Dj Ken-Guru featuring Olzu

Dj Ken-guru ja Olzu (Olli Tuomainen) make their first big appearance at a club at B-eat-z club. The dynamic duo was founded in march 2003 when the guys sat down to think how they could liven up Dj Ken-Guru's dj-set.

It took a few test rehearsals and brainstorms to find the perfect harmony within the deepest of house and banged up techno mixed up with live saxophone/flute... not forgetting other instruments.

"In a live situation, we aim to go with the flow... trying to sense the vibes from the dancefloor." - Dj Ken-Guru.

Apart from being a live sax player, he has given his warm and unique sax sound to various different music projects and he has done live sessions with artists like Vladislav Delay.

"I've done so much stuff that I can't remember all of it. I've composed music for movies, documentary films, done backgrounds for various artists etc... you name it and I've done it." One of his latest composing projects has been the music for the documentary film "Huutajat" (Screaming men).
Dj Teemu P

DJ Teemu P started DJing in the mid 90's after a decade of just listening to electronic music in its different forms. In the beginning his style consisted mostly of US house music, but as the time passed new styles of electronic music started to appear in his sets. Different forms of house as well as techno. His mixing style is at the same time crowd friendly and challenging. DJ needs to entertain and educate, but first and foremost to enjoy the music himself.

The love of different styles of music that has soul and funk has taken over even though house music is still the dominant form. In 2002 he was voted the second best DJ in Northern Finland by the readers of the Nordic Techno Forum.
Dj M

Dj M (Maciej Makowiecki) first got bitten by an electronic music bug in mid 90's after hearing Orbital's Snivilisation album at some friends' homeparty. His record bag started filling up with goodies and as a natural extension to his record collecting, he started organizing parties... on hobby basis that is. At those days he was heavily influenced by the likes of artists like LTJ Bukem, Big Bud, Seba, Dj Krush and legendary Curtis Mayfield. His latest source of inspiration comes from reggae/dancehall sounds and his very own music project. Expect to hear from that session later this year.

According to Mr M himself, his sets consist mainly of drum'n'bass and other interesting broken beats, and he says he aims to read the punters' minds on the dancefloor in order make the right kinda connection with the party possé.
