Starting in the early nineties from the warehouse raves of the industrial city of Tampere, stirring the Northern Finland electronic music scene at the turn of the millennium, settling down in Helsinki in 2006, and living in Berlin 2011-2013, Orion is still one of the busiest and most relevant DJs in Finland.

Probably best known for his over 15-year-long career with the Finnish National Radio YleX, Orion hosts the channel’s three-hour Friday night every week. Alongside his work as a DJ and radio host, Orion also runs his own Absence of Facts label and regularly releases music on top-tier labels like MORD, Mindtrip, H-Productions, Suara, etc.

No matter if it’s about performing live at a sold-out festival or a warehouse party, expanding the possibilities of DJing with the latest technological innovations, hosting an electronic music conference, playing at KitKat in Berlin, Ministry of Sound in London, or clubs in the USA, Germany, Greenland, Russia, Spain, etc., headlining New Year’s party for 85000 people, 2000 people pool party or hosting live radio broadcasts from Berlin, after over 25 years in the business it’s all still happening, and it’s all labor of love.

“I’ve been lucky enough to have people around me who haven’t been there for money and fame but for the love of music. I guess none of us ever believed how big things could get far in the Finnish outback, and I can’t give enough credit to all those who have been supporting and helping with all the countless productions”, DJ Orion shares.
