Biography
Orkidea and his friends started organizing illegal raves in the squat houses of Helsinki in early 90s. Most bizarre experience must have been DJing for Jean-Paul Galtier and Helena Christensen at a Berlin fetish club Kit Kat after their first ever Berlin show. Most flashy ones were entertaining the rich & famous of Hong Kong or Russia while warming up for Chemical Brothers, Paul van Dyk or Underworld. He's DJ'd Tresor in Berlin, Pacha in Ibiza, Panama in Amsterdam and CODE in Tokyo.
His recording career started in 1998 with Slusnik Luna’s Nicklas Renqvist. ‘Unity’ was signed to british Steelfish label and found it’s way to Gatecrasher and Renaissance compilations. Sasha and Oakenfold opened their Essential Mixes with it and Pete Tong played it on BBC Radio 1. Gigs with DJ Tiesto lead into signing to his Black Hole label while other releases include ‘Embrace’ on Five AM, ‘Beautiful’ on Sential (finnish national singles chart #1) and the Andy Moor collab ‘YearZero’ on Andy’s AVA label. Remixes include Aalto’s ‘Rush’ made together with Super8, Stage One remix made for Hooj Choons and more recently Way Out West’s Killa which started out as a bootleg.
Together with his friends, they have run Club Unity for over ten years, promoted Renaissance’s events in Helsinki and organized events called “Pacifique” for almost 3000 people in a water park, had fun at 16 hour Sunday clubbing sessions at DTM and brought Jose Padilla to Finland. They have organised events on boats, in parks, on ice-skating rinks and have also gone on a worldwide tour of Finland using a Helsinki city municipal bus. To Orkidea electronic music and club culture has always been about open-mindness, unity amongst people and pushing the musical boundaries forward, whether it’s ambient concert in a park or full on rave in warehouse. Uniting the sounds, the minds, the people…
Red sets - I don't have
Yellow sets - In my collection but not uploaded
Green sets - Available to download (click title)
I'll upload some sets as and when I can. Please let me know if you find any dead links to sets. I've made many of these sets available on themixingbowl for those who don't mind torrents.
If you can help with any of the tracklists, tune ID's or have recordings I haven't, please post them here and I'll update the list.
Many of these tracklists I've found on forums, notably here on Tranceaddict, Platinum and Klubitus. Others I've ID'd with some assistance, notably from Jivemaster and GrimReaper. My thanks to everyone who's contributed.
