Une chronique que j'ai eu du mal à écrire. S'exprimer, c'est prendre le risque de déplaire. Le féminisme et le voyage, c'est un sujet pas facile à partager ...

#24 Nawell, les gens et le féminisme

EXEM is one of the most famous electronic music bands on the Lithuanian scene, formed in 1992 by Mindaugas "Cross" Kazakevičius and Matas Petrikas.

In 1997, EXEM released their third album called Stereo. A track called Africa became historic when it reached the first place in the TOP40 of the national radio station M-1. It was the first time in history that a Lithuanian artist reached the NO 1 position.

Edit is made to remember the good old days and balaced for summer dance.

Meet Matas Petrikas, a music producer, DJ, and book author with a passion for electronic music. Born in Lithuania during the time when it was still a part of the Soviet Union, Matas began experimenting with electronic sounds during his teenage years. Using self-built instruments and recording equipment, he embarked on a journey that would shape his entire career.

In 1991, Matas took a trip to Berlin that would change his life forever. There, he encountered the early years of techno culture, which inspired him immensely. In the early 90s, he co-founded EXEM, one of the first house and techno bands in the former Soviet space. With EXEM, Matas was one of the pioneers of electronic dance music in Lithuania, and by the end of the decade, they had achieved numerous hits with their original tracks and remix productions. They performed live shows ranging from intimate clubs to massive arenas, seeding the seeds of the local electronic music scene.

In 2000, Matas decided to relocate to Berlin, where he began working on internet projects for global brands and government institutions. Despite this career change, electronic music remained an integral part of his life, now from a technological standpoint. From 2008 to 2014, he joined the early SoundCloud team, tapping into his passion for sound and contributing to the platform's development.

After leaving SoundCloud, Matas started his own company, focusing on building sustainable educational toys for children. However, in recent years, he has found his way back to electronic music. Matas has returned as both a producer and DJ, immersing himself in the sounds of techno, electro and house. Additionally, he has also become an author, writing a book titled 'The Joy of Electronic Music,' which delves into the intricacies and delights of music creation.
