DJ Cornelius - From Rio to Toa Payoh (a new mix from Singapore)

Baile Funk travels far... My friend Wan aka DJ Cornelius from Singapore (!) sent me this cool mix with a lotta baile funk tunes I've been feelin lately. I know DJ Edgar will be all amazed when I tell him next friday that his songs have made their way all the way to south-east Asia... (Even Europe is soooo far away for the carioca DJs.) Anyway, check the mix out, it's really good!

Sany Pitbull & DJ Rideon in Tallinn, Estonia - Party photos & some video

Two weeks ago we were playing in Tallinn, Estonia with Sany Pitbull at a party called Bassikultuur (Bass Culture) hosted by top notch estonian DJs Alari Orav and San Antonio. I have to tell you the vibe was soooo great. Bangers after bangers and the crowd dancing and jumping like crazy! The party was almost as good as in Helsinki. So big up Alari and Anton!

First it's DJ Rideon hyping up the crowd:

Wooo-Hoooooooo!!! (Alari on the left...)
Setting the dancefloor on fire...
Takin'em up. (Only girls on the front row... lucky me!)
Time to switch:
Sany will rock you!
The guy's like diggin it!
Louder, better, faster, stonger!
The Maestro:
Crazy!
MPC tryout...
DJ Rideon & Sany Pitbull: Thanks Tallinn!

Also and extra special thanks to Laur Laanemaa, who took the photos! You can see more photos at the website of DJ San Antonio...

And the video by San Antonio:

Proibidão C.V.

For some time now, I've been meaning to write about this Proibidão C.V. CD that came out on Sublime Frequencies. But I kinda have lacked words as the whole record and it's existance make me frustrated. However, now my exellent fellow blogger Stuart at Fat Planet and MC Gringo on his blog summed up some of my feelings, so take a read...

This My Shit by Rideon


And here's the cover art for your iPods:

Some people have been asking also for the "DJ Rideon - Fuck Me Baby" track that was featured on the Top Billin EP. The vinyl has already been sold out, but now it's also available for digital download at the Top Billin Shop, Turntablelab, Juno Download or Gigacrate.

Sany Pitbull in Helsinki (photos).

Yeah, so last friday we had a very special night with Sany Pitbull... and I have to tell you it was a CRAZY party! The venue, Redrum, fits about 500 people in and we had 650 during the whole night. The dancefloor was absolutely packed and people were just jumping and shouting. And you should have seen those jaws droppin when Sany started banging his MPC... Total madness! A friend of mine, Riina, from the dancehall scene commented that she had never heard such bass in Finland and that she didn't even know that Redrum's speakers can hold that much bass. (they sure can!) "You could feel it outside, you could feel it in the toilets and you could FEEL IT on the dancefloor."

Even Sany himself told me that it was "The best party I've ever played in Europe." Hell yeah! So thanks to Sany and the whole Kovalevy crew and of course everybody at the audience. A night to remember!

And check out the photos by Tuomo Lampinen:

On this last photo the whole crew from left to right: J-Laini, Rideon, Fiskars, Anonymous & Sany Pitbull.

Heads up DJs, don't miss the Rio Baile Funk Breaks!

While in Berlin last week, Mr. Haaksman from Man Recordings provided me with the brand new Rio Baile Funk Breaks vinyl and after listening to it at home I can't do anything but highly recommend this one to every DJ and producer interested in baile funk! Specially designed for turntablists with lock grooves and skipless beats it's a perfect tool for battle DJs and what most important for all home (and professional) producers there's finally a vital source for those baile funk samples and loops I know you all desire (and with GOOD sound quality!). From "tamborzão" to "Volt Mix" it's all here. The shit is compiled by DJ Sandrinho, Daniel Haaksman and the Vienna based turntablist champion DJ Beware and out now. The edition is very limited so get yours before it runs out...


And as I know this will inspire a whole lot of producers try on baile funk remixes and mashups I wanna announce a baile funk remix competition. So send your baile funk remixes for me at timo.santala(at)gmail.com and at the end of May I'll publish the 5 best on the blog!

DJ Sany Pitbull live 7.3. @ Fabric, London

Oh, check out this youtube-clip from Sany's gig at Fabric last friday. The MPC-recycling of Justice vs. Simian's "We Are Your Friends" begins after about 1 minute. And that's Sinden by his side diggin the set...



And Helsinki is on fire tonight!
