PARTYZANAI | ARTISTS

FEW NOLDER / LIVE

Few Nolder - a simple phrase without any straight meaning. The start of this one-man project came into public view accidentally. After a mini track presentation on a non-commercial Lithuanian site ore.lt, it was well known djs and promoters, Partyzanai, who were the first to notice something different in the sound of FN. Everything from ambient minimal to eclectic techno whilst modifying most of the traditional ways of expressing electronic music styles.

SOY FARM / LIVE

Early musical experiments by Soya (Aivaras Onaitis, Vytis Puronas) rapidly spread amongst the fans of electronic music nearly a decade ago. Employing the sounds of Lithuanian analogue synthesizers and robotic vocals the duo defined their unique style positioning themselves between Lithuanian pop and underground music. Later, pausing the studio practice for some years the pair engaged in various projects with other collaborators and delved into vast field of electronic music – from club dance music (Soya Modifed) to wall of guitar sound (The Headandshoulders), from glitch techno (Lumotree) to field recordings and video experiments.

INFEKTION / LIVE

Infektion is an example of Globalization. In Telsiai - the capital of Somogitia (western region of Lithuania) - born Tomas Taujanskis develops his own sound, which varies between classic Detroit and Dub techno.

His interest in electronic music began in 2005 in the age of 15 together with minimal techno revival. From year 2006 Tomas dived into music making software. Ableton was the key, which opened the doors to passion of music creation. Rather than following Electro and New-Rave trends, Tomas was more inspired by classic minimal and dub techno artists like Plastikman, Basic Channel, Rhythm&Sound, Chain Reaction, Maurizio. The result of this is Infektion.

GVIDAS / DJ

First big raves in early teenage years. Meeting new likeminded friends. Innocent conversations about music, not drugs. It all seemed like a brand new world to explore. Fell in love for underground music ever since.

Rather big influence of Detroit legends like Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills, Derrick May as well as the early works of Warp label. Started buying vinyl records nearly starving and spending school lunch money. Invited by Kaunas city heroes Dj Zveriukai started playing at rave parties back in 1997. Persuaded a good friend Mantas to dj together as a team called Partyzanai.
