Italians have a reputation for being passionate about everything they do, as the intensity with which they care about something is unrivaled. So, when the topic revolves around these wonderful aural offerings we tend to love so deeply, the stakes are even higher and the feeling grows even stronger. Such is the essence of the relationship this Milanese duo developed with music from the outset and exactly what nurtures their unwavering sentiment towards these elements that move us so effortlessly. After all, it is nothing but true devotion that you could expect from anyone naming their project Eternal Love, one that is present in all of their endeavours, from the prolific partnerships with fellow countrymen from Burro Studio to their lovely edits of rare rhythmic nuggets to splendid mixes such as this one. The pulse throughout is constant without rendering it strenuous, thanks to the attention to detail that turns linearity into energy and a delicate sensibility attuned to the ebb and flow of what makes an enthralling narrative something absolutely mesmerising.

Gop Cast 069 - Eternal Love

Welcome to the Windy City and the manufacturing belt, straight out the midwest 🌬 
The rap scene here wasn’t established yet during the mid-90’s, grabbing influences from NY and LA, still looking to find its own trademark. It was mostly gangsta rap sounding a lot like your typical californian signature, some more conventional production inspired by the eastern conference, and many in-betweeners. 
This recollection tends to point out a large panorama of tracks, think about it more as a collage and a mosaic, a plural entity. It reminds us about inner city social issues such as schizophrenia. It’s, in the end, the tale of two cities merged together, a manic dychotomia. One is giving a proud message about its territorial background and norms, the other one is preaching peace, asking for a better future. 

Goddamn, these evil spirits got me fighting for my life.

RADIO.D59B / SUNDAY DRIPPIN' w/ Whoann

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.
