DJ $TOCKER is awkward-winning international Internet figure, a blurry celluloid who fights demons like mom. One of the biggest influences for Mr. DJ $TOCKER are money, avant-garde music and cinema like short movie “Outer Space”. His sounds lead to some kind of paranoia of unpretentious eyeless angel. Some say he is just a meditational cocktail of runny nose in this chaotic modern shopping culture. 

DJ $TOCKER - in terms of music - is not about something to get scared of. It is more about getting confused and wondering what those uncomfortable compositions are trying to say. But maybe they do not mean anything at all. It is more about the exploration of the “sense and nonsense”, where the significant dissonance between the spectator and events creates a huge disruption of the ability to be sucked in. The dark side of the stock is used as a resistance to the normal music rules, conception of this medium and more importantly – comprehension of human factor as “non-creative”. 

DJ $TOCKER’s latest EP is dedicated for the political madness partly created over social media. This confusion is reflected in his creative process, which reminds a situation where dozen opened tabs with looped audio sounds have no ability to be closed. You are trapped and you are already dead. 


Here some quotes of famous people about Mr. DJ $TOCKER: 

“He inspires me” 
— Friends 

“My coffee never tasted better” 
— A big fan 

“Really helped to fight my demons” 
— DJSiuze

Pure Echo Podcast #015 - Mantas T.

It all started such a long time ago, that most of us were just taking the first steps to the music world Already back then, Mantas as a teenager, was hitchhiking to his first raves in various Lithuanian cities to dance, perform or just to have a good time. Now everything changed - hitchhiking changed by planes, cities changed by countries, but Mantas remained faithful to himself, to music and to us - music lovers. In the words of the performer, the constant progress and evolution of music is a key factor that drives him. "Music is a universal language that transcends all the barriers that we present ourselves. So much for beliefs, culture, religion and age. And in general, there is no bad music, all music is good at the right time and in the right place". Numerous experiences, trends, nostalgic, adolescent, 90's "rave" sounds, reborn in the jungle, trance, or hardcore rhythms, help unleash the unexpected surprises of Mantas T. They make things more attractive in this world of musical freedom. No matter how paradoxical it may sound, but change is the only constant thing. That is why the Partizan credo is "Constant Sound Revolt", to which to this day Mantas believes in. This mix reflects Mantas current musical quests for what sets him on, surprises, revives or inspires him. Perhaps it's a record, spontaneously discovered in a music store, or a track unexpectedly found in Bandcamp. "A symphony of sounds sends goosebumps upon the back of the head, that was common in early career days". The physical sensation or feeling of what music can be is the greatest ambition of Mantas. The performer is noticing a tendency - we all crave everything and quickly. But most of all we want emotions and feelings. With technology, we can experience and feel more things. Enjoy them longer and get everything faster - all of which is wonderful. The ability to manage these experiences, prioritize them, makes going with the flow a pleasure. As Dj Harve once said: "The good times are now" and certainly if we manage to find a balance  - "the good times are always now".

Painting by Viktorija Zevakinaitė. This drawing reflects the thought of contacting music through the subconscious painting brushstrokes made by playful hands. Music attracts you and makes you sink deeper and more oblivious. As you erase this world and give birth to desire, look at what awaits you on the other side of the darkness.

We're proud to present our ambitious project, that will let you dive even deeper into the electronic music reaches. Mindless Intent mix series is meant to set free and unleash all of Dj/producer`s potential of the unconstrained magic of music. No limits, no borders! We expect that this music project not only will attract people to take an interest in music and its creators but will familiarize everyone with every aspect of electronic music

A sound clash of genre-agnostic colourful “Uncharted Territories” EP finally follows-up with additional remixes. Jacques Satre from Worst Records brings his signature sound flip that makes “How Do You Called It” into Saint-Etienne’s chillout scene anthem. Five Rituals modifies “Eating Knives” into an experimental bass sound with half-time beat clocking into chugging tempo and weird Lithuanian pop figure appearing between powerful room shaking basslines. Shkema makes the most psychedelic version of "Eating Knives" so far. Phun Thomas revision got a fat acid facelift and “Thrillingly Twisted Uncharted Territories” by DJ JM is club-ready amen break dj tool revision to original. Finally, Jaroska revisits his own “Eating Knives” one more time to bring into the 80's territory with fuzzed guitars and lyrics that tells the hard truth about most common lifestyle in our club culture.
