18 17– 23 JULY 2014 WHERE TO GO HELSINKI TIMES

TONJE T HiLESEN Gigs at the terrace Situated on the Lasipalatsi Square, Mbar´s terrace is one of the best places to enjoy the urban summer with live/DJ music, cold drinks and relaxed atmosphere. During summer- time, the programme at the terrace varies from live acoustic performances to DJ-driven club nights, from jazz to afro beat. The events are free of charge and the terrace is open from 12:00 pm to 2:00 am. On Friday 18 July, the terrace will fill up with interesting new music offered by Cocoa Music, a Finnish independent record label and home to young rising artists. On the third Cocoa Night, the stage will be taken by Biniyam, an 18-year-old Helsinki-based rapper, and Phantom, a unique duo formed by singer & songwriter Hanna Toivonen and producer/ sound designer Tommi Koskinen, whose music is an enchanting blend of Toivonen´s jazz- influenced vocals and Koskinen´s cinematic soundscapes. On Saturday 19, club Jook Joint by Axl Smith (Epic, MTV) & Ruff Cut DJs Esgrove and Cool L will combine creative “DJing” with live elements and high energy “MCing”, and promises to make you dance ´til dawn.

Mbar Terrace Helsinki Mannerheimintie 22-24 Free entry www.mbar.fi Phantom is known for its unique live shows with real time Kinect visuals and an original handmade instrument.
