My early evening freestyle / Miami Bass set recorded live at Latin Explosion, Siltanen (Helsinki).

Bass! How low can you go?
Too much b***y in them pants...
Ain't nothing tooty fruity, get on the floor if you got that b***y...
Face down, ass up, that’s the way we like to—what?!

You might recognize these iconic lines—but they're not on this recording.
Press play and find out what's on the line this time.

Freestyle, Miami Bass, old school electro and some favela funk. Music from the 80s to 00s. I was running on fumes after work, but this set gave me life. Hope it does the same for you. Thanks for the invite DJ Marc Fred.

Acid house party tonight at Bar Typo, Helsinki with Mane & DJ Bastu. Lots of classic jackin’ records from Chicago in the bag + newer stuff accompanied with the sweet tunes of the tb-303 rhythm composer. Why today? Well tomorrow is the World TB-303 Appreciation Day that is celebrated on March 30 every year. As we say in Finland, the eve is the noblest of celebrations (aatto on juhlista jaloin), so we celebrate tonight from 22.00 onwards.

Introducing Mane

Emanuel Lauria a.k.a. Mane is an electronic music producer and DJ from México. He began as resident DJ of Club Aura in Monterrey, Mexico, warming up and closing the nights for several international Artists like Matias Aguayo, DJ T, Andre Kraml, Magda, and many more.
After moving to Berlin, Germany, he joined the local circuit by playing in clubs like Sisyphos, Farbfernseher, Paloma and Rummelsbucht, among others. Held a bi-monthly residency at bar Mysliwska (near Watergate), and as part of the artist roster of The Pantheon Bar collective, he played in multiple open airs and underground festivals in several hidden spots in and around Berlin.
In addition to his work as a DJ, Mane has released a couple of productions with Mexican label Short Attention Records, receiving praise from contemporary artists like Detroit talent Generation Next and Charles Webster. He is currently working in his upcoming imprint Snake Pit Records, based in Helsinki, Finland.

And featuring acidic mini DJ-set by DJ Bastu

Hailing from east coast Finland (area code 05) but nowadays Helsinki based DJ Bastu has been collecting Acid records from the early 1990’s. DJ Bastu found his calling in djing during the same time. Initially
inspired by hip-hop, Madchester took him deeper to rave, techno and
house. He also finds inspiration in NYC hardcore, Oi! and this mixture
of styles guarantees interesting energy of authentic raw and scabby,
even ghetto sounds. Windom is the manifestation of the producer side
of the artist. He has played live sets around Finland and also Hall in Tallinn, Estonia.

Hope to see many smiling faces tonight at Bar Typo! 😎
