Haltya
Pelinpala and Outolintu first released on the Fusion vs Confusion compilation in 1999. The Project/Haltya 12, released in 2000, received very good feedback and club plays from, among others, Annie Nightingale at BBC Radio One. After that followed two albums, Forest Flavor and Electric Help Elves.
Haltya was a joint venture of PeLinPaLa (Tommi Sirki..) and Outolintu (J..rgen Sachau). The duo started making music together in 1996 although Tommi and Jyrgen had been making music separately before this for many years by their own means. Haltya was originally meant to be a record label. Traces of that idea stayed in the band, as it isn..t a collaboration in the traditional meaning of the word. Most of the Haltya tunes are composed and produced by either one of the members or together not including their own solo adventures as PeLinPaLa and Outolintu . They both have very different backgrounds in music as Tommi has a long history of studies in classical instruments, rock and jazz music & theory and musictechnology whereas Outolintu is a self tought musician who felt the groove and evolved by experimenting with music by his own.
These two producers anyway connected in a musical way as they both had a habit of experimenting with electronic music equipment. They were looking for the freakiest sounds that could come out of those machines of the new electronic music industry. When they got the synths to sing the weirdest tones they both knew that only a couple of those sounds would just not be enough for one tune! The result is seriously booty shaking funky forest music with sparkles on top, the trademark of Haltya. Their musical style takes influences from jazz, funk, trance, house, drum n.. bass and all sorts of other musical directions. Some call it acid disco, acid funk or psy-funk.
Haltya released their first record on Exogenic Records in 1999 in the form of Project Haltya EP. Their debut album Forest Flavor, which came out in 2000 was highly acclaimed by the psychedelic music lovers around the world. In late 2003 they released the single Hero, which made way for the following album Electric Help Elves, released 2004. In 2005 Outolintu left the project in the caring hands of Pelinpala so he could concentrate on his solo projects.
Today Haltya is considered to be one of the leading originals in psychedelic music and the Suomi sound. The sound of Haltya has been heard in various parties in countries around the world during their live gigs and dj sets.
Tommi is involved in the progressive trance project Highpersonic Whomen together with Markku Louhio from Kiwa. Tommi and Markku are also producing breakbeat influenced Headphonics for Exogenic breaks Records.

Justin Space
Tommi Sirkia aka Dj Justin Space
Born in 16.10.1977
Justin Space is the Dj name of producer Tommi Sirkia. As an active producer of electronic music for the past 17 years, Tommi Sirki.. has released 8 albums with projects such as Haltya, Highpersonic Whomen & solo as PeLinPaLa and a good number of other published works.
His interest for music and various types of musical instruments inspired him to study music and music production in the Conservatoire of Pop & Jazz music of Helsinki, Finland. Born to a musician family, Tommi Sirki.. grew up with music travelling the world with his father who is a classical opera singer. His Family also settled down for 7 years in Germany during Tommi..s childhood, because of his father's residency at a opera house in Dortmund. This is where Tommi first got involved with electronic music as it was getting very popular in Germanny at that time due to acid house and techno.
As a multi-instrumentalist Tommi masters several instruments, such as: piano, drums, guitar, bass, vibraphone to name a few. Playing and producing various musical genres from jazz to rock, experimenting in the electronic fields of music has expanded his knowledge for music which is to be heard in his projects.
Justin Space was named to be one of the producers in the project Highpersonic Whomen, who released a 12" Clone Collective in 2002 following the album Alternative Energysource released in 2002 for Thirteen productions. The name Justin Space settled in after the release of the debut album. Before that Tommi had been using many other artist names.
Justin Space and Highpersonic Whomen have released their works on various compilations from international trance labels including Ministry Of Sound Records, Twisted Records, Exogenic Music Group, Novatekk, Com.pact records, MPDQX label group, Digital Structures, U.S.T.A & Millenium among others.
The album Alternative Energysource was claimed by some critics to be the psy-trance album of the year 2002. The follow up album released june 2006 "Push the Limit" got rewied 5/5 stars in DJ MAG by Dj John "00" Fleming. Their tunes have been played by various top trance and techno dj's since. The term psygressive was labeled with the band because of it's progressive characteristics and the preserved psychedelic touch to their musical profile.
To this day Justin Space has performed in various shows of Highpersonic Whomen and Haltya around the world. Although Tommi had been Dj:ing in parties since the year -94 he never really considered himself a dj until some party promoters wanted to hear his talents on the decks with such enthusiasm that he decided to take up the challenge for real.
The Musical style of Dj Justin Space has varied a lot during the years from house to detroit, trance to electro and chill out. What Tommi defines to be a peak moment in his dj carer was the production work in Highpersonic Whomen, because the release of the album allowed Tommi to play abroad and feel the dancefloor vibes in different countries. After this his musical style of Dj:ing for the dancefloors totally changed and is nowadays in the style of progressive, techno, electro, breaks including a minor pinch of progressive trance . Off the dancefloor you can find him playing techno, minimal, breaks and funky electro up to chill out in some bars, always depending on the mood of the night. However first and foremost Tommi is a true music freak and therefore respects all kinds of musical styles in all genres. .
Currently Tommi is busy producing new Headphonics stuff together with Markku Louhio including a full length album, a new Pelinpala album and a minimal project. Justin Space is a recident dj for Kuuloke klubi who host regular nights at helsinki's rose garden night club.
