Made up of the best EDM artists to come out of the Finnish dance scene, HeavyWeight DJs Rascal, Leo Lotsaless, Mista S, and Lovetone are sure to keep any party alive. These guys play the DJ game so well, and like true hustlers they have the best hand in the house. Enough partypoker references, these guys rock it, pure and simple. Often compared to the Swedish House Mafia mainly because of their Scandinavian roots, HeavyWeight DJs are slowly but surely making a name for themselves as one of the best progressive house and trance DJ collectives beyond Scandinavia.

Check out the video here.

They recently released a banging new video for the hit single Fireworks which is now one of the best club anthems played in Europe. HeavyWeight DJs are also known for their hit club anthems ‘Come Alive’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘One and Only’. These are the best of the best right now, so if you haven’t heard any of these tracks, run, don’t walk to your nearest club! For sure, they are definitely spilling blood on the dance floor. It’s no surprise if you’ll be seeing them in the biggest electronic dance music festival in the world Tomorrowland soon, along with famous acts such as Armin Van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Avicii, David Guetta, Steve Aoki and LMFAO, so watch out!

“That can’t be right,” my roommate said. “There aren’t any black people in Finland.” How wrong he was. – Earmilk, US

So – we need an intern. Mainly for some hardcore blog-, email-hustling but also for general assistance at the office and helping out with mail orders and stuff. Excellent chance to learn stuff from various music biz sectors –  you’d be mainly covering management and label related areas but you know, there’s always a chance you end up hanging out with superstars on a boat in the middle of Pacific ocean making awesome hookups with who knows who! I mean, who can tell what tomorrow brings in this business, right?

So preferably, you:

-Have passion for music and are generally interested in the business side of it

-You know quite a lot about different genres and bands

-Might have a degree in music business/management (awesome) or you’re in some sort of business school majoring in marketing or similar

-are able to work on your own, making your own schedules

-are free to work a few days a week (you can choose your hours) at our office or from home/where ever best suits you

-are older than 18

-have some experience in music business. That might mean that you’re a true oldschool player or seeing a lot of gigs, running your own blog, selling your friend-band’s merch etc.

-Maybe live in Helsinki or nearby, or at least could come to Helsinki easily couple of times a week

-Speak and use English almost like your mothers tongue. Finnish not required. Knowing Swedish is definitely an advantage since we got some new, highly classified new business ventures down west but not required.

-can do some graphic design and master Photoshop etc. Not required but would be awesome and an advantage.

Length: 1-3 months

Note that this internship is unpaid. However, you can find out if you’re eligible for some allowance from your local job recruitment office. Or similar. The point is, with this internship you have an excellent chance to step in to the business with one of the top management offices in Finland. After the internship period you might score big time and get to be permanent member of our family (we’ll throw in a few hundred of Fresh Tunes stocks for starters). Naturally, You will receive a reference letter of the time you spent with us.

During the internship time, you’ll get free coffee, get to see tons of gigs for free, learn a lot from the business and get to see superstars, naturally. We hook you up with new music and sweet contacts from the industry.

You’d be mainly working with HeavyWeight DJs, Wedding Crashers and some of the clients we have on our label side.

Oh, and IF YOU’RE GENERALLY INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR US, HAVE AN ENTREPENEUR’S ATTITUDE AND REALLY KNOW YOUR SHIT, GET IN TOUCH BROTHER, OR SISTER.

Send your application (free form, like half a page), CV and some cool links of you by 9th of March to jusu [ät ] freshtunesfinland.com That’s also the place where you can get more information.

Long story short: We released a new album by our friends from Wiidakko. We love it and you love it too. We’d like to use this blog post to offer you two options to make your December (and/or the rest of your life) awesome.

As a first option we suggest you to have a visit in our magnificent Bandcamp page, where you can buy your own digital copy of Wiidakko’s brand new album. Here’s also a quick saving tip for you: Not only the digital album is cheaper than what you’ll get from your local record-hustler, but you’ll also save a substantial money because in a sudden burst of generosity we’re throwing in a 20% discount for your album-purchase. Just type “wiidakkofresh” where needed and you’re good to go!

The second, and the more old-school way to enhance your everyday life with Wiidakko’s music is, naturally, to pay a visit to that local record store and ask the guy behind the desk for a physical copy of the album. The secret discount code for him/her is “Dude you’re freakin awesome, I adore you.”

Stay gnarly

First of all, our ever-charming, warm and ridiculously cute boy-choir, “Wedding Crashers” released their debut album “This is What You Wanted” two weeks ago, and boy, we assure you that this is definitely what you wanted (clever, eh?). There are some great reviews, the album has caught in Finnish media (4/5 Desibeli.net, 4/5 Rumba 10/2011, 3/5 Yhteishyvä). Due to the fact that winter is coming soon, we suggest you to stop anything you were doing and prepare yourselves for the dark, cold days by getting your own piece of warmth and sunshine in form of a great album, pronto! This is the perfect soundtrack to nights spent online catching up with social media networking or hanging out and playing at a gaming club whilst constantly hitting the repeat button.

Also, if you’re in the internets-music business you’re definitely gonna appreciate what we did with this new awesome tool they call ‘Viinyl’! –> The Megaphone State – Lights

Definitely the best e-card-meets-showcasing-a-single -tool at the moment, keep the good shit coming boys!

Sorry , lame opener there. Anyway, once again, really sorry we haven’t been updating this blog like we used to. It’s just that we’re so busy and all that we don’t have that spare 3minutes to waste on writing here you know?

But things are about to change! I mean, just watched the first season of How To Make It In America yesterday and feel really hyped about pretty much everything now. That includes updating this blog at least couple of times per week. Sweet.

Before we tap into the biz, we want to introduce you our clients interwebs-music “all at once” -type of deal:
Spotify playlist of our roster! Amazing! http://open.spotify.com/user/jusutalent/playlist/2CTIpGg0c0gmCQNM9PLzyL

So, lots and lots happening as we speak. First of all, we released the debut single from the upcoming Megaphone State album “VLA Kings” and it’s getting some pretty sweet hype on Finnish radios. Loving that.

It also received some nice MTV-love, again from MTV IGGY blog. link to the review here

Another band worth mentioning is the “critically acclaimed” ORIGINAL HETEROES and their new single Pyramid. Shit is rad dude. Have a listen to it and judge/love then, yeh?

Oh, almost forgot, What’s that? Is it an aeroplane? NO? Yes? Is it a Crashers in a random Weddings? YES MATE YES.

Almost 2yeras in the making, it’s finally here. This Wednesday… Wedding Crashers drop their debut album This Is What You Wanted (Universal)!!! We joined our creative minds with the band and created this awesome karaoke-video for you to collaborate. Join the movement!

And yes you guessed it, the first response, yes, by us. A little treat for you guys to hang on until the next post. Have a good week and enjoy life… Peas out, yours truly, The MFCEO, J-bird.

Hello.

The beginning summer and merciless, yet totally sweet, upcoming heatwaves made us at F-Chunes feel that you people should be reminded of our beloved sons, Wedding Crashers’, new single “Brenda” and its inconceivably awesome video, directed by Mikko Mällinen, released in June 15th.

Yes, we are aware that most of you have already fell in love with this absolutely gorgeous song (and band, of course!) and the massively good vibes it spreads around when played.

We are also very aware that since you are familiar with the Internet and reading this text, you are one of those 21th century cool guys, who probably possess a cell with the latest internet-connection-3g-WiFi-Shebang, so you’re definitely able to watch and listen “Brenda” all those lazy summer days in the park with your best friends, packed with good food and some great wine. You guys, we encourage to move your finger towards the “replay” button and keep the good feelings flowing.

Why don’t you go ahead and give it a couple spins right away ->

One Of The Pigeons, our sunny indie pets are nicely rock, adorably pop, equally hip and perfectly catchy. Since their formation in 2008 big names in the British indie scenery such as The Killers and The Strokes have shined through in the bands breezy indie pop. The group of five still fully creates their own sound and breaks away from today’s typical  indie acts today with their upbeat and fun Scandinavian sound.

The band’s recently released single Table Game is an awesome soundtrack for the spring and the summer. Both songs on the release were recorded and produced by Julius “Juppu” Mauranen (the Finnish indie producer-God behind names like Delay Trees and Murmansk.)

In 2010 One of The Pigeons released an EP Inside the Gates of Home of which catchy tunes even calved some interest from radio YleX’s basement acts –section at the “Best of 2010” list. You can listen to Inside the Gates of Home on Spotify and purchase the new Table Game single from iTunes, meteli.net or Fresh Tunes Finland’s shop.

As we are slowly getting back into our regular working routines after Easter holidays, we’d like to inform you guys a little about the latest buzz that’s going on in Fresh Tunes.

First of all, our extremely fresh and talented trainee, Joanna, is now officially approved to our team by the Finnish officials. We greatly appreciate that there’s someone helping us out to keep our things together at least ’till the end of July. So big up Joanna and Finnish employment system. You’re the shiz!

Secondly, if you didn’t catch our announcement earlier on Facebook, our dear boys from One of the Pigeons release their new single on April 28th… a definite bomb to get your feet moving during the May Day parties! Hear hear hear! -> http://snd.sc/gTBnYX

Oh hey! One more thing. We’re throwing a Fresh Tunes Finland 1 year anniversary party in 21th of May in Ravintola Helmi. This will also serve a platform for the crazy 25th birthday-parties of our beloved Creative Manager, the Man, Jusu and me, the new Dude, Teemu. Yey for us! We sent the first invitations via Facebook yesterday and if you didn’t get yours and feel you definitely deserve one, perhaps contacting Jusu or me would fix this unpleasant situation.

Have a great May Day people and don’t get too loaded with all the mead!

ps. Sorry, I didn’t find any cool pictures for this post :(

So heads up people! Here it goes:

My name is Teemu Tanninen and I’ve been working with the FTF-crew for a couple months or so. Actually, the word “working” sounds pretty misleading, not in the way that we aren’t working (also, working out… pic related) hard as ever, but instead of a regular day-job, I’d rather consider Fresh Tunes to be a way for me to get to do things I love with awesome, like-minded people.

For me, the music is all about good vibes and Son, I can tell you, Fresh Tunes is all about dem good feelings!

The reason why I’m so thrilled about joining the Fresh Tunes team is that I thoroughly agree that the music-biz is in great need of new, fresh thinking and actors who have the will to take the leap to the unknown. With a team like Fresh Tunes, I’m certain that we’re able to push the much needed new energy to music-industry also in global level and break those nasty outdated molds, one way or another.

It’s getting pretty late so I guess that’s all from me for now. Stay tuned and see you at the gigs!

Laters!
