GARS RECORDS RELEASES

Inspired by sentimental sounds, this EP features energetic, modern rhythms designed to envelop listeners in darker spaces. Embark on a musically abstract trip as a "Voyager," where you may encounter lurking sounds in the dark deep, yet retain the sensational ability to keep moving forward. Taking matters into your own hands, you might want to "Sink In" and take immediate action. Feel the need to "Recharge" with bursts of energy, accompanied by sounds of steel to propel you forward. When you feel the "Thermal" heat and the vibrating explosions coursing through your body, the urge to go "Further" intensifies, with no intention of stopping. And when you find yourself in a safe and contented place, you "Shine," basking in warmth and feeling wholly welcomed.

KIPRONNO Bio


Kipronno is a new musical project that focuses on movement oriented but also storytelling techno music. With a fair amount of experience in the music field, he aims to combine his understanding with new technology that comes along the way. Kipronno aka Kipras developed a fascination with music at a young age, becoming a resident DJ at his local club when he was just a teenager. Continuing his music journey, he moved to London where he finished a Music Production and Technology course and performed in multiple clubs and bars such as Shelter, Egg, Traffic and Ministry of Sound under a project called Empathy Slow. Later Kipras moved up north to study at Edge Hill University where he completed a Media, Music and Sound degree. This provided him with a broader musical exploration and taught him more about synthesis and live performance. While living in the north of England, Kipras occasionally DJ’ed in local clubs and on radio shows. Since returning to Lithuania, he has played in Yaga Gathering festival, private events and in Haxan Club where he performed as Kipronno officially for the first time.

He is very excited to shift his focus to the genre that speaks to him the most and present his Debut EP “Voyager” including six original tracks that tell us a story of a journey with a bumpy ride and the will to reach your destination.

A standout cut from the Gars of Gars compilation.

Bondarük, known for his deep-rooted connection to Argentina's underground rave culture and tasteful approach to techno—always forward-thinking, but with deep respect for the genre’s classic rawness.

This track is a haunting groove that feels like a memory looping through a broken tape deck.
Febrero Del 93 is percussive, paranoid, and emotional—but it leaves space for the listener to interpret it themselves. A track that doesn't beg for attention—it lingers, stings, and stays.

Long


Started djing in 1997 in Kaunas, Lithuania. Since the early nineties he was regular at various rave parties and were heavily influenced by Detroit Techno and the likes of Acid House.


“I still remember clearly the feeling when I was entering rave parties at the time. It was a very young scene. The music, the people, the atmosphere and djs too were the ones responsible for the chaos and braking the borders of country’s long lived soviet oppression. It was a new generation growing up.” – notes Mantas T.Few years later it was a new experience living outside the country. Mantas T. was gone to the States (New York) and later to the UK where he faced the beginning of 80’s revival.In 2004, Mantas came back in his homeland, Lithuania. Based in Vilnius, with a fresh experience and a record bag full of cutting-edge beats, his dj sets became acclaimed nationwide. With his TV and radio appearances, demo mixes and self-irony, Mantas became a well-known resident of the first Lithuanian underground nightclub Gravity. The first club night called “Revolt” brought a lot of spark into the lithuanian music scene. Partyzanai, as party promoters, invited local Djs and international guests such as Damian Lazarus, Marc Almond, Steve Kotey, The Orb, Daniel Bell, Ewan Pearson, Jori Hulkkonen.In summer 2005,  Mantas T. with his colleague Gvidas established a non-profit netlabel under the name of Partyzanai. Initial label’s purpose is 24/7 search and releases of electronic music artists in Baltic region. Having the first album release of the artist named Golden Parazyth, Partyzanai netlabel was widely acclaimed nationwide. Another netlabel artist’s – Few Nolder – single “No mo”  and fresh new album “New Folder” is already out on legendary Planet MU label. 
In 2006-2009 as well as djing abroad, Mantas T. successfully organised the local night series. Focusing on good music quality and live visuals, it soon became the hottest night in town with the Lithuanian VJ teams Rüt Rüt and Vodka Jugend. Mantas T. was involved in guest appearances and live acts of Andrew Weatherall, Keith Tenniswood , Ivan Smagghe, Joakim, Funkstörung, Kiki, Swayzak, Phonique, Tiefschwarz, My My, Roman Flügel, Optimo , Superpitcher, Apparat, Nathan Fake, Troy Pierce, Ada, Pilooski, Faze Action, Toby Tobias, Jennifer Cardini, Tobias Thomas, Alex Smoke to name a few. Mantas T. traveled as far as Iceland. Played in “Scene: NRW” contemporary art festival and C/O POP festival in Germany.
 
In year 2008 love brought Mantas T.  to Cologne. Recently, besides running his own label, he is a resident and promoter of mobile audio-visual project called Go Gaga.
 
Mantas T. plays just vinyls: from obscure disco to techno. Wide spectrum of sound in short.
