I love Technics because they feel less like equipment and more like an extension of me. When I’m mixing on a pair of 1210s, everything becomes intuitive; the weight of the platter, the resistance of the pitch fader, the subtle response to even the smallest touch. There’s an honesty to Technics: they give back exactly what you put in, which lets me communicate emotion in the most direct, physical way possible.

They’re also the only decks I fully trust. They’re stable, reliable, and built to last, so I can focus completely on the flow of the music. For me, vinyl mixing is a ritual, and Technics are the medium that makes that ritual feel grounded, expressive, and alive.

“I’m originally from Finland, but I really grew up on the dancefloors of London and Berlin. Those cities shaped me more than anything else — they taught me what raw energy, connection, and freedom on a dancefloor can feel like, and that spirit is what I try to bring into every set.

My record collection spans all kinds of genres, but in a club, it’s most often techno that speaks to me. It taps into something primal, something instinctive, and I love inviting the crowd into that space with me. My sets move through different eras and shades of techno — hypnotic, tribal, driving — all with the intention of reaching that moment where body and mind sync into one flow.

Vinyl isn’t just a format for me; it’s a lifelong passion that has shaped who I am, both as an artist and as a person. It’s the most natural way for me to express emotion without filters.

To expand that vision, I launched my vinyl label KUJE Records, focusing on raw, driving club techno. In 2025, my event series Rhythm Rituals hosted its first two nights, and releasing my debut track on SEVEN marked another milestone. I’m really looking forward to showcasing more projects in the upcoming months that bring together my love for DJing, production, and creating spaces and experiences for like-minded people who dare to be themselves by resisting being programmed by society.”
