Video: Leon Somov vs Xuman - Askan Wi

Our friend Leon Somov still pushing the mark. Here's a video for his track 'Askan Wi' from the new album 'No batteries no toys'. Vocals by Senegalian talent Xuman (http://www.myspace.com/xuman), video directed by Ricardas Matacius (www.fivedots.lt ).

Video: Leon Somov & Jazzu - Journey

Leon Somov has a brand new video, directed by Dovydas Augaitis. I really love the fact it was shot in my hometown - Klaipeda. You can see nice bits of it too from the top floor terrace of the Dr. Who club, where the gig took place.

Video: Metal On Metal - Damn!

The Metal on Metal guys just released a new video for their upcoming EP on Skint records. The track itself sounds like a Gogol Bordello song remixed by Ed Banger guys, an explosive potential I'd say!

Video: Mario Basanov & Vidis Ft Kathy Diamond - In My System (Make You Move)

Mario & Vidis did it again, this time the vocals provided by Kathy Diamond. Notice the Giorgio Moroder & Larry Levan influences? It's nice to hear that Vidis interest in the early electronic dance music transformed his own sound too.



Update: and here's the official video for the track, directed by Rudolfas Levulis.

Audio: Lucy Hunt

Lately, while wandering through the musical depths of SoundCloud I've stumbled on this wonderful album. It seems to be still in a production, but already now you can hear the potential. I'm looking forward in hearing more from Lucy Hunt.

And there's a mysterious video attached to it too:

Video: Mario Basanov & Vidis feat. Jazzu - Who's Shot The Silence

Finally a follow up to the last year's hit 'I'll be gone'! The very same team delivered a more electro/dub sounding 'Who's Shot The Silence'. Though I'm pretty sure there's going to be many other versions of the track coming up lately this year - you can certainly imagine these great vocals by Jazzu on the house beats too. Also note how the new video references the old one.

Audio: Adam Tensta - Little bit of room

I was surprised to find out that my old (bootleg) remix of Lykke Li is still making some rounds on the net. Now it's a swedish hip-hop star Adam Tensta doing some freestyle over the track. I like this weird mix of dance, hip-hop and electro. Check it out:

Music: Tomas Teex - Inside the Pavilion Vol. 1

An old friend of mine and one of the pioneers of lithuanian electronic scene Tomas Teex decided it's time for his comeback as a DJ. He uploaded his new set onto SoundCloud just a few days ago, and I was just blown away by it. Tomas moved from vynil to Traktor now, but instead of lazy track panning you hear from the most computer jockeys, he's really using the software to create something new and exciting. Although I wouldn't agree with every track he's got there, I totally love the way it works as a whole - it's club music, it's experimental, it's cinematic.

Audio: Goldfrapp - Little Bird (Matas Ornitologic Remix)

This one was waiting to be finished since april, and I'really happy to have it ready at last. Ladies and Gentelmen - Goldfrapp:

'Guitar' is one of these tracks you can't get out of your head, after you heard it once. I usually deal with this problem by making a remix. Original on youtube.

Audio: Matas Live @ Gravity club, Vilnius 30.05.2008

This was my first club gig with a new material. It's a very nice feeling, to play live again. Though there's still a lot of work to do.

Video: Mario Basanov & V1d1s feat. Jazzu - I'll be gone

There seems to be an explosion of good music from Lithuania recently. And again it has Jazzu in it, and Mario Basanov with Vidis producing. And there's this video. Wow! I'm going to Vilnius next week, already looking forward on meeting these guys. See you in Gravity!

Video: Leon Somov feat Jazzu - Mano (remake)

And here's another fantastic production from Lithuania. Leon Somov is the guy behind this track, featuring vocals by Jazzu. The smooth video was produced by the guys from Geri Filmai.

Audio: Lykke Li - Little Bit (Matas Berlin remix)

After many long hours in front of Ableton Live screen, as promised here's my remix of Lykke Li song. I hope, you'll like it.

p.s. just to clear it - it's not an official remix. If you like it, buy the original.

Video: Song as a Living Organism

I've just found this generative animation by flight404. He programmed it using Processing language. The result is a stunning, metaphysical movie, pulsating with every beat and syllable of the song. It would be nice to put some other tracks through this procedure too.

Music is by Goldfrapp 'Lovely Head'. Enjoy!

Video: Shinichi Osawa - Star Guitar

Shinichi Osawa (aka Mondo Grosso) covers 'Star Guitar' by Chemical Brothers. It's not that common for electronic acts to do covers of other electronic artists, but this track works pretty well. I've heard it for the first time on Pete Tongs Essential Selection.

Video: In the mood for...

Last year, Inga Liksaite had this idea of stitching(!) stills from Wong Kar-Wais movie In the Mood for Love. Later, she met with Claudia Rohrmoser and Ina Viola Blasius in Austria, where they produced this textiles/video/audio mashup.



Check out the other works by Inga, to get an impression about her handmade photorealistic textiles.

Video: Happyendless - Power Forever

One more band from Vilnius, Lithuania. Happyendless. I knew these guys for 10 years, and it was exciting to observe their musical development. They went through the all possible sound and style transformations in their time, but still managed to keep on a high performance level. Their new sound is more mature and the same time it's fresh, as mainstream as it can be, without betraying their roots.
