This Friday we welcome the Vladivostok-born, Moscow-based musical connoisseur Yakovets to celebrate the release of his debut EP. Having deejayed in Helsinki a bunch of times already, he could almost be considered a local (almost). Yakovets himself works on strengthening the musical and cultural bond between Russia and Finland, working with St. Petersburg venue Tancploshadka to bring in DJs from Finland. Yakovets’ ties with Helsinki have resulted in his debut release on Elossa Records, which is run by one of our city’s hardest working DJs, Marc Fred.

This will be Yakovets’ first live performance outside of his native country (woop), with Marc Fred and local eccentric Handshaking accompanying him for the night. Expect everything from syntheziser disco to classicly tinged house music to obscure funk and beyond.

Doors: 22-05
Free before 23 / 10€ after + security fee.
