The most important moment of his career so far is his gig at “Fabric” as he is one of the first italian djs to have this big honour, in April 2006, followed by several other gigs in the months to come. In summers 2006 and 2007 he was one of the resident djs of “Vitalik Crew” at We Love Sundays at Space in Ibiza.

Hailing from the Frozen North, with the highest amount of mobile phones and internet connections per head, where saunas and reindeer rule your life, where in dark days it seems like kind of a logical conclusion to lock yourself away in the studio, this is the world of our favourite Finn Jussi-Pekka. So far he can look back on an impressive release catalogue including productions for highly respected labels such as Poker Flat ( “Dancing Queen”), Morris/Audio (”Work it”), Slip’n'Slide, Audiomatique (”Let it go”), Out of Orbit (”Stereo interleaved”), Dessous, Latenightessentials, Vuo, Statra, Worldless (”The Snake”), Disco Inc/ Force Inc. and not to forget his very own imprint Frozen North Recordings, which he started in 2005 to give himself as well as other Finnish artists the chance to spread the more and more sought-after Scandinavian beats.
