YDINTALVIPUUTARHA season 4

Every Thrusday night, all June, July and August, you will be able to catch Jori spinning at Aula in the capital of Finland, Turku, starting at 9pm. But don't expect the usual selection of dancefloor favourites... it's the 4th year already for this very special summer residency and the idea is to open the vaults of Jori's recordcollection and enjoy another perspective. Music ranging from Stockhausen to Suede, Tones On tail to Nine Inch Nails... you get the idea. Come with an open mind only.

ERRARE MACHINALE EST is out

My new album ERRARE MACHINALE EST is out now through F communications / PIAS. On vocal duties you will find Justine Electra, John Foxx, Ebb, Jimi Tenor, Jerry Valuri, Nick Triani and Ernesto. Check out my myspace for audiosamples.

It is available in three formats:
as digital download (iTunes, Beatport...),
as a limited edition Finland-only CD (however if you are located outside FInland but still want the CD check out recordstores such as recordshopx, stupido or 8raita who are happy to supply you with a copy),
and naturally as a very beautiful DLP vinyl which -as usual -will be slightly delayed, and hit the stores worldwide on april 7th.

NOTE!!! The limited edition Finnish CD is missing a track/the sleeve has a bonus track not found on the CD, whichever way you want to see it.
"Tullihenkil�" (Customs Person) is not on the actual CD. This is a mistake by the distributor PIAS. To compensate, downloading is enabled on myspace, both on my and F communications sites, or get a 320kbs mp3 from here.
I am very sorry -and upset - about this, please accept my most sincere apologies.

Jori

2008

2008 marks the 20th anniversary of my first productions, 15th anniversary of my first 12" release and 10th anniversary of my radioshow. Wahey!

---------------------------------------------------

new. New. New! NEW!!

2007 has been an amazing year with so many new directions, projects and collaborations, I'm not sure where to begin. Here's a few things you should be aware though

-I'm very proud to announce that JOHN FOXX -with whom I already worked with on my previous album Dualizm - features on the first single taken from my forthcoming album. NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE will be out on 12" and digital in March. You can hear the radio/blogedit NOW at myspace or check out the video here



-the second 12" in the FENNO-BARON series on Turbo recordings is out now. Titled RAVE 2.0, and it features the anthemic CROWD GET READY TO BE JAMMED -track that has left people devastated on the floors in the past few months with the select few DJs who've actually had the chance to play it out. Consider yourselves warned.


-Kebacid2: Return of the Falefalacid EP, an acid collaboration with Jesper Dahlbäck is out now on Blank LTD


-an exclusive DISCEMI (aka Jori with Tuomas Salmela) track WHEN MIKA SHOT PUTS is out on Dessous recordings.

-in 2007 I also built a new studio, alppIVhouz. See more here


-the Acid Symphony Orchestra -documentary will be released soon. It captures the very essence of what happened in August 2007 in Finland: Jori Hulkkonen conducting his Orchestra (featuring Jesper Dahlbäck, Acid Kings, Tin Man, Jussi-Pekka and many more) performing on ten Roland TB-303's and one TR-808. Watch this space for more info.

YleX back online

Since September 1998 Jori has been doing his radioshows for the national Finnish broadcasting company YLE first on the RadioMafia channel, currently known as YleX. Due to copyright issues the channel has been offline for years, but now the problems have been sorted out and we're back on the web. Every odd week (as opposed to even weeks) on Tuesdays you can check the 60 minute show live here at 22.00 CET. Alternatively, the show is available on demand for one week after the premier here. Enjoy.

Processory

The good response for the track "Lo-Fiction" on Jori's 2005 album Dualizm was the catalyst that resulted collaborator Jerry Valuri and Jori to record a full album on the same principle. They call themselves Processory and the selftitled debut album will be released on February 14th 2007.
