They're marvellous. > http://www.giantrobot.fi/ also, check out http://finturntablism.cjb.net/ for finnish turntablists. the bad thing is that the site is only in finnish. check the audio section and didier's stuff (on realaudio) http://www.mixoftheweek.com/ pirkka hartikainen's mix site. mostly deep house, but also hip hop, dancehall and reggae. features some top guests as well, like helsinki's finest dj anonymous and dynamiitti-risto for instance. ceebrolistics is a decent rap group doin' their shit in finnish, sometimes also in english. http://www.ceebrolistics.com/ finnish funk at it's finest: calypso king and the soul investigators! forgot all the bloody whiners! that's _the_ thing! http://www.teli.stadia.fi/~skanteli/pictures.html also check out calypso king's lp on new york's soul fire records: http://www.soulfirerecords.com/ a general sit about finnish techno (and some other music) scene http://www.phinnweb.com/ on hip hop directory (http://www.hiphop-directory.com) you can find info on finnish stuff. just search for finnish hip hop. nice eclectic mixes by dj mekaanikko on http://www.nutempo.com/mixes/ to mekaanikko: juuso, you should put some more shit on yer page! thanks! > Dancehall reggae groups? Hmmm... can't think of any. Soul Captain Band is > maybe closest to reggae that I can think of... Here: > http://www.kapteeni.net/sielukapteeni/musakirjasto.php (the whole site is > unfortunately in Finnish, but this is their MP3 page...) i'm sorry i'm az bit busy now but if you need i'll write down a more accurate list when i've got time.. cheers -- Heikki Kiviluoto -> ddr rhythm/turku soul boys turku, finland, europe
