This is what we’ve all been waiting for: Jytää ja iskelmää, led by DJ Arttu Seppänen, will lead the Festivaali people to ecstasy on Friday and Saturday from midnight to 1:30 am!

Jytää ja iskelmää is the hottest disco club in Finland. DJ Arttu Seppänen has travelled across Finland over the years looking for old Finnish Schlager albums at flea markets. What makes the night so special are all the rare and special records you can’t listen to anywhere, not even online. Jytää ja iskelmää combines everything that is strange and special about Finnish Schlager with timeless popular classics.

Seppänen is a journalist specialising in Finnish pop music, and between songs, he will narrate all the strange stories behind them. Years of research and album-hunting have resulted in an irresistible and ecstatic dance night, which fills venues across Finland. This is a night you can’t experience anywhere else.

Jytää ja iskelmää is about fostering a disappearing national culture and creating a utopia like in Kaurismäki’s films, at least for one night. Old Finnish Schlager music was made to be listened to on vinyl. And to dance. And dance is what we want!
