European Capitals of Culture invite people to the club party in Tallinn

European Capitals of Culture Tallinn and Turku will present this Friday, 11 March a club party in Tallinn’s F-Hoone. Night Moves will bring to the stage the most exciting DJs and VJs from Estonia and Finland. The event is part of the Night Moves Turku 2011 tour and the Tallinn 2011 club series Club 2011.

Turku has an extensive background in being the hub of electronic music in Finland - since the experiments of the underground movement of the 60’s to Finland´s first ware house raves in the late 80’s, and up to today’s vibrant, constantly developing club scene.

This Friday, 11 March also Estonians can be part of this success story as Turku will present in Tallinn’s F-Hoone some of the best Finnish club music: Jori Hulkkonen (live), DJ Ionik and VJ Beige/Harmaa.

Jori Hulkkonen has been hailed as "the most underrated producer in the world" and "living legend of electronic composition". Since the debut twelve-inch in 1993, Hulkkonen has released ten albums. Furthermore, Hulkkonen is undoubtedly one of Finland's most accomplished and active DJ's, heard both in clubs and on radio waves.

Turku's DJ Ionik has been a mainstay on the Finnish club music scene for years, but has just recently gained international acclaim through his labels Traveller Records and Kojak Giant Sounds. The latter particularly has gained a cult of followers among disco and dance music enthusiasts.

The VJ team Beige/Harmaa (Antti Hietaniemi and Sami Smith) have provided visuals for a huge bunch of club nights and festivals. Among other events, a collaboration tour with the leading Finnish illustration agency Pekka took place in China in late 2010.

The Finnish club music stars will be supported in the F-Hoone by Mustad Noodid (live), Plektrum DJ-s Alari Orav and Jaagup Jalakas and VJ Propaganda.

Club hopping together again

Already in June 2010, the Night Moves club in Helsinki hosted Tallinn's best talent of electronic beat along with top Finnish club acts. Turku 2011 has organized together with Turku Modern a series of club events to showcase contemporary Finnish club music, and to promote the European Cultural Capital Year. The Night Moves – Club Hopping with Turku 2011 tour kicked off at Shanghai World Expo in May 2010, and during the year clubbers were hopping in Helsinki, Turku, London, Stockholm, Tampere and Paris.

The Night Moves tour culminates in Tallinn this Friday as the two capitals of culture collaborate again to meet in F-Hoone's jointly produced club event, another night of throbbing electronic galore not to be missed.

Night Moves club party in Tallinn is produced by Turku 2011 and Tallinn 2011 in collaboration with Turku Modern and Plektrum Festival. It is also part of the Club 2011 series of Tallinn 2011 Programme.

The party in F-Hoone (Telliskivi 60) will start on Friday, 11 March at 23.00 and last till morning!
