*** NOW WITH ADDED DOWNLOAD GOODNESS *** 

Manfredas' EP 'Pink Industry' - the second release from Ivan Smagghe's new label Les Disques De La Mort - has been getting us all hot under the proverbial collar - it's summer now so less shirts are being worn.

Now, the rather fine Lithuanian producer has gifted us an exclusive remix of Finnish wunderkind Jaakko Eino Kalev for all you lovely R$N-ers to hear.  

Feast your ears on this sublime piece of sunshine-fuelled Finnish pop. Funny how a few solar beams of light outside turn this from glacial to sunshine-fuelled.

Pink Industry is out now, available on vinyl only. 
For more information, check out the Les Disques De La Mort website.

Premiere: Jaakko Eino Kalevi - No End (Manfredas Remix)

Quasi-experimental track on Les Disques De La Mort. Superb bass coming in at 0:48, make sure you have an appropriate sound system. This is insane and deep music (the major drop is at 2:58).

Pink Industry - Manfredas - FRATM004

God bless you Manfredas. You are a man of true intrigue, interest and purveyor of fine aural delights. Your music extends far beyond your Lithuanian base, Vilnius and your club-night Smala at Opium Club. You have already blessed our ears with fine excursions on Ivan Smagghe's Le Disques De La Mort. You have also remixed the likes of Jaakko Eino Kalevi and given us a free download of it. You've been out on the ice making videos for your records and your Pink Industry outpouring has even been PIMPED.  You've even been in the national Lithuanian charts with a cover version of "Vamos ala playa" and hit number 19. Luckily nobody knows it was you.
Now you have taken the time to put us together a fine hour long mix of music from the outer reaches of your mind. You are a kind man. You are also a man of great taste.

Manfredas Interview

Manfredas - The Ransom Note Mix

6 E.P. III is the latest single to be taken from Headman’s 6 album, released last year on Relish.

Following on from 6 EPI and 6 EPII (who'd'a guessed it...) 6 EP lll is coming as a full digital release, along with 200 12" copies housed in specially screen printed artwork from Headman. The release has 3 remixes by Manfredas, Alejandro Paz, Shift Work and a couple of extra re-works/ dubs from Headman.

For our premier we've gone with the Manfredas mix of WORK, and we've gone with it because it's a demented piece of post punk genius that rifles through the pockets of Fad Gadget's chilling corpse whilst sucking on a clockwork cigar. It sounds like the music for nightclubs that only scary people and the wrong kind of drug buckets frequent, and is probably one of the best things we've heard all year. We're sure you'll agree.

Listeners familiar with Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith's previous album Euclid (an album that prompted Dazed to call her "…one of the most pioneering musicians in the world.") will no doubt notice her heavier use of vocals on her new album EARS.  On all but one song, her gently ecstatic swells of vocals emerge to soar over a dense jungle of synths and woodwinds.

After initially composing on a Buchla analog synth, she wrote arrangements for a woodwind quintet, added vocals, and further refined the pieces with granular synthesis techniques she developed in her sound design work (she contributed sound design to Panda Bear's "Boys Latin" video, and handled sound design and original compositions for Brasilia co-written by and starring Reggie Watts).   

Kinetic arpeggios of synths pulse, often buoying her graceful vocal mantras, while woodwinds breathe and flutter, emulating the wildlife Smith observed while growing up on the West Coast (she even studied recordings of slowed down bird calls prior to composing these pieces).   Though some of her gestures echo the musical tropes used by early minimalist composers, the world she creates on EARS is uniquely hypnotic and full of life, not unlike Miyzaki's film Nausicaä, which she cites as an inspiration.

The dawn of Multi Culti’s six-part astrological epic kicks off with exotic neo-hippie modulations from elusive genius Zongamin, mighty night-pirate Manfredas, and the shamanically selective hosts Dreems and Mister Thomas, Von Party. Manfredas lights a stick of incense on Glasswalk, a musical memoir of riding a crack pipe out of an opium den in the slums of Mumbai. True story.

The Star Nation Language is sound frequencies which appear as three- dimensional holograms of specific colors of light. The two- dimensional forms of these sound frequencies are used in sacred geometry, pictographs, and sacred symbols of power. 
The Star Nation Language appears in the crystal skulls, orb photos, crop circles, holograms of pure light, cymatic symbols and ancient pictographs all over the world.

The caves of Botuto loomed ominously above the sea, their black, murky depths swallowed up the water and sight was lost amidst the darkness. The waves roared coarsely in his ears as they clattered against the rugged cliff face, this was unchartered territory, no human had ever entered the Botuto. They would soon find out how deep the rabbit hole beneath the water would go. 

'Schaum' is the latest release to emerge from the Faitiche records camp. It sees masayoshi Fujita and Jan Jelinke get weird and wonderful across a sprawling assortment of music which comes in at just under an hour.

Manfredas goes for a couple of rounds in the Multi Culti traveller portal. Fighting and dancing are 2 things that flow through this man's blood in equal parts and all who have seen both in action at the same time can easily attest to this man being commonly referred to as 'The Champ' .

SUNDAY MORNING - 24 - Manfredas

Manfredas. 
There was some debate going around on how to tame this wild, free-wheeling cowboy. What were we to do ? Narcotize his beer with valium ? Hypnotize him and feed him yoga ? Mesmerize him into a state of cool-as-a-cucumber-calm ?
Well it seems he has the power - deep inside him to even temper the most savage of beasts. A tranquil harmony washes over this mix exposing another raw side of this complex being. The man that is fredas...

BIS Radio Show #902 with Manfredas

Whether it’s chugging cold wave, slow-mo electro or warped neo-trance, the music Manfredas writes and spins maintains a wild off-kilter charm that makes him one of the most exciting DJ/producers on the planet right now.

After playing on the radio circuit in Lithuania since he was just 13 years old, his name was launched to the world through the release of 'Pink Industry' on Ivan Smagghe and Leon Oakey's prolific Les Disques De La Mort imprint in 2016. The EP introduced his unique brand of freaky psychedelia that borrows the best of new wave, leftfield disco, synth-pop, krautrock and more and molds them into motorik dancefloor gold.

With a collection of artists from his home city of Vilnius, Manfredas also runs the Smala parties at Opium Club, which celebrates its fifth birthday at the Garzen Festival at the end of January with Red Axes, Abrão (live), local heroes 12 Inčų Po Žeme and more. The club - cited by numerous discerning selectors as one of their favorite places to play on the planet - is also where Manfredas spins many of his famed marathon sets, which have led to him being referred to as the 'people's champion' in his home town.

Latest episode of my NTS show. Sounds from future past, new music by me, microdosing and all sorts of lituanika.

NTS RADIO 23.05.19

Manfredas and Vilnius are not one and the same but so intrinsically linked that the Lithuanian capital makes a good starting point. Although, Manfredas got his first musical experience via his hometown radio (long shifts soundtracking a country exploding itself out of the Soviet glaciation), it was his move to Vilnius that started it all. 

Skip a few shifts at legendary club Gravity and an electroclash band and we get to Opium and Smala. It is quite hard to fathom how important the club and Manfredas’ imprint were to the Vilnius nightlife, and still are. For years, this was the party and what a party that was; creating a scene out of not much, educating a couple of generation of clubbers, tightening friendships and making Manfredas the international DJ he is today. For many, it made Vilnius unexpectedly the best clubbing city in the world.

After a string of solo releases and remixes aimed at the furthest corners of the dancefloor, Manfredas took a deep breath and reached out even beyond that furthest corner. With drummer Marijus Aleksa, he created Santaka, an organic/electronic post-jazz (insert whatever term you please) with releases on Byrd Out and legendary Finnish label Sahko, and a live project where the dance floor and non-dancefloor merge hypnotically.

When Manfredas co-created Radio Vilnius in 2021, a hub for experimental music in a dire national landscape, it was another way to pay his dues to the local scene. Born online, Radio Vilnius has now launched it's own record label, inaugurated by Santaka themselves.

When The Last Smala happened in 2020, Manfredas & Ivan Smagghe created a new party outfit: Dresden, a bastard child of Vilnius and London, mother of all nighters, designer of t-shirts, travelling circus (from Love International to Wonderfruit, Glastonbury to Sonar). More hours put in for unruly people, more psychedelic music, including a two-day “weekender” at Gallery, the new hyper-club opened by the Opium crew.

Jack of all trades but master of many (we haven’t talked about his love of food), you can find Manfredas touring the world searching for that extra sparkle and sharing it with all of us.
