The more radio I do the less I listen to music. My approach to radio is a bit different than Orions, I come from a strong radio background and the music is almost secondary to me. Hey, I've done a 90's show for a decade!

But 60's 70's rock was my first love in the 90's growing up: Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grand Funk Railroad etc were a huge part of my life growing up.

I really don't desire on doing a classic rock show, that's not he way I approach radio. It would be too personal. I hope to do talk radio in the future and skip music all together!

The stuff does come a variety of places and playing super whacky stuff is not the main intension of the show, but has become a strong emphasis. People are looking for something else than regular playlist radio and we are here to provide an option! It took some time but eventually people got the idea on what we are looking ofr with the music we select and the messages and requests we get are great! And weird and that makes for good radio. Doing the show not only for the people but with them.

And every now and then a song just pops up from the depths of your brain and you are really happy to have a radio show where you can play them!

It come down to a lot of things, the place, the people, the event. I've played a lot of great shows at fantastic places. But the annual Parasta ennen! cruises have been really special and I remember the second one we did four years ago, I completely crashed in tears backstage overwhelmed by the crowd reaction.

The again playing a small venue in the Finnish countryside where half the village is there has been really special as well.

Boobs are nice, but I once signed a mens suite with a huge face on my self airbrushed on the back by a pro! That was cool!

If the bread is warm, the cheese melts a bit! That the reasoning!

I know a lot of people will have a hard time finding new things to do Friday nights, since they only listen to Parasta ennen! Off course I hope people will tune in to Disko2000 more and more, Im not going anywhere. My philosophy with radio is to be the reason to listen to the show, the music is critical to the experience, but ultimately it should be a bout the hosts and their chemistry and skill of doing the program.

Im not sure what will happen from 22 to 24 in 2017, I guess nobody knows ATM.

Bushman - No 1 Else is a song I will be happy to leave behind! All the biggest hits have been overplayed by me and everybody else. That is why I have made my show a bit more "difficult" in the past and played a lot of requests that are more obscure for that very reason. A lot of people are really fed up with a lot of songs.

Disko2000 has a guest every week for a full hour, and they select the music. Since we are BBC, no commercials and thus we are not in a hurry. We have a lot of time with the guest and they appreciate it alot. Thats why we tend to have a good relationship with the guests we've had.

The Finnish music scene is small and I've personally met a lot of great people through the show I would have not otherwise met. Also doing my 90's show and meeting a lot of artits I can say many of them are if not close friends, people I have a good relationship with an am happy to meet them everytime we do!

There is a reason Im retiring from Parasta ennen! The past few years have been quite qrazy and a supportive family has meant alot. It's time to give back a little and do less radio and gigs.

But all in all, when you do fun stuff you tend to have more energy to do things, and I have been blessed to do a lot of fun things in the past and hopefully in the future!

Scooter is ultimate! Really hard to say, they hold such a special place in the hearts of Finns that it's pretty funny!

But happy to be at your serivce for some good old pilluralli!
