So, you have two gigs this year! How should one decide which to see?

One should see both! Absolutely both! Let me explain why:

Last year, while listening to Procs' daytime set at the Vortex stage, I started playing with an idea: "what kind of music would I like to hear at Vortex during the day?" A few months later, after releasing my previous album "Owl Nebula" (2024), I felt super inspired and began writing my next album ? which will be out on October 23rd this year.

I kinda forgot about the "daytime Vortex music" idea for a while. But this spring, as the album started to take shape, I realized ? this is exactly the kind of music I'd love to hear there during the day at Vortex stage. So that's what I'll do: I'll play one hour of brand-new material, never played anywhere else before. It'll be the world premiere of my next album. And actually, I'll also sneak in one fresh track I made after finishing the album, lol. Catch it at the Vortex stage on Saturday at 15:30

The ASTEROID gig (Saturday at midnight) will be a bit more trancey and ravey than my recent sets in Asteroid ? classic tracks and a few surprises sprinkled in. Bring your glowsticks I promise you will have big smile and sweaty armpits after...

The Suomisaundi program on the Asteroid stage is packed with special treats this year. Any recommendations or personal favorites ? and why?

Yes! They just announced that Tampere-based PYSTYYN KUOLLEET HIPIT will play at the Asteroid stage on Friday ? it's awesome, go check them out! Also Okta and Puoskari are my long time favourites you shouldn't miss.

Also, my personal favorite of the whole festival is EGEBAMYASI, a Scottish 303/acid pioneer and total legend, who's playing at the Gravity stage on Friday.

Thank you, Pavel Svimba! See you at Vortex stage on Saturday 15:30-16:30 and Asteroid stage 00:00-01:30.
