Top Billin

Fifteen thousand screaming fans, speakers banging loud as thunder, fireworks and pyrotechnics flying in the air like it’s new year’s eve. Four dudes in tight leather pants, stroking power chords from stratocasters and blasting double bass drums… Oh wait, that was Van Halen at the San Diego Sports Arena in 1981. Never mind that… But Top Billin are equally hot. In fact – the DJ collective consisting of guys named Sir Nenis, Fiskars, Flipperi, Anonymous & J-Laini, Top Billin is the closest thing to club phenomenon ever to come from Finland.
