Some day, when I find a suitable quality picture of myself, this will be a proper picture of DJ UTU...

Spinning for ~20 years already and still strongly "in the mix"...

While I was still approximately the size of a rather large foam extinguisher, I used to go to every last one of discos/parties for my age group that were arranged in my neck of the woods. Finally, when I was on the 6th grade, our class were allowed to organise such an event (on February 21st, 1990 to be exact). We had Lasse Aro as a DJ and with his approval I was - for the first time - introduced to what the life "behind the decks" is like. I started spinning the decks a lot more frequently during junior highschool and by the time I was 16, I was playing music for living in bars (in Finland, 16 is the age when you can start working in bars under adult supervision) as well as still finding the time to spin music at parties for younger audiences.

In 1996 I started a company, Disco-Nova, which was - originally - intended to be solely a show service. The company still exists even though the curriculum of activities it executes have broadened "a bit". Excepting for a very few short breaks in the profession, at the time of writing this I've been deejaying for almost 20 years and there seems to be no end in sight. I still very much consider myself as being "in the mix".

Promomix (2009/10) [49MB]

I personally enjoy playing a diverse selection of music. Mainly my sets consist of all sorts of mainstream music; dance, house, r'n'b, hiphop. I use remixed versions of songs a lot, but mainly in order to keep the nights "interesting". And I like "good" music above all else.

Media / Video

The soundtrack for this video was originally made for the purpose of promoting an event organized in Nokia, Finland. Later I decided to make a videomix to go with the audio. The video is a nine minute long "quickmix" containing bits and pieces from sixteen distinct 90's hit songs. How many can you recognize?

You can also download the video [67MB] ... the downloadable version is slightly higher quality than the streamable version.

I have some other videos uploaded on Youtube; scenes from some of my gigs and all sorts of other random stuff.
