DJ Orkidea

It’s been amazing fifteen years for DJ Orkidea since he started in

finnish illegal underground rave scene in the early 90s. DJing for

Jean-Paul Gartier and Helen Christensen at a Berlin fetish club,

entertaining the very rich and famous of Russia or Hong Kong,

warming up for Chemical Brothers, Paul van Dyk, Underworld

and The Prodigy, being signed to DJ Tiesto’s record label,

touring the world (so far in 20 countires) and rocking some of

world’s most legendary venues like Tresor in Berlin or Pacha in

Ibiza as well as more exotic places from Cairo to Tokyo are just

part of the story.



Orkidea has been voted numerous times as Scandinavia’s and

Finland’s 1 DJ, been featured in DJ Mag’s Top 200 list and his

music has been supported by everybody from Pete Tong to

Sasha & Oakenfold who both opened their BBC 1 Essential Mix

sets with his ‘Unity’ single back in 1999. His productions have

been featured in numerous movies, TV-advertisements and on

Ministry of Sound, Gatecrasher, A State of Trance and

Renaissance CD compilations while his ‘Beautiful’ single was

played for 12 weeks at BBC Radio 1 in 2006.



He has had finnish national single chart 1 position and

numerous Top 20 singles, made remixes for legendary labels

like Anjunabeats and Hooj Choons, remixed Way Out West,

Tilt and Tiesto, promoted british superclub Renaissance’s

worldwide events while his own Unity nights have sold out in

just 20 minutes on a Monday morning. So it seems that there

is need for quality sets of electronic music, entertaining and

educating, from ambient and chill-out through proggy &

electronic house to full on ravey trance. To Orkidea electronic

music has been always been about being openminded and

pushing things forward. Uniting the sounds, the minds, the

people…
