Feeling Good dammit!
...especially after witnessing another great live gig by the Five Corners
Quintet at the Umo Jazz House, Helsinki, Finland. I wish you'd all been
there to hear the drummer, Teppo 'Teddy Rok' Makynen, turning 'The Devil
Kicks' single from out of the blue into monstrous batucada heaven!! The
blue then probably appeared on my face from subconsciously holding my
breath during this beats galore. OH mi god!
You can spot Teppo the 'Teddy Rok' adding breaks 'n' beats plus that
extra batucada feeling on top and side of the funky records played at
the Wahoo! on the 21st of February. Many thanks for everyone partying at
the Wahoo! last Saturday - what an incredible night that was!! I'm still
smiling! Whole lotta soulll at the speakers.
-> selected playlists from that night in the next newsletter...
27th of this month will the grand opening of Club Wahoo! in Tallinn,
Estonia. This will be the first in a series of great events featuring us
the Wahoo! residents, the local heroes of the Super Sounds crew and the
foreign guest djs such as Mad Mats, Dom Servini etc. Check the 'left of
helsinki' chart below for the latest bits under the Finnish needle. More
noodles down below in the form of bigger than big tunes from the recent
history on the Wahoo! floor.
And btw, go listen Sampsa's 'Revival II' mix still at the:
