First of all it’s a great pleasure to welcome you to Passion!....

Where exactly are you guys from??
Latitude: N 60º 12.141', Longitude: E 025º 09.043' (read: Helsinki, Finland) – are these coordinates close enough ? hahah

Have you ever heard of Passion before you got the call to come and showcase your music genius talent to us?
Yes – and only good things about it – we can’t wait to be there. Actually Miika has already been there with his Aalto project together with Paavo from Above & Beyond but this was many years ago… I’m sure the venue and the crowd is even better these days.

How did you guys meet? A nightclub? Do you live close together? A Golf Course? Haha! Or maybe somewhere else?
At the club – yes, then we went to after parties after party and next weekend it happened all over again – you know how it is hahah. Around 2002 Tab moved to same studio where Miika was already working. And few years later we start to work together… Now we even live quite close together… we both are married – luckily with our wife’s – not together ?

For those who don’t know.. how long have you been releasing music? And What are the main labels your associated with...?.
At the moment we release music from UK based label Anjunabeats. Our first release together was ‘First Aid’ on 2005 followed by ‘Helsinki Scorchin’. But before that Miika has been releasing records close to 15 years and Tab from 2002.

What was the ‘HIT’ that put you guys on the map? A personal favourite of mine was ‘Helsinki Schorchin’ !!!
Have to be ‘Helsinki Scorchin’, ‘Needs to Feel’ and more recently ‘Elektra’. We have been lucky to do also couple remix’s for Paul van Dyk, Oceanlab and Ferry Corsten to name a few. Atm we are really looking forward for our next release ‘Irufushi’ – hope people will like that too.

What do you think about the uk clubscene? Does it differ from your country?
Its always wicked to see how people are into the music – they really love to go out to clubs.
Here in Finland the club scene is smaller than in UK but think its as good… Maybe in the UK people are more fanatic – and I don’t see that a bad thing ?

We hear that you are working on a new album… can you fill us in anymore on this ?
Its on progress – slowly but its coming… we hope.

Do you have any embarrassing DJ moments?.. be brave! Haha
On vinyl time it must be when you took the needle up from the record that was playing – its been awhile when we took the wrong CD out hahaha But I think every one has been doing that for at least once – luckily you can lock the CD now days

What are the big tunes in your box at the minute?
Andy Moor & Lange - Stadium Four (Original Mix)
Super8 & Tab - Irufushi (Original Mix)
Paul Van Dyk - Home (Wippenberg Remix)
Nitrous Oxide - Aurora (Sunny Lax Remix)
Ferry Tayle & Static Blue - L'Acrobat (Original Mix)
Tu Casa - Betelgeuse (Original Mix)

Do you have any other hobbies aswell as your DJing? Or does that take up most of your time?
We like a lot knitting, going to poetry classes, choir singing and most recently we found linedancing!!! if we have sometime from these hobbies we go to studio and DJing.

If you had a super power... what would it be...?? ?
Teleportation - like in star trek – that would save a lot of time and we could do even more gigs around the world! hahahha

Finally…. Thankyou for your time…. We look forward to welcoming you back to Passion on September 12th with open arms…… Genix

Thanks to you – see you guys on the dance floor!
