuff has been happening during this time.. this news thingie has become my personal public diary online =) And now to the cool news!

I think I can put it online here after it's ready, so stay tuned! ;^) Last night I was at Mikseri.net's parties at Club Puuteri in Turku checking out Chorale's live-act and meeting friends and people of the Finnish club music scene. Was pretty cool time in overall, even though Chorale's live-act had some problems (use a cd-player next time doods ;D), it was a a kick-ass gig with some several new tunes =)- 27/06/02 Added even a few more photos of the gear, taken with an analogic cam though. - 26/06/02B ![]() SWEET! DUUDE! Another cool news update during the same day.. the final studio photos are now online! I had some help from my friend Jaba who brought his digicam and took a few shots around the studio, now you see there really are lights on the ceiling and not just dark walls as in the photos I took with my own camera! ;D PHOTOS AVAILABLE ON THE STUDIO PAGE!- 26/06/02 I've been asked to put some photos of our studio online and I've promised to make a page about the building of the studio Ice Cube (the name hence the nature of the structure and material of the room), and here it finally is with all detailed info on each photo! I will later on add pictures of the final setup in the studio now that everything has been done and finished, but I need to get myself a good digicam for that purpose at first. So, let's all start building our own studios now with the given instructions on the page! =) PROCEED TO THE PAGE BY CLICKING HERE! (367kb)- 22/06/02 On tuesday I was checking out some space for a studio at Tampere, looked pretty nice. On thursday I was visiting Rauma with Laihanen, Veejay and his friend, was a cool trip and I have some bunch of promising photos coming up in the future of the travel ;D Yesterday it was storming for the first half part of the day, so I spent the last part at the studio, watched "Fast & Furious" (really cool movie btw) and listened to some music.. that's quite much the specialties of my midsummer partying this year, think I'll go today to the studio again to check out some other movie. This whole news page has become more of a diary it seems, except for diaries are never public so this is something unique now, innit? =D- 19/06/02 Agh. Had a major system crash yesterday and I had to reinstall everything. - 16/06/02 Ahh finally home. Was a wicked journey to Helsinki =) I've got lots of stuff to do for this forth coming week (going to Helsinki on wednesday again for business related stuff amongst all other cool plans), so I'm busy with the music scene but I've hardly got any plans for the mid-summer, d'oh =I- 14/06/02 It's 7:20 in the morning, friggin early. On wednesday I just suddendly went to Helsinki with a couple of friends to check out fests @ Kaivopuisto where they had Shakira, Bomfunk Mcs etc. on stage. We didn't see any of the acts there though, but it was a nice extemporee trip =) Now I'm leaving to Helsinki again within the next 15 minutes, strictly business this time. Hope it ain't gonna rain all time now, the weather looks shitty here =P- 12/06/02 Had a pretty rough workday yesterday and now I'm aching all over, I slept almost 15 hours last night so I finally got some rest after sleeping badly for a week.. slept only one hour on the night before the work (fucking insomnia) so I was pretty exhausted in the evening. I'm going to Helsinki on friday for a few hour visit, it's something like two years since my last time in Helsinki.. hope I'm not getting lost in the city =) Btw. try searching for "Babe - Hold me (Jole radio remix)" on AG or Kazaa ;D- 10/06/02 I'm having a single work day tomorrow, let's see how it goes =) - 09/06/02 Thought about releasing the European Conference meeting in Finland 2001 -tune as mp3 too, the video was shot at my hometown Tampere.

DOWNLOAD : "TOGETHER AGAIN" (MP3) and VIDEO (MPEG - 39.9MB)- 08/06/02 Uhuh, I've been lacking inspiration lately.. can't target my powers on just one tune and can't get anything done, well it's better to relax for a while maybe. I should soon receive Chorale's live-gig as DivX, will include it on my server and link it up here ;^)- 05/06/02 New tune online - "Jole - End of days (long mix)" [10.2mb]![]() Well it's not that brilliant but I wanted to give a try on this faster stylish monotonous hard house too.. dunno if this is honest nu-nrg but it's stompy and has that some nrg =) The lightning photo was taken by a dutch friend of mine, Mischa Visser. Thanks.- 03/06/02 Home sweet home! To keep things short, I had a really cool promotional weekend, I visited Soundfreaks' sweet studio today and on friday and saturday I met up some celebrities of the club music scene and got the forth-coming record on rotation for numerous big name deejays, including norwegian female hard house dj Miss Jarea (group photo coming up in the future =). Let's see what comes up! Maybe thumbs at least ;^) So, our vinyl pressings are possibly delivered to the post office on this week, but I ain't telling ya the name of the project 'nor the record yet ihhihih ;D- 30/05/02 Finished "Babe - Hold me (Jole radio remix)" today! Can't put it online yet because it is an official mix as well as is the Jet-Z remix I did yesterday. I should start a new song soon, got ideas up and ready and maybe I'll arrange a recording session with some gal next week for the vocals. I'm going to Turku tomorrow for promoting one forth coming record (will remain un-named for a moment still ;^) and meeting my father. I'll be back by monday eve, so the website will probably remain un-updated over the weekend.- 29/05/02

Many links will be unavailable during that time, I'm sorry for any trouble this may cause to you.- 19/05/02 I was at the studio today, did some sound design for a new song and some rendering and video editing. Maybe we could expect a new tune to start out in near days =)- 17/05/02 Hmm bought some nice trousers, shorts and a pair of sunglasses this week ihih =D - 16/05/02 Here's a paper collase, a work I made for one school's pre-tests.. do notice the small slashes, glittering things on objects etc.. one hell of a hard thing to cut and glue on the paper.ESCAPE VELOCITY - The gearlist also got updated today with 7 new items that I had forgotten to include in it; Now monitoring, guitar stuff, amps etc. have been defined more closely. - People have been asking me to put studio photos online, so I've scanned the photos taken from the building sessions of our studio. I have to take the final shots of the place and get the film done but I gotta start building the studio page now, who knows if it'll be ready in this month already =) - The MP3 Downloads -page got updated as well, with filenames of the mixes I've done, so you may try to find them on some mp3 search engine. - The COMMERCE website is back online! ;D- 12/05/02 Okay, just came home from a nice birthday party of a friend.

The other cheaper design was removed and I created an intro for the site. Gotta rework on the design some day to make this a real blast ;^)- 03/04/02 Sasha, of Sasha & Digweed fame, wrote to the IDM mailing list : "The lack of maturity here is exessively apparent. I don't even know why I am waisting my time kicking these little bits of knowledge to you pathetic "Braindancers". I travel all over the world with the pure intention of spreading the vibe of trance music. All those who cannot handle the ultimate power that Rave Youth has harnessed through the power of trance are welcome to sit at home buying obscure records on Ebay. The reason you can't buy my recordings on Ebay is because you can just go down to Tower Records or Sam Goodie and be instantly connected to our culture. Commercialism is not evil, it is a vehicle to educate the masses. You people need to wake up and recognize the true vibe. Until then my fans and I will be enjoying heaven on earth." I thought he was one of those assholes spinning underground trance, this has now made him one of my idols. Way to go Sasha!- 01/04/02 Oh yes I got a record deal! ... April fool! =D Well, not funny.

Of course there is some minor stuff to do like a better air conditioning system and we need to update the production machine within the near days to get the place on full throttle! Watch out for more information and photos of the set-up in the future!- 05/03/02 Oi news, I got myself a counter on the page =) I've also been working lately, hopefully switching to another job soon though.- 11/02/02 Some warez guy tried to use my FTP server for spreading his mp3s. I replaced the files with my own tunes (sorry I couldn't resist it really! =D) and now people are downloading my songs whereas they think they're downloading Shakira and some of those songs from the Danish Royal weddings ;D Hello for those who made it up to my site after downloading the songs, I did this because I really don't accept spreading illegal material on my server. You gotta go and buy the records from the record shops if you want to listen to what you were looking for.- 08/02/02 The DC-10 band has been ended. More info at http://listen.to/dc-10 - 07/02/02 The site seems to be alive and kicking again eh? ;^) I got the "RECORDS" page and "DOWNLOAD" page updated finally. The 2.

Read the full report!- 28/12/01 Aight, lot's has been happening lately. Last night we transferred the gear back to Dee's place and we'll be decorating the studio from here on with furniture, curtainings etc. and with new equipment of course =) Now as we speak of new equipment, we have equipped the new studio with two vintage tape recorders, where the other one is from the 50/60ies (possibly -64 made due to it´s name) Grundik TK64 (made in the UK) and other one, Grundik TK145, seems to be from the 70ies and made in the West Germany. We'll see what sort of material we'll come up with these two analogue monsters. and in mint condition (it has been used for about ten times back then and it's direct drive so it hasn't got the problems the old belt driven ones have). I actually exchanged my other Fostek 2050 line mixer for it, dunno if I lost some money in the exchange but the vinyl player is good innit. DC-10 and it seems we won't be doing any more material under this project. The DC-10 website should be updated in the future though, with infos how the members are doing and what's happening with us these days. The old news and some photos will be left online as well and some material will be downloadable in mp3 format. Sorry to let you guys down like this, but we don't see any continuity or use for the band anymore so we will target our powers to other projects. Thanks for being there and for your support that made us go through these wonderful first years on our musical career. Go check the official DC-10 website at HTTP://WWW.VIP.FI/~DC-10- 20/12/01 Been really cool time now after getting out of army. Got my server working last night and now there's a bunch of stuff available at HTTP://WWW.JOLE.D2G.COM. Just to mention some of the stuff, the server upkeeps the most comprehensive list available on internet of our work throughout the years! If you're into sending me a demo, why not upload it to the ftp so I can take a listen on it in the first case? Try the free anonymous account : FTP : jole.no-ip.com USER: anonymous PASS: (nothing)- 11/12/01 Getting out tomorrow finally! - 03/12/01 I shot excellent scores on last Friday's shooting tests and got granted with a golden badge, I've been waiting for it for the whole time I've been here and now I finally got it. I might also get a free one day holiday off from here so that would mean one more day out from the counts. 9 days left and counting...- 29/11/01 Where did November go? I woke up on the floor with a bunch of smoked mushrooms beside me and 4 weeks had passed.. just
joking.
In reality I lost almost half of the month on the camp and time passed
through pretty quickly. I'm 13 mornings away from getting out of this hell hole (6 mornings to wake up
here and
7 holiday mornings in between,
not
a bad catch) so I can get back on the track
and get up with some new
tunes.
- 22/10/01 Not much happening out here. I'll be going on camps for 22 days on next monday so I'll be disconnected of the real world
for 4 weeks. Damn that's a long time to spend in a cold tent.- 17/09/01 I made a video 10 days before the attack by the terrorists which was about a Boeing plane crashing through the Statue
of
Liberty and cutting it's head off. Guess was I surprized when I heard
about the actual terrorist attack 10 days later on? My grandmom was
horrored about my video back then and told me
to not make such videos
or
the third world war would rise up. Now the US are in war and
everyone
are
afraid of the third world war. I was on a holiday last friday and I
read
one story from local paper, it said one document film had been
drawn off
from TV because the document was about terrorists and there was a fake
clip how terrorists hi-jacked a
helicopter and crashed on Statue of
Liberty, and the statue's head dropped off. Am I a wizard or
what? Btw, someone even shouted "IT

Nello who was born in Croatia became a real legend during his life time. Nello was known especially of his rough use of the TB303-sound. Especially Nello's remixes were very respected, but he also had the time for releasing material under his own name (singles Never Ending Story and C'est ma vie). Nello's other project's were Razzia and Silver among others. He did mixes for La Cream, Solid Base and Alice Deejay just to mention a few. The master is gone." died and what can I say? Only the good die young. He died on 5.8.- 19/08/01 It's 4:00am and I just came home after retiring from work. I felt a various range of feelings due to the last night at work, I was happy, sad, glad and feeling unreal at the same time. It's time to head for new adventures, stay tooned!- 17/08/01 I just found out on Wednesday that I will have to go back to army on 3rd of September.

The next Candyman single, Rock Ya Body, will be released during the change of April-May.

You're The One -music video will start rotating on local MTV and other music channels. The new songs and the next album will also be released in Asia as stated in the current deal. The media concern which signed Candyman for the Asian market is in monopol status on the local sound and recording industry, but also owns a TV-station of it's own and a wide range of various magazines.- 18/03/01 I've been concentrating pretty heavily on my account at mp3.com and I'm getting some results now.

I'm telling about this a bit late now, but the tune I made at late '99 called "Metroid One - It's so good (in love)" was played at Bergen / Norway 30 minutes right before Darude's gig at a local huge club. There was large amount of posse at the club and they went just crazy jumping over and clapping their hands when this successor tune got a play (I believe it has been played few times already earlier there because it seemed to be already known by the people)!- 18/01/01 Now I've rescanned a couple of old gig-photos : - 09/01/01 New section available called GALLERY which includes both old PHOTOGRAPHY and GRAPHICS sections.

here it is now as MPEG-1! Download video (33.8mb)- 01/01/01 Now there's a weird date again, missed checking my watch at 01:01:01 in the morning, d'oh! Had a nice New Year's eve in a cottage with pals, music and lots of booze, also some rockets for a change (haven't been shooting any fire crackers for years, was more fun than I could recall =) did some "foreseeing" with new year's "magics" and it said I'm going to have a dog, a new house and a baby(?!). Seems like those "foreseeing" things are bullshit! =D because those promises about something new and updates are always being left late or undone due to time scheduals and so on. I have discovered some photos from DC-10 crew's party sessions and I think we're about release them with some very interesting infos and documentations as well. Maybe we will start seriously with the so long promised new album, who knows. Laite (formerly Floppi) has teamed up with Maka and they're writing their own stuff currently. We are more powered now that there are two studios for writing new songs full time, so there's a slight chance on coming up with the so long awaited album, "STAY TOONED!" is what I'd say! and tell more about things I've done, in the "diary" -way and yet keeping business and stuff like that still in the mix. Consider this as my New Year's promise =)- 29/12/00 Get the ultimate tool for compressing mp3s to 1/3 of the original size without quality loss! - 28/12/00 New Year's eve just around the corner =) - 27/12/00 Recently I made a music video of "Donnell & Douglas - Desperado" by cutting "Sequential One - I wanna make you" video to bits and pieces and reccompiling the new video from the cuts by using effects etc. The outcome turned out pretty nice and I've set a preview of the video as RealMedia here, check the video by clicking here or download the video (2.75mb) from here! The full size video will probably be available as in MPEG1 or DIV-X format in the future, stay TooneD!
