The smaller your hometown is, the more dedication it takes to run a successful club night, especially if it’s about marginal dance music. K0ntro in Kuopio is a textbook example of a small organization running events with some big heart. ❤️ 1) They have attention to detail - techno event in a pitch black theatre space in a wooden building and top-notch light programming. Doesn’t need much else. ⬛️ 2) They understand the nuances of marketing. You can’t push underground event in a same way you would market a regular club night. 💹 3) Continuation. You can’t organise one event a year and expect everyone to come. Smaller monthly events and a couple of bigger ones a year will do the trick. 🔜 4) 100% thought-out tech-setup. Four decks, mixer set to exactly correct height and perfect monitoring is just what I mentioned - attention to detail. ⚙️ 5) Tons of hard work. The smaller your hometown, the more it takes to build the culture of regular clubbing from the scratch. But once it’s there, it’s just magical. ⚒ To put it short, K0ntro is one of the most dedicated and professional electronic music communities out there. Getting that open-minded crowd in Finland is rare and should never be taken for granted. You can’t build that kind of open-mindedness and support by making bulk low-bar EDM events. It happens with risk taking, vision and genuine love to the culture. ✌️ Getting to play a three hour set in an event like that was a treat. And getting to try out a laaaarge variety of music with a proper response was something that doesn’t happen (at least to me) too often in Helsinki. Going from jacking techno to oldskool electro, booty house, hypnotic tools and finally to some proper distorted nosebleed rave in three hours was one hell of a ride. Thanks for coming along! 🙏 P.S. The video proves the point - the weirder it got, the better it got! 😜 #k0ntro #kuopio #techno #orion #absenceoffacts @absenceoffacts @k0ntro

Täytyy näin julkisesti kiittää K0ntroa sekä varsinkin Juskaa. Se energia mikä dekkien takana oli on jotain mitä ei voi järjellä selittää. Mukava huomata kuinka myös dj voi elää TÄYSILLÄ soittamansa musiikin kanssa. 👌💪 (kolme tuntia... 👀😅)
