[GARS012+LP] ĄNIS - I Swear I'm Not Delusional (LP)  SPOTLIGHT

Ąnis is a Lithuanian producer and DJ working in the space between broken rhythms and atmospheric weight. His tracks blur the line between club tools and introspective pieces - raw, textured, and unpolished in the best way.

The debut album “I Swear I’m Not Delusional” builds from late-night sketches into fully formed pressure systems. Ambient passages fall into break-driven grooves, each track shifting like a mood swing. It's rooted in tension, repetition, and space - think the grit and movement of early Skee Mask filtered through a more personal, less polished lens. Tracks like “Mountain People” carry warmth without needing to explain themselves, while others feel like they were made at 3am with no lights on. It’s not chasing a scene - just locked into its own pulse. This isn’t background music. It asks you to sit with it - or move to it. Either way, it sticks. More info at www.garsrecords.com

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.

Having started his musical career as a disc jockey already in 2005, El Harmony (real name Māris Laizāns) has already managed to accumulate a lot of experience during his DJ career. Since 2022, he hosts his radio show Nakts Ritmi on Kurzemes radio.

He has played at many different events and clubs, thus constantly expanding and developing his vision of developments in dance music trends. This is clearly reflected in his dj-sets. They are very diverse and musically colorful - from airy and calm deep house vibrations to energetic techno, progressive rhythms.

This musical diversity is also manifested in the selection of musical material - the main criterion for music being the quality indicators rather than popularity. That's why in El Harmony's sets you can hear how a modern dance hit is followed by a 10-year-old song, because the main thing is a musically interesting and full of positive emotions dj-set!
