Another cool 'breakthrough' story is the one of Finish house genius Jori Hulkkonen:
He discovered early house and techno in his above-the-polar-circle town Oulu through a Swedish radio show. He didn't know for the world where to get those records and that kind of music so he decided to make his own and started buying old equipment wherever he could find it. After a while he started sending tapes to various labels he had discovered through frequent visits to Helsinki (where he had finally found some house records). A few months later his mother told him that there was an American gentleman on the phone for him...it turned out to be Carl Craig who wanted to give him a contract on Planet E. Jori was so overwhelmed he couldn't answer immediately so Carl gave him a few days to think about it. The following day he had just about made his decision when the phone rang again...it was a French gentleman calling from his car. It turned out to be Laurent Garnier who immediately offered him a contract for a whole slew of 12"... Talk about choices, choices...
