B-eat-z fri 2.3 with DJ Mekaanikko & Ken-Guru March b-eat-z is a going-away party for our rezident DJ Ken-Guru who is, unfourtenately, leaving us by the end of march. (Good luck with work in the Netherlands!) Ken-Gu will be joined on stage by DJ Mekaanikko (a first-timer in Oulu). Helsinki based DJ has spun records since '94, combining and mixing genres in his unique style. DJ Mekaanikko (Bassoradio) A man behind the decks on stage and in the airwaves (Rytmisektori @ Bassoradio), and promoter of his own club night. Juuso Koponen a.k.a Mekaanikko is a versatile DJ wit a variety of different genres of dance/electronica. He is best known for mastering deeper technoand house, old d'n'b and abstract hip hop. At the moment his weekly spot in Bassoradio (Rytmisektori), his Red Hot club, residence @ Hallmark Lounge and a demanding day job as graphic designer keep him busy but he always tries to find new and interesting things to try... and now he's paying a long overdue visit in Oulu.

My real name is Jari Tolkkinen. I've been playing records since 1997 and I'm still going strong. From the first gig that I played my main motivation has been love for good music and desire to share quality electronic music with the party goers. In a way I like to think my dj'ing as educating people about new music. I also try to keep an open mind for new influences since it helps me renew and develop my sound. Styles that I like to play range from deep house to driving detroit techno, from slamming electro to tech house and everything between. http://www.ken-guru.net/ Date 02.03.2007 Time 22-04 Agelimit 19 Place 45 Special, Saaristonkatu 12, Oulu Tickets 5 eur, 4 eur students
