Joonas Hahmo

Hi all,



It's been a while since I wrote anything here, really sorry about that! I've been extremely busy for the last few months, I mean for real. For some of you who already know my latest figures, the reason is obvious. This Monday (5.4) I finally launched my very own independent label "Hahmo Recordings" together with my friend and a music-industry heavy-weight Elef Tsiroudis. First release is my own EP "Brainflush / Now Or Never" (preview on player). It is now exclusively out on Beatport and key DJ support coming from likes Above & Beyond and Andy Moor. This is just the beginning, we are aiming to put new releases out every 1,5 - 2 months. So a lot of things happening right now. Can't say more than STAY TUNED, I'm on fire! :)



Yours truly,

If you don’t know much about Finland, one thing you should know about is Joonas Hahmo. At just 26 years old, Joonas has become one of Finland’s hottest electronic music exporters! In 2004, Joonas’s first productions were collaborations under the successful trance aliases “Alt+F4” and “Avanto”. Instant recognition was received with a signing and release to the progressive trance superlabel Anjunabeats.



It wasn’t until 2006 that Joonas began producing under his own name which enabled his talents to be thoroughly exploited. His first solo release was “The Fusion” launched on AVA Recordings. The track was playlisted on world renowned radio shows ‘A State Of Trance’, ‘Global DJ Broadcast’ and ‘Trance Around The World’. To put the icing on the cake, Markus Schulz included the Hawk remix of “The Fusion” on his Ibiza 2006 summer compilation.



After producing such a solid debut release, the success fueled him even more. Over the coming years, Joonas nurtured his production skills. “Unique”, “Fresh” and “Electrifying” are the three main words which Joonas now uses to describe his work. He has uniquely established his own distinctive crossover style by merging together sounds from multiple genres such as House, Electro, Trance and Progressive. From the first bar to the last beat of his productions, his sound is definitive!



In autumn 2008 Joonas released yet another impressive track named “Cocktail Bar” and Anjunabeats’s sister label Anjunadeep signed it up straight away. For a piano house track it had an impressive list of trance DJ’s supporting it: ‘Tiësto’, ‘Armin van Buuren’, ‘Paul van Dyk’ and ‘Above & Beyond’. The track merited a listing on the highly acclaimed “Ministry of Sound - Clubber's Guide 2009” and “Anjunabeats Volume 6” compilations.



Just one look at Joonas’s impressive list of past gigs confirms his rising popularity. From ‘ram-packed’ dancefloors in Russia to chic clubs in France, Joonas has also left his mark in Germany, Slovakia, Ukraine, Czech-Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and many more. Joonas's ability to merge various genres has made him a versatile trademark DJ name.



2009 is set to be another successful year as Joonas continuously seeks new and exciting ideas. A DJ and producer who is always on the cutting edge of electronic music. Through his hard work and natural talent you can expect only the best from this Finnish maestro Joonas Hahmo!
