Disco in


Lo and behold, dear blogheads!
Next Friday, 11.11.11. - a date that you simply can´t forget - yours truely is gonna spin the wax in Dubrovnik Lounge, owned by famous Finnish directors Aki and Mika Kaurismäki! We have already the next big movie happening coming up in Helsinki, this time it´s the 
short movie festival. The HLEF is gonna be held in three different venues, namely the cinema Orion, Andorra and said Dubrovnik. The latter will be besieged on that Friday by the Future Shorts club Helsinki who will show six short movies from different countries, among them are USA, Germany and Australia. A few words about Future shorts:
It´s a worldwide organisation dedicated to short movies which started out with its first chapter 2003 in London. FS has spread over many countries since its foundation and Finland is one of them, having chapters in Helsinki, Turku, Tampere, Pori and Rovaniemi. 
My friend Rasmus belongs to the Helsinki crew. Needless to say that they will be part of the HLEF and since they wanted a DJ for the night, he asked me if I´d like to do the job.
"Hell yeah!" was my reply cause I´ve always liked to be behind the turntables at cool events. Back in the day in Germany I had a DJ slot every two weeks in a crazy little bar which was good fun. I have kinda missed that and am happy I´m given the opportunity now.
First time in Finland! Expect the unexpected!

There will also be a band playing. Folk punk duo Jaakko & Jay hits the stage after the movies, armed with only acoustic guitar and a sparse drum kit they fit into the smallest corner but manage to make big waves, check em out! I´m on during the breaks and after the band - then the evil entity known as JottEff will take over completely!
