Update!
🕑 Added 2024-03-18 18:11:54 +0000 UTCHowdy folks!
A little update about everything that's been happening and will be happening...there's been a lot, and even I struggle to keep up sometimes, heh.
Believe it or not, the sun has been appearing here in the land of Fin, which is remarkable...hope you have been getting some too! ☀️
• (above) I had a song "Piscean" out on Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR Ccompilation which is as varied as it gets. It is available as a vinyl record and it's on digi services too (see the link).
• (above) I had an EP called "Balcony Acid" out on HeadzState which is Metalheadz' sister label, so it's all curated by Goldie. It's all 120-130 BPM...I like the slower tempo these days. Digital release on all arenas (see the title link).
I have actually made a walkthru video of the song "86 North" earlier at some point – video here!
• I had the pleasure of remixing Source Direct and their old tune "Stars". Vinyl is sold out on Odysee Records Bandcamp where you can snag the digital, but is still available on several stores such as HHV (link).
In April, there will be a walkthru video of this on Patreon, so wait for that! 😋
I will show you the samples I got, my reasoning for doing what I did etc.
It was another Bitwig job – I really like Bitwig! So much I've been considering ordering a Bitwig t-shirt, lol.
Speaking of DAWs...Ableton Live 12 came out recently. I'll have to re-certify for that version soon, which won't be a prob. Geez it was a big update! Anyone got it yet?
🧢If you need a fresh shirt or a cap for the summer, I'll let you know I sell merch too thru my webshop. Everything ships internationally, with tracking.
• There will soon be a Metalheadz podcast which is a 120-to-175 BPM journey of 1.5 hours that came out pretty hecking decent! Should be out before the month is over. There is music from three of my producer tier Patrons actually! <3
• Thursday this week I'll be 44 years old. I love it!
I think my generation is kind of re-defining what you "can" do at this age. I'm looking forward to skateboarding this summer again.
Well what else. Well, after my full-length in 2024, I said I wouldn't work on an album too soon...well guess what's already happening…geez! Well I just love doing it you know?
Btw just want to say big thanks to everybody supporting my music, still. It feels good.
The world of music is weirder than ever, with literally every single person making music, so getting heard amidst all the ever-self-generating social noise is so difficult.
But I'm doing it for myself like I've been doing it since 1992. Releasing music is just a part of the process, and only then it's finished (for me).
Anyways, hope everyone's good. Don't be a stranger, leave a comment!

Thank you!

Happy belated birthday Janne! I'm always in awe of your output.

I've got something in the works with this break as well - inspired by the No Horizon walkthrough - would love to hear what you're up to
Pete
Love No Horizon by the way. Such a great tune. I am DJing at a night in Dundee here in Scotland on 29th and going to play it.
Pete
I am focusing on a section at a time and creating a sequence each time. You have definitely inspired me to inject variety and interest by not always using same hits.
Janne Hatula
Absolutely sick break and takes some time and effort. I used it on “No Horizon” and want to return to it at some point.
Pete
ps In process of chopping up Mean Streets for a new tune!
Pete
That is all super exciting and you are a true inspiration! It really is difficult getting noticed and I am yet to have a release on a well known label. Would love to release a tune on Metalheadz. What a buzz that would be! Like you I do it for the love of it and always will. Going to check out your 86 North walkthrough 🫡
