Playing high-octane sounds from moody house music to spicy trance, wild breaks to intensive percussive gems, DJ Aleksi is a Kaiku resident and one of the founders of OO Recordings &amp; DWSC. You can often find him also playing at Post Bar and Siltanen, as well as in the underground, Berlin or Amsterdam. He knows how to get the room moving, always having a twinkle in the corner of his eye.
With his own distinct way, Handshaking has been influencing Helsinki nightlife, balancing on the tightrope of seriousness and not-so-seriousness. What comes as a result is insightful, surprising and even agitating moments on the dance floor, and in the DJ booth as well. Recently you could have spotted “Hanska” in the lineups of front row clubs of Helsinki as well as in the Netherlands, and organizing infamous Cursed Mashups nights. Besides DJing Handshaking has released two studio albums and is, may we call, a cult live act as well.
Guilty Pleasures hosts invited long term friends DJ Aleksi &amp; Handshaking to open their ”don’t play these trax” folder at Flow Festival. Expect anything and nothing — the soup will be wild, ugly, and salty.
