Finally a new DJ mix:
This is 90% the selection played at Outro Lado on Thursday afternoon at Waking Life 2022. Thanks to the fantastic crowd for the open-mindedness and the energetic dancing. Also much appreciated the various personal feedback!
You can do me a favour and listen to it in full without skipping at least once. I feel it's quite a trip.

Lastly thanks to the charismatic organisers and the Giegling crew for the huge effort in realising this festival and keeping the spirit alive.

Big hugs, MP

The Outro Lado Session

Live set recorded from WAKING LIFE festival 2022

Molly LIVE set @ Waking Life 2022 - Outro Lado

This is the second time I've spent my birthday weekend playing a set at Heideglühen, and I don't think I could spend the very beginning of my 30s in a better place. I'm so happy and grateful to have this amazing opportunity to play at my favourite club in the world, a club that feels like home, where I'm loved and appreciated. 

This is a re-recorded set inspired by the music I played at Heide on the 2nd of November, it’s not a recording from a club. 

I love you all, 
Ela xx 

P.S - if it's nice, play it twice

inspired by what I played at heideglühen, 2 pm

To set the mood for the weekend ahead, № 29 introduces one of the most prominent figures in the Lithuanian music scene, @manfredas.

Once a great salesman of plastic vampire teeth, Manfredas has been rocking the radio waves for as long as we can remember, running residencies at all of the major clubs and supporting the likes of Lenny Kravitz, Andrew Weatherall and Chemical Brothers on tour.

These days, Manfredas and the gang run '@ smalasmala' club night, home to @colonelgatito, @redaxes, @danielavery and many more.

№ 29 - Manfredas

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' .

‘It’s almost two hours long, so that nobody has to work anymore’, said Manfredas upon delivering this.

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...

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.
