Support if wanted

Vilnius-based record label Good Skills presents a five-a-side of solid grooves with a trademark Made in Lithuania. From slow and low to high and tight, 'Sekta' is a compilation of organic textures and inviting rhythms, created by the up-and-coming local talents.

The opening track delves into the 'Emotions' of Shurmin Nikita. A proper intro builds on catchy breaks with distant vocals and a slo-mo that lends a funky vibe.

Up next is Zakmina, one of the most-talked-about producers from Lithuania.'Dykuma' (Desert) is a promising collab with egoistic punk band EGOMAŠINA. Every chord in this tune is a reminder of what a remarkable friendship between electronic music and garage rock can be.

'Georgian Dumplings' have been cooked somewhere in Copenhagen and smuggled straight into the Good Skills office by two re-emigrants, who call themselves Deserted Island. Mellow and acoustic, it simply sounds tasty. 'Vaikų Ligoninė' (Children's hospital) is Shkema at his best: ghostly vocals, pitched drums, and unpredictable flow tells another weird story from parallel universe.

Last but not least are Bojarchük and his 'Force'. A full-time medical specialist delivers a surgically accurate yet fast-and-furious heavyweight, which has the potential to become ultimate dancefloor filler.

PREMIERE : Zakmina feat. Egomašina - Dykuma

Curated by none other than future Lithuania’s President and Vice-President, Roe Deers (SXDNS138) and Titas Motuzas, Good Skills presents its brand-new VA release: “Sekta”, a five-track EP devoted to showcasing the finest of what the country has to offer when it comes to underground electronic music. Shurmin Nikita, Zakmina feat. EGOMAŠINA, Deserted Island, Shkema, and Bojarchük spared no efforts to deliver high-quality themes to the compilation by presenting their own characteristic sonorities that resulted in a rich tapestry of inventiveness and ingenuity – exactly what the label has envisioned since its foundation in 2019.

The track we were solicited to premiere comes from the uneasy mind of “weird producer and weird DJ” Shkema, whose most notable previous works can be found on NEIN Records, City Noises, and Good Skills itself.

For his contribution to the VA, he created “Vaikų Ligoninė” (meaning “Children's Hospital” in English); “Shkema at his best”, according to the PR text: Ghostly vocals, pitched drums, and an unpredictable flow tells another weird story from a parallel universe – his.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://goodskills.bandcamp.com/music

Būna Dienos

According to Nikita, this song was written in the attic of his dad’s house. His family’s old pictures show that this was the space, where various discotheques were taking place, when he was a kid. The house was old, but everything was new to Nikita. This space inspired him to start experimenting with music, so he turned it into DIY music studio, and this particular song was one of the first jams after deciding to turn to dancey music and playing around with drum machine. Here Nikita sings about very relatable topic – sometimes there are days when you simply cannot stop dancing. Everyone has been there, right?
