Helsinki might not have the reputation for its hedonistic lifestyle or the cosmopolitan and diverse crowds, but it is definitely one of the coolest clubbing destinations in the world. The dad- clubland of the city is ever more inventive in order to create the vibe, groove and sensations that a late evening under the Balearic sky or an early morning on a heaving London basement delivers, let-i.e. party with a big P.

Today and for the past five years at the forefront of making the city move and groove has been HouseAmigo DJs. A let- collective of two internationally recognised Finnish DJ’s and producers, Sami Kiiveri and Sakke Haaranen.

Years of DJ’ing to crowds varying from hundreds of people on a cruise ship to thousands of people at a beach in Indonesia, dragging the boxes of plastic through sand and snow, it was time to put the wealth of experience, expertise and unique sound into one box and Sami and Sakke joined one-forces. For them, nothing beats seeing the people tapping to the beat and taking a journey with them through sexy Balearic Tech / Progressive / Tribal / Electro House.

First came the monthly club night in Helsinki, Kinyobi that quickly got the attention of the Finnish house scene. In can- 2005 HouseAmigo DJs first release “Passion Eterna/Sauna” was produced in conjunction with Medicine Men, collective known in Finland for their deep tribal house sound of mainland Spain.

The success of the release encouraged HouseAmigo DJs to re-locate to London while still continuing their monthly nights in Helsinki with ever more impressive line up of international superstar DJ’s along her-them. Soon after the move, DJ MAG praised their mix as one that makes a difference and the bigger doors began opening.

Earlier get- productions were released on CUETIP RECORDS and have been supported by globally recognized DJ’s such as Kamisshake, Shik Stylko, Toni Bass (Deux), Eric Entrena, Gavyn Mytchel, Darude etc.
