DJs Pietari and Mr. A have their Club Doom at Nylon, Helsinki on Sundays
What sort of music do you play?
Well, here have this again - Hard beats
Yeah. Dumb categorizing thing Well
I guess we represent, like, mainly that NuNRG/hardback (?), that section
Of course I play quite a lot of house as well
When they play it like ?, with fast and hard tempo,
So if I play like what other DJs in Helsinki
Then I put the pitchi to +8%
Hard style for selection records, so that they have a strong bassline
very, like...
immersive, like hard bassline
Can go towards trance records as well, I quite like trance as well
But if it gets too cheese, then it is not that for me anymore
So rather something harder
Doom is the second club of boys, Pietari used to have legendary Flop Club at Stonewall
How is to organize clubs in Helsinki?
Everyone knows that there's gonna be a club they are like, hey, they have a new club, yeayea
But that's not all, there must be a lot more work behind it?
Yeah, it is probably the most annoying thing in the world
probably like, to organize a club
It is only like like, okay now ...
team that like
starts to work on this project
but it rather requires, requires a lot
in a way like, field work
That you like know people, and are yourself
like aware yourself, on what, like, what you are doing
And are like, just aware of the whole scene
[we have] been around
We both have most likely pretty
good background, as we have been around in the Helsinki club scene
and in abroad
So you are just aware what you are doing
How Doom differs from other clubs in Helsinki?
We have in the end, quite a lot, put effort to our visual aspect
Like, that club,
when we start to build it, or
start to think how should it look, the venue
so we put quite a lot of effort to it
try to put effort, then of course with our own ...
with our own clothes, and our own style to that
like, visual aspect [of the club]
and we kinda give tips on
that look like, that look like, like.
[hahhah]
meaning...
fetish and ... very hard/dark
hardcore, black
plastic
PVC - rubber
latex, and all...
At DJ Pietari's house there were interesting...
pop art
Now, if you compare to abroad, to international clubs
So where does, Finland's club scene like ...
situates compared to international clubs?
OMG, are we talking about Finland or Helsinki?
Let's talk about Helsinki - about Helsinki
probably like, Serbia-Croatia, I don't even know
But, the most incredible thing, in my mind is,
when we read quite intensively that DJ Magazine
when there has been, guys playing here
they have be liked a lot
I mean foreigners, all foreign DJ guests
have liked Finland, and the vibe here
then you don't hear a word [on DJMag] about, like, on Finland

Musically we are like at the same level as anywhere else
Music comes here fast, and we order
order records from abroad

You have at least until the end of September (1997) this Doom Club [at DTM, Annankatu]
What after that, you have something new planned?
of course all the times there are thoughts
that should do something [new], but like,
when you start this club or any club, then,
finding the venue, is the, is the first task
and that is so hard in this city that good venue
Are you gonna keep going? Not gonna give up on any point?
Gotta keep going
the energy must keep going
[hehheh]
