Pootis, a.k.a. Pasi Pajumäki, comes from Helsinki, Finland. He was born in 1989. Despite wide experimentation in his youth, he never quite found a musical home – that is, until the fall of 2015, when he decided to dig into the wonders of mixing. The search was over. In November of the same year, Pootis started practicing in earnest with a new friend who was also getting started with DJing at the time. Mutual encouragement helped keep them both excited about playing. The fruit of that excitement is Rude Tune Crew, a DJ collective they have founded.

Diligent practice quickly bore results, and despite being nervous, Pootis nailed his first shows and was cheered on by both friends and colleagues. It was fuel to an already bright fire, and he rushed on toward new experiences. Some highlights for him in 2016 were playing at the afterparty of Avalon's and Laughing Buddha's show and in a minimal techno event starring Daniel Portman, whereas in 2017, he stepped on stage after Infected Mushroom and before Ace Ventura and Vini Vici in Tampere's largest indoor venue and later in December as a support for Droplex and Patrik Söderbom. In addition to these breathtaking moments, he has played in some smaller psytrance festivals and numerous club shows. Other mentions: support dj for Skazi in turku 2018, support for Juan Verdera in Israel 2018.

Pootis seems to be showered with as many shows as he can play. Besides being a warm person and very entertaining company, his assets include catchingly energetic stage presence as well as a wide genre repertoire from psytrance to minimal techno, jungle, and liquid drum and bass. What inspires Pootis to keep playing and developing is the audience: it is rewarding to see people dance with smiles on their faces. In both playing and organizing parties, the audience is his priority. His philosophy is to throw the funniest nights possible at the lowest possible expense.

Pootis constantly gains more experience of organizing events in the DJ collective Rude Tune Crew. The crew is a hot issue in its hometown Tampere. They hold events of an ever widening array of theme concepts and genres: from regular Thursday bashes to unique, thoughtfully designed party experiences like the Techtonic techno nights. The growing band of DJs, constantly bringing forth all sorts of fresh, intriguing, and bold sounds, RTC is a proper cornucopia of talent, passion, and awesome personalities; a perfect place for someone like Pootis to fit in and feel at home.

In summer 2018 Pootis was enlisted to CLH Records label
