BIOGRAPHY
Jussi Soro is currently one of Finland’s most in demand DJ’s. Jussi has played for renowned
international clubbing brands such as Gatecrasher, Godskitchen, Sundissential
and Ministry Of Sound not to mention the biggest Finnish clubs Hallmark,
Millennium and Illusions. 28 year old Jussi Soro comes from the Finnish city
Turku. On home soil he has been awarded numerous accolades at the Finnish Club
Awards, maintained residencies at Choon! and Essence and produces under the
names 'Jussi Soro' and 'Miikka & Jussi'.
Jussi grew up with classical music and started playing the piano and violin
when he was just five years old and continued his abilities for over ten years.
At the same time he was also studying musical theory in music school. During
his mid-teens he was involved in playing within a couple of rock bands as a
guitarist. At the same time he achieved his first contacts for electronic music.
Since his first rave party in 1994 he wanted to be a part of the electronic
music scene, buying his first set of decks in 1998. Since then he's been an
integral part of the Finnish scene, organizing clubs and events and, of course,
DJ'ing almost everywhere.
Jussi’s musical style revolves around uplifting trance influenced by progressive
house, psytrance, techno and electro. His first release on Five AM was a
collaboration with Miikka Leinonen and it made record of the month in Mixmag.
Since then Jussi has built a solid ground on producing, and is busy remixing and
working with such names as Jan Johnston and Matt Darey to name a few. He’s
currently signed to Enhanced, Alter Ego and Five AM.
Jussi still considers himself as 90% DJ and 10% producer. His passion for DJ’ing
is what keeps him going and he has received great recognition for his mixing skills
and the flow of his sets. He enjoys gradually building his sets to the peak with
more obscure tunes and twisted sounds, and then tearing the roof off with some
of the biggest tunes of the moment.
