From Pasta to Playlists: How Music Shapes a Night at Third Place in November

At Third Place Helsinki, nights don’t just taste good, they sound good. Somewhere between the clink of wine glasses and the swirl of handmade pasta, you’ll hear the heartbeat of the room, the music that turns dinner into a story.

Our playlist isn’t random. Each night has a rhythm a mood that matches what’s on the plate and in your glass. It’s curated by local DJs and friends who know how to move from dinner chatter to dance floor energy without breaking the magic.

Vinyl Culture Meets Pasta Culture

When the lights go low and the turntable starts spinning, the space transforms. Music Nights at Third Place are about connection, analog sound, a bit of crackle, and that warmth you can’t stream. Our DJs bring their personal record collections, turning each night into a living mixtape of Helsinki.

Italian Disco & Street Beats — Vintage Cool with a Modern Edge

Some nights at Third Place feel like the backstreets of Rome in the 1980s - all neon reflections, espresso energy, and confidence in every note. That’s the sound DJ sets like “Bring Your Style: Cold Streets, Hot Beats” deliver, Italian disco, synth bass, and funk grooves that never rush, but always move.

Italian Disco is smooth but electric, full of nostalgia and rhythm. It’s music that pairs perfectly with a Negroni and the chatter of a busy table. 💿 Think Giorgio Moroder meets Helsinki nightlife.

Fusion Jazz & Soul - Music That Breathes with the Room

When DJ Wuf or Kadi Vija take over, the air shifts, trumpets and synths swirl into something deep and human. Fusion jazz isn’t about showing off, it’s about texture, movement, and soul. One moment it’s smoky lounge energy, the next it’s a burst of drums and brass that fills the space with warmth.

It’s a genre that asks you to slow down, to taste, to listen.

🍷 Like a long sip of red wine - it lingers.

Island Grooves & Global Rhythms - A Passport Without Leaving Helsinki

DJs like Suvella and Fleur Amser bring the world to Töölö. Their sets move from Caribbean rhythms and Afrobeat percussion to Latin funk and Mediterranean house. Every track feels like sunlight breaking through November clouds, a reminder that rhythm travels further than we do.

Global music isn’t just about sound, it’s about connection. You’ll catch yourself smiling at strangers, moving just a little, forgetting the cold outside. 🥁 It’s community in motion.

Ambient, Dub & Beyond - Where Sound Turns Cinematic

On nights with Sebastian Holm, the energy softens into something hypnotic. Ambient and dub music unfold slowly, layers of echo, deep bass, and air. It’s less about dancing, more about feeling.

These sets are the heartbeat of late November - introspective, modern, and strangely comforting. They’re the sound of candlelight, steam on windows, and the clink of a wine glass in good company.

🌙 The quieter it gets, the deeper it feels.

Música Popular Brasileira - Soul from the South

When DJ Roope Pokki spins Brazilian grooves, Third Place glows. MPB - Música Popular Brasileira - blends samba, jazz, and bossa nova into something both playful and poetic. It’s rhythmic without being loud, full of syncopation and sunshine.

It’s the perfect soundtrack for a long dinner with friends - joyful, colorful, but still intimate.

💃 It makes even Helsinki feel a little tropical..

The Third Place Sound

What ties it all together isn’t genre - it’s feeling. Every DJ who steps behind the decks at Third Place brings warmth, curiosity, and soul. They play vinyl because they love imperfection - the soft crackle between songs, the tactile rhythm of real sound.

Music here doesn’t compete with conversation. It joins it, flowing between bites of pasta and bursts of laughter. Because at Third Place, every record spun and every glass poured is part of the same story.

Come find your rhythm, from Italian disco to ambient dub, from vinyl soul to global beats. At Third Place Helsinki, the music is as hand-crafted as the pasta.
