ODED PELED 
HEY ! THIS IS ME.
I realize that my story is not so different from many others. A young boys passion for club culture starts in an amazing club, that he will always see as legendary. He won't forget the waves of energy that house music was making the crowd experience and he simply got swept away ... Soon after he buys a couple of turntables, spends hours in record shops and goes out 2 or 3 times a week.

Well, I really did all of this. But from those days until now is almost 13 years !!! And in between so much has happened. What names should I drop, for people to realize how hot I am ? Before we get to them, I would like to note that I only do it for the people that don't know me personally or have been apart of a night or two, that I have helped making memorable in some positive way. I have even wrote the name dropping in CAPITAL letters, if you are looking for a quicker read.

I heard the first DJ's that really inspired my musical style in AMSTERDAM. DIMITRI, MARCELLO, MICHEL DE HEY and 100% ISIS, played soulful techno, that tingled your heart and always offered you surprises. Styles varied and pigeon holing was far to be heard. I learned that the basis of entertaining and educating a crowd is by doing so and even-though my musical taste has evolved, I will most probably always DJ like that.

I started to get a name for myself in Helsinki by playing at underground nights. My first gig was when I was 17. I remember walking into STONEWALL and seeing a sign saying "age limit 24". Well, I already had a cute little beard so the finns didn't even think I was under aged. The next thing I clearly remember is jumping on my waterbed after getting a call from the clubs promoter about the next gig I was going to play for him. When my big brother ASAF, made his final move from Israel to Finland, we started doing our own nights in SODA. We were full of youthful and excited energy and spent most of our time in and around the clubs and the music. Things starting rolling pretty quickly and by the age of 20 I was playing all over the country and making a larger and larger amount of people smile and sometimes even jump around like lunatics.

In 1999 me and my brother thought of opening an agency, that would try to get Finnish DJ's to get more gigs abroad. We also wanted to start booking international artists to play in and around Finland and hold big events of our own. We got together by the people we felt made the scene what it is and told them the plan. And MISC MANAGEMENT was ze booorned!

We worked and worked and got more and more contacts. What started small, evolved into working with some of the worlds biggest names and a total of hundreds of bookings in Finland and to many other places. Meeting, hearing and playing with some of the artists we booked has given me the understanding I have about DJing today. Not to forget the huge amount of inspiration and drive they have given me. People like JOSH WINK, ROB DI STEFANO, GUY GERBER, DIMITRI, JOSÈ PADILLA, ROLANDO and MR C are the first to pop to my mind...

I have also teamed up with some really talented people to produce music. Some of it has been released through respected labels and remixed by some of my favorite artists, such as ORLANDO VOORN and VINCE WATSON. I haven't been there myself, but I have been told that they have been played out my some of my favorite artists, which simply put, feels great.

Traveling was something that I first did very professionally, if you could say. Travel / hotel / dinner / rest / gig / party / sleep / travel felt normal back then. But as time went by this changed and I have fell in love with the experiences traveling gives me. Combining this with DJing has gotten me to some amazing places. HONG KONG, BALI, TORONTO, TAIPEI, RUSSIA, THE BALTICS, SCANDINAVIA, AUSTRALIA and and and and and.

I will never lose these memories and I cherish all of the amazing moments that DJing has given me. Playing shirtless at dark and crazy after-parties for 200 in Helsinki, in-front of 3000 at a warehouse in Estonia, a packed ice hockey hall in Murmansk, warming up in a stadium for UNDERWORLD or playing a sunset chill out gig in Bali. Hopefully there will be many more to come... I think life is pretty good, when you let things flow. And that is what I am doing now. I still feel inspired and I will continue to live with this burning for another memorable night.

All the best,
Oded Peled
