Outdated info! Check: Enough of Monday – here’s some Saturday: Concussion @ Laterna 16.10.2010
Just in: big tingzz happening on September 18th. The second Concussion party will be held on that date in Tampere. We are going to follow the same well-proved formula as in the last party, so it’s going to be dubstep vs. drum & bass. Interesting acts coming, be sure to stay tuned for updates!
Time to continue what M-za started two weeks ago, this time with dnb flavours. If last monday mix was moody, this one is more on the cheery side. A mix that I downloaded for a bus journey from Tampere to Helsinki when going to Tallin for our company’s summer party. For me the mix was a really positive find as it is somewhat similar to what I always try to achieve in my mixes: A nice journey into the world of dnb with nice tracks and smooth, nearly seamless blends. The mix I’m talking about here is by Sparx and it is entitled ‘Seamless Mix’ (not the most innovative name for the set, but the contents well make up for it. You can grab the mix from Dogs on Acid forum, or download it straight from Mediafire.
Tracklist:
01. Enter Shikari – Juggernauts (Nero remix)
02. Brookes Brothers vs Futurebound – Dawn Treader
03. Imogen Heap – Headlock (High Contrast full remix)

19. High Contrast – Made It Last Night
Interesting things happening later today, as the Concussionists will be serving music to crowds with quite a wide spectrum. I will be taking care of the darker stuff at Kolina-Produktio: Prison Break -party that is held at Vastavirta-klubi here in Tampere. Will be spinning only the darkest dnb tracks from my collection. Needless to say, it’s going to be heavy!
At the same time M-za will be hosting the opening event of his brand new “Funkin’ Up Your Wednesday” club at 1bar, downtown Tampere. As you can tell from the name, the atmosphere there is going to be much lighter and more laid back. The club is one of a kind as it is the first and only nu funk club in Finland!
If you are a friend of proper good music, you don’t want to miss these two! See you on the spot!
I’m going to start a new thing at this blog right from this monday. I’m gonna post every monday when we do not have Concussion show @ Nubreaks.com one mixtape and one tune for your listening pleasure to fill up the cap between the radio shows.
I’m gonna start this thing ofcourse with stuff from Finland. The tune and the mix are really moody and sometimes even dark. The TUNE of the week is pure dubstep-gold and comes ofcourse from our trusted producer friends from Tampere – Vesicle. Their brand new track called “We are Lost” just made my monday. The tune got amazing atmosphere made by nice female lyrics, chill guitar samples and ofcourse Vesicles trademark “mörköläskibasso” as Stinks put it (meaning something like fat-spooky-bass“) . We are Lost is going to be realeased from Paradise Lost in near future. Gotta say that this one is going to be played at next weeks Concusssion dubstep special

The MIX of the week is also from Finland. But the thing about it is that not only the DJ is from Finland but also all the tracks are from Finland. This drum’n'bass mix is also really moody and dark. I have been listening it a lot lately. The mix contains 10 great tracks from finnish producer called Furi Anga. You may have heard his tracks for example at finnish extreme travelling show Madventures. If you are interested about the soundtracks go and check out this page. The mix is made by DJ Wispy (who btw. was guest at Concussion show few months ago). I think that the tags what Furi Anga has made at his soundcloud will give you the best picture about what you gonna get.

So here you are, hope you will enjoy! Remember also to tune in on next weeks monday at seven o’clock as usually.
As it has been blogged in here earlier, one member of our crew, Stinks, has been infiltrating the breakbeat scene in Hong Kong, and doing a rather fine job at it too! He’s been representing our crew successfully there by entertaining the crowds with his dubsteps at local parties. In addition to all this, he also offered a nice opportunity to the other members of Concussion to promote our common cause. This opportunity was to make a guest mix for Asia’s biggest dnb podcast: the Kongkast.
I (elysion) took up the challenge and after two months of planning, recording, mashing up etc. the Kongkast episode #116 was ready! The mix features an insane amount of energy in the form of over 49 minutes of dnb and dubstep floorfillers. Check out the post at Kongrete Bass’ blog at: http://kongkretebass.com/kkblog/?p=1874 and grab the mix there. I myself am quite pleased with the outcome (which is quite unusual for me 
), hope it pleases you too!
Keeping a radio show fresh and exciting for a long period of time is quite a challenging task, and requires quite much thought and effort. Lately we have been putting our heads together trying to solve this issue with our show on NuBreaks. All kinds of breakbeats, be that drum & bass, breakbeat or dubstep are our passion, but we understand that this is not the case for everyone. Thus we have decided to divide the show into separate drum & bass and dubstep slots. With this change we also decided that we would also separate the responsibilities for filling these slots between me (elysion) and M-za. This way we have more time to prepare the shows and make them even more entertaining for all you. So from now on, the first show of the month will be focused on dubstep and the second on dnb.

One of my mates held a birthday party and I was lucky enough to get invited. The especially nice thing about this was that the guy lived in London and was kind enough to accommodate me and a couple of other blokes at his flat. While preparing for the trip I went through the event listings of the big night clubs in London such as Herbal, Mass, Fabric, Matter etc. At first I got quite excited when noticing that there would be a FWD party at Matter and was already quite pleased about the date my mate had selected for the party. Luckily I was patient enough to check the other venues as well, and noticed that an event at Fabric quite much crushed all the other options at least in my amount-of-interest-scale. The event was called “Playaz Bank Holiday Special” and boy did it have a nice line up! A nice selection of some of the biggest names in the scene such as Andy C, Hazard, Ed Rush, SpectraSoul etc. etc. were on the list. Went to fabric’s site in a flash, booked a ticket from there and a few moments later had a nice e-ticket in my gmail.
I just listened the last show for making the tracklist. Damn! I like it – a lot. So I decided to blog about it but time is running short. So that’s why here’s just a “Concussion picture” from last friday, the great show what I was about to blog about and the tracklist of the show…
We were playing music with elysion last friday...
... and here's the "Concussion result".
Concussion show Mon Apr 12 2010 @ NuBreaks.com
tracklist:
BoH!
Spinni’s Splendid! BASS was a incredible rockin’ party last saturday. elysion played such an amazing set that there is just one word to describe it:
CONCUSSION!
But today is a “Concussion-monday” so it’s time to leave the last weekend dusts behind, clean up your ears and tune in to nubreaks.com when clock hits 19 ( 7 pm GMT) because then we are dropping once again the mighty Concussion show! Tonight’s gonna be ruff and tuff but also chill and deep. elysion said that he’s gonna go with some chiller dubstep and deeper jungle than usually. I in other hand…. well lets see 
.
I saw boys from Vesicle on saturday and they dropped me some new banging tunes! I also promised in the last show to play some new Skream as well as some other dubstep treats with amen drums etc. this time.
On the same night when elysion is playing in Finland at “Splendid! Bass” (see previous post for details), there is also some really heavy dubstep action in Hong Kong.
