Meet Finnish disco extraordinare Jussi Kantonen. Architect by day, prominent DJ figure and cult vinyl digger by night. Having fully experienced the Disco explosion in both Europe and America during the 70s and 80s, Jussi traveled from his native Helsinki to New York, closely witnessing the hedonism, sound, fashion, cinema, and iconic nightclubs such as the Paradise Garage. His experiences and curiosity led him to co-author Saturday Night Forever:
The Story of Disco, and to create Overfitting Disco, one of the most influential blogs in Disco music. He is widely considered as one of the most renowned vinyl collectors and DJs in the genre, presenting records that very few have heard or seen.
Wera & Falcone
Born in the 90s in the middle of rural Poland, Wera started her musical journey at an early age. She grew up discovering new music via the internet, through peer to peer networks as well as radio stations such as Overfitting Disco and IntergalacticFM. She has always been naturally drawn to the sound of the 70s and 80s.
In the past few years, her passion of discovering and collecting records has taken her to parties across Europe.

Falcone
Small town grown, big city based DJ, record collector & organizer who’s Achilles heel is emotional eighties chord progressions. Brought up in a musical family, the attention for music was always there. However, the options of classical piano, Flamenco or hard rock didn’t appeal to him. Being put in front of two Technics by his uncle at the tender age of 11 during the prime of the Dutch dance movement proved to be his gateway into music. Since then, he’s been putting his love for a variety of analog and electronic genres into practice by accumulating records, playing them in front of audiences and organizing events.
