Reggae Line Hakaniemi

There is a story behind this (Romain loved Helsinki when he saw snow for the first time in his life), but still it's weird; scenes from Hakaniemi Metro station in a video mainly shot in JA. Just go to 0.22 to check it out... I guess Romain could not take anyone home with HSL-service.

Support Black Superman

This was really sad news. The Black Superman who has already featured on our blog before was assaulted a couple days ago here in Helsinki. Apparently some inebriated young men had kicked him off his rope to show their masculine power of joint effort and the creativity of drunken mind.

Fortunately Superman did get too bruised and he was not left with permanet injuries. We the Kriton Posse would like to send him all the best and encourage you to give him a couple of euros next time you pass by his act. Let's all sing this song.

Foghorn: One Love (1996)

Foghorn -1996 from johnny aka 270 Maffia on Vimeo.

This is a true classic from the days of our yoof. Some familiar headz in there, looking oh so fresh.

Via Miglos.

Welcome to Helsinki

Well Helsinki ain't New York, but it's awesome that they're making songs about it like it was. Big up. And it's a great posse here. Stadi, respect!

Superman Spotted in Helsinki

Once again the black superman has been spotted doing acrobatic circus stunts in Helsinki center.

I guess it's the same guy that Jussi spotted in 2006. However it's still unsure whether the giant chicken has lived to see 2011.

Hold Yuh: Gyptian Is Coming To Town

One of my favourite Jamaican artists since the single "Serious Times", Gyptian, will give some warmth to our autumn! Awesome!

Listen to these to get set:

Serious times
Hold Yuh
B'ful lady
Mi Fadda seh
Mama

And then the crickets came...

Had to post this, 'cos nature is really cool when it shows its power. All footage from Helsinki last Sunday when we had a epic thunderstorm. Check out the video especially! Soooo like Independence day...

I really loved when the lights kinda went out in the city and everything went black... Whooah!

Do the Cocomotion with Dennis

Cocomotion gets deep into summer 2010! In june i'll have Schmami from Shine 2009 (and also behind some AWESOME solo tracks...) as a guest DJ at Cocomotion. So i thought, who'd be better to start off the summer season than a picture good old Dennis Wilson, the absolute dudest of them Beach Dudes. Rumour has it that no other rock star dated more cute chicks in the 70's than Dennis.

Put on your Sebagos and take a sip of da Pina. Pacific Ocean Blue vibes run this mofo!

Bromo DragonFly / MDPV / mCPP / ???

Ward 21 inna town 30.5.2010

They may not be the most relevant artist at the moment, but really entertaining on stage, I'm sure. And a good replacement for Demarco who cancelled his European tour.

Cocomotion tonight!!

Welcome!!!!

Cocomotion goes Spotify!

Mixtapes are, like, the past, right? Spotify is, like, today, right? Naah, just kidding.. But since mixtapes can be a pain in the ass to make, I decided to go halfway and make a Spotify playlist for Cocomotion club. Here it is, fulla balearic goodness, dance jams and pop gems. Next time, I promise to make a mix.

Freeride skiing in Lauttasaari

Snow is fun and this year we got a lot of it. Here's a short vid from today's session in Lauttasaari. It's Ile here choosing the white lines.

And here's VP posing in the pic below.

Come saturday!

Cocomotion hits town before Santa!

Yay! It's Cocomotion time again, just to get it out of the way before christmas - 19th december at Nolla BAr. This time i'll have the mighty Ais-T (from the Music People radio show & blog, Bassoradio etc) joining me behind the decks, providing you with all things smooth - be it old or new disco, balearic pop gems, blissed out epic house music or the always so popular AOR evergreens. Come ya'll!

Gringos were locos back in '88

Well, I was there.

I have later realized that Gringos Locos could have been a pretty good AOR band, if they didn't have so many bluesy riffs. And if they had dropped that weird cowboy-look. I mean, it never was cool to wear cowboy boots with your jeans tucked into them, and those belts with bullets - don't get me started.

Pics of us monkeying around in the studio

Our good buddy Matti Tanskanen took some funny pics of us at the studio (unfortunately Jussi was absent. We'll photoshop him there later).
