When Heikki was ten years old and he got his first stereo system set up in his room, he stole all of his parents' cassette tapes and listened to them until they were worn out. He then moved onto hunting down music from his friends and neighbours.

At the age of thirteen Heikki met a local DJ who handed him a tape that was filled with techno and house music. Inspired by this Heikki bought his first record player and mixer, spending all his pocket money on 12” singles. For two years Heikki would DJ at school and school dances and just before going to high school Heikki was booked for his first gig playing at a nightclub.

Due to starting at such a young age, Heikki has an amazing ability to interpret the dance floor and this has ranked him as one the busiest touring DJ's of Finland, always spinning the biggest venues and parties.

During his teens his passion for music grew into a realization that he wanted to make his own music. All his summers spent mowing lawns made him enough money to buy a computer and synthesisers. Ever since then, his life has never been the same.

At nineteen, Heikki left his hometown of Rauma and headed to the capital of Finland, Helsinki. Upon his arrival his very first music collaboration was signed to Sony Music Finland.

On Heikki's second project, he joined forces with party promoter Alex Kunnari. The first single ‘Darkstar' from 'Modulation' ended up on Above and Beyond's ‘Hard On' label. The second release ‘Spirits' ended up on Paul Van Dyk's ‘Vandit' and Ferry Corstens' ‘Purple Eye' – label. 'Modulation' is still up and running with Big Star Records.

Helsinki was the place to meet amazing people with similar minds, one of them being Jaakko Salovaara. Surprisingly, even though getting licensed by a few foreign labels, their first project ‘Spectro' ended up in the bin. Their second project ‘Hi‑Tech', however, was signed to Ministery Of Sound, giving birth to Dallas Superstars.…читать далее ↓

Surprisingly, even though getting licensed by a few foreign labels, their first project ‘Spectro' ended up in the bin. Their second project ‘Hi‑Tech', however, was signed to Ministery Of Sound, giving birth to Dallas Superstars. Dallas superstars marked an era that opened doors aboard and brought Heikki's name to the attention of the wider audience.

After the highly successful Dallas Superstars album ‘Flash' (2003), Heikki continued to work on music by co‑producing Darude's album ‘Rush' (2004). This has led to his current project of producing, mixing and remixing the first single from Darude's upcoming third album ‘Tell me'.

Dallas Superstars' humorously named project ‘Supermodels From Paris' release ‘Keep on' ended on several top DJ's playlists inc. Sander Klainenberg's Sensation White.

The highly anticipated follow up to the Dallas Superstars debut album – ‘Higher State' – was released last year (2006). It included a remake of the classic ‘Fine Day' which is still causing a buzz around the world.

Now, it is time for Heikki to step aside for a moment and create something utterly his own, to put to the test all he has seen, learned, and understood, compressing this knowledge down to ‘Heikki L'.

In his music, Heikki has an ultimate goal of moving people, giving them shivers that will result in a mind‑exploding orgasm, sharing positive energy through out his music as well as through his DJ'ing.

In 2006, Heikki L. partnered up with fellow DJ/producer friends Mr A. and Miika Kuisma to start their own label Danceteria Music. In the beginning of 2007, Heikki L. was signed to the young and innovative label ‘Fektive Records' in Holland. He has work cut out for him in several remix projects, which will be out in future releases on Positiva, Ministry Of Sound and Kontor Records. Heikki L's first solo release ‘Let the Bass Kick' has already found it's way to Judge Jules' play list – telling something big is on the rise.
