Well well…you can imagine how hard it’s been for me not to mention this until Rx’s announcement last night, but the lineups/venue for March’s 10 Years of FINRG are now decided! The main floor is looking utterly fantastic, and although there are three huge absences in Nomic, Re-Form and Epyx & Cyrez, that’s countered by E-NRG, Pain on Creation’s Live PA (!) and a potentially brutal B2B between Heathen and BRK.
I’ll be there too…and not only that, but I’ll be playing a solo set in the second ‘Urban’ room! I’m genuinely honoured to be taking part in such a huge event, and rest assured that I’ll be doing my very best to represent both Hybridize and Romancer.
This could be the event to end all events, and it’s also going to be awesome to finally meet all the wonderful folk I’ve come to know through FINRG and TYFTH. There’s still plenty of planning to be done, but I’ll obviously be in Helsinki, Lahti and possibly elsewhere if time/money allows. Oh, a bit of practical advice for any Horsers planning to attend – apparently there’s a ski event of some kind on at the same time as the event, so despite it still being some way off, most/all of the hotels in Lahti are already fully booked.
Anyway, the countdown begins now – for the time being, massive thanks to DJ Rx, Drumhead (Carbon Based) and the rest of the FINRG crew!

Well this looks incredible!! Congrats Jon on representing the horse!! I can confirm that a majority of hotels are fully booked having spent the past few nights on the net looking for accommodation 🙁
The line up is stunning but… Carbon based dj set?? Why not a live show?? And no Nomic, re-form and epyx & cyrez is a bit crap but I’m sure the rest of the line up will make this a night to remember. Amazing to see POC and E-NRG on the bill, representing the old guard!!
The search for flights and hotels continues and I would love to return to this amazing country 5 years on.
FINRG FOREVER MOTHER FUCKERS!!!
Xx
Also who will make up the Finrg all stars???
That’s why CB will be DJing, y’see…that list of DJs from Proteus down to Yaya will be playing a massive anniversary set! So as it turns out, maybe only me, Big Mistake and the live PA guys will be playing individual sets.
Thanks for the congrats by the way, it’d be awesome if you’re able to make it too! Almost time for the rest of the scene to witness the Dark Side of The Horse 😀
So the guys on the big list aren’t playing dj sets? Just the one big set?
FFFFFFFFFF- now I’m hyped! I’m really considering going now, I just have the small problem of having classes during that time!
I think they’re worth missing, though. Watching Alek Száhala and PlasmaDancer live in the *same* event is like watching one of my dreams. Not only that and there’s all the rest of FINRG…
Time to check prices now.
congratulations on the set here Jon. hope it goes well 🙂
Alderz – im sizing up suitcases for me to fit in so you can take me with ya ha ha
Alderz
Yup, as far as I know it’ll be one massive set – maybe something like we’ve seen at the Monday Bar Cruise events?
BerN
Ah, you’re too kind 🙂
Don’t go failing your degree for a FINRG event, but it’d really be nice to see you there!
BEEZEE
Thanks! Unearthing a few killer tunes during the next 3 months might help 🙂
Anyway, even if customs throw you out of Aldz’s suitcase, I expect we’ll have a chance to meet up once I’m in your neck of the woods…now looking like I’ll be in the UK around the second half of March 🙂
yeah hopefully matey. You over here for long?
Hoping to sort things out this week, but I’m guessing at least a couple of weeks 🙂
If I don’t make it Finland you will have to give me a shout as well when your over Jon 🙂
I’d love to go, just need to convince my wife she would like it too! (She hates hardcore lol 😉 )
Even if I don’t go, here’s as good a place as any to announce that I’m going to do a 2 hour all vinyl Finrg mix in advance of the party. 🙂
Really struggling to find an economical and practical solution to getting to this event 🙁
We should have a big TYFTH meeting at the venue guys! it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity 😀
Looks sick guys!. Shame i can’t make it
Pearsall
Very much looking forward to that 🙂
Decion
Late reply…but absolutely! I guess the Urban Room will be pretty small, so it might be a TYFTH takeover in there 😀
KOHL
That’s a shame, would have been great to see you. Wonder if there’ll be any decent events in the UK while I’m over there…
@PlasmaDancer: Yeah, definitiely. When are you over?
@PlasmaDancer: It could be a case that you are over between events. Especially with i Love Hard Beats/Munted AP in Feb…
I know of 3 hard dance/hardhouse events in London in march. 2 of those will have no freeform as far as im aware. There is one with alittle hardcore:(https://www.facebook.com/events/156801194417547/)
but sadly nothing like what Sinistry/i

So with those going on, i can’t see there being anything else in March in central London.
Our yet to be release party isn’t in march either sadly but ill try and have a word with a few of the guys and see whats being planned.
KOHL
Thanks for the info!
It’s still all a bit disorganised, but I’ll probably be in the UK from the 3rd week of March, until sometime in the first week of April.
I’ve found myself at a few industrial style events lately, so I’d be keen to check out anything, it wouldn’t have to be freeform 🙂
