On Thursday 30th of June, I’ll be a part of Scandinavia In The Mix special program on respected internet trance radio Afterhours.fm.

I have the honor to open the day with my set. As you can see from the poster attached the line-up for the night is really a scandinavian all-star combo.

I hope you’ll catch my set live!

It’s been a while since I’ve been at DJ gig, that means one thing. I have bag full off new material to play to the crowd.

I’ve been really busy with the label and my new productions lately, so there will be some yet unheard tracks to be played, but also loads of great tunes of 2011.

June 4th is also the day when schools end in Finland and loads of students graduate, so the mood is set real high from the early beats that night.

I’m playing the peak time set at the main stage. Be there, and be amazed.

Lost Language’s current A&R Tasadi asked me to to take part in his upcoming mixing compilation which includes only new unreleased tracks. I had this one track about to be finished which didn’t quite fit to the direction I was heading with my current sound. I decided to take it more towards my Evil Twin alias, and it ended up to be collab between me and myself. Mental, I know and it was ment to be too.

Here’s how the label is pitching the release.

Lost Language’s latest compilation album stems from US trance master Tasadi. For the past year he has scouted exclusive tracks from some of the hottest global producers and seamlessly mixed them into his latest CD called ‘Ascension’.

Ascension’s proceedings start with Mexico’s trance talent Ivan Mateluna in a symphonic introduction named ‘Eden’ to start the heaven bound journey. Following up that ethereal opening is one of Sedna’s top talents, Segery Tkachev drawing you in with deep basses, and spiraling melodies in his latest production ‘The Untold Story of Mountain Spring’. International super producer Andy Moor’s chunky remix of ‘Disappear Here’ by Hybrid soon follows to amp the tone up a dimension.

Consistently releasing massive tunes in the past, next up comes veteran Russian talent Vadim Zhukov with ‘Follow Me’ in a wicked remix by Nhato. Nhato, one of Japan’s explosive new and up & coming producers, then teams up with Tasadi himself to do an explosive, FX filled remix of legendary trance team Tilt’s new production ‘No Other Day’. Things take a dreamy turn for a bit, and guitars mix with lush breakdowns in Adymus’ remix of ‘Silk Road’ by Michael Badal. ‘2000 Days Ago’, a surefire dance floor rocker by Tkachev (a name you will be surely be hearing more often) is next blended into the journey.

Ville Lope gets into the act with progressive grooves and catchy riffs in his new track ‘Ninja’. Guaranteed to put smiles on any classic trance fans face, the Tiesto featured ‘Shangri-La’ by Robbie Nelson gets a big progressive interpretation by Dj Mog & Angus Gibbins. Next, Russian producer Rinat Shabanov releases his new track ‘Touch’ in a Dmitry Bessonov Remix that combines bouncy basses with a laid back piano that transcends you to another place.

Tasadi’s own composition featuring Aurielle ‘We Are Human’ gets a trance revamp from Ivan Mateluna. Exitstone continues to impress the trance scene with old school rolling basslines along with haunting &euphoric melodies in ‘Supergreen’. Persian based Masoud (Dj MaSound) provides us his latest bomb ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ with slick, tight beats and big riffs in the break. Trance trio Saint X blows the roof off with a peak-time trance monster ‘Lifestream’, and Vadim Zhukov wraps things up with perfect rising leads on a tribal style beat in ‘Ninety Nine’.

The ring master Tasadi along with his production and remix swat team debut some exclusive progressive and trance bombs in perfectly welded electronic series with the first being ‘Ascension 001: The Awakening’, a massive package no enthusiast should miss!

The release date is 13th June 2011 but you can listen to the track already via the Soundcloud player below.

Ville Lope vs Evil Twin – Ninja [Lost Language] by villelope

The Big League is one of the clubbiest tracks I’ve done so far. The track is pretty straight forward, leaving the hooky arpeggio playing throughout the track. I tried to combine the elements used by the big name producers in trance scene at the moment with my own sounds and tricks.

I’d love to hear your comments if I succeeded in this.

Below is the text the label wrote about the track.

Ville Lope is a familiar name to every progressive DJ out there. As the Label manager of Subtraxx, In-demand producer and DJ Ville is definitely one of the busiest mans in the business.

“The Big League” is not just average trance track, it’s a statement for the trance scene that he’s here to stay. It’s time to step up to the big league.

With trademark-like continuous hooky arpeggio, rock-influenced snare and beautiful breakdown this is a yet another stellar track that won’t leave the track floor empty for sure.

Just after his first EP released on Subtraxx, french Arkia has already compared to BT. His remix is fresh for sure, combining even pop/rock -influences to something that is definitely dubbed as progressive.

This saturday is my last gig of the year. I’ve been concentrating on the studio and label work for the past months, so I have tons of previously unplayed tracks I can’t wait to road test.

There’s lots of fresh music coming in early 2011 from Subtraxx and the old/new sublabels Nemesis & Camouflage. It’s your best change to hear new tracks from artists like Tommy Baynen & Tom Fall by coming to the gig on saturday.

I’ll be using new technology at the gig too. This will be the first time I’m playing on Pioneer CDJ-2000’s, and I’m most likely playing my set from SD-cards instead of CDs. I’m gradually swithing to digital Djing, and I’m testing various platforms and controllers to find the right solution to me.

To keep up with my experiences and tests follow me on Facebook and Twitter where I’m definitely more active.

Ville Lope should be a familiar name to every progressive DJ out there. He’s a Finnish DJ, producer and label manager of Subtraxx. Ville is one of the renowned few who have striven to keep Finland’s intimate electronic music stature securely on the world map.
He has competently crafted his sound into both the Scandinavian and European clubbing scenes. “It’s In Her Eyes” is a great example of his skills. Beautiful melodic progressive trancer with memorable vocal hook and lead piano which stick into one’s head for quite some time.
The remix work is done by one of best hidden finnish talents. Janne Nygård, known for his Zage and Lume aliases, has been quiet for a long period of time. Now he is put back to the scene map with with this remix. Pitch Me Up Remix is a fusion of various styles from progressive house, techno to trance.
Ville’s own Evil Twin Remix gives the track a bit more twisted treatment. It’s a straight forward pro house mix with mental background elements, weird pitch pends and groovy basses.
Here’s everything to everyone digging their tracks near 130 beats per minute.

2. It’s In Her Eyes (Zage’s Pitch Me Up Remix)

3. It’s In Her Eyes (Evil Twin Remix)

The Definition of Subtraxx is a mix compilation series needing little explaining. This mix gives you a great overview about the sound Subtraxx is releasing as a label. An insight to the artists on board. It really defines what Subtraxx is all about: High quality progressive trance.

While the first episode was a overview to the early days of Subtraxx by Miika Kuisma, the founder of the label the second episode is more into the present sound and artist on board. This time the current front man and A&R of the label Ville Lope brings us a showcase like mix of the releases since taking the artistic lead of the label.

My first mix compilation “Definition of Subtraxx – Volume 2″ is available from all digital stores like Beatport, Audiojelly, DJ Download, Juno Download, iTunes. The pack includes the mix and all the tracks used in the mix as full length DJ friendly unmixed form.
