It's getting cold in here, so time for another LAYER. Lithuania's Circus Operandi duo offers a warm blanket for camping so you can stay outside and listen to their selection of bird calls, seaside chill, and foresty jams.

Donatas Chipak and Titas Tumosa are well-established DJs in the Vilnius scene, with sparks flying since they first met. After DJing together a couple of times, they decided to give it a shot at making music. Initial experiments were exciting, but it was difficult to maintain consistency online as Donatas lived in the UK at the time, so in the middle of a pandemic, they set up a studio in Vilnius Old Town, and Circus Operandi was born.

Debut records are on the way and should hit the shelves in 2022. You can also catch them every second Thursday evening on a freshly formed but already beloved by many Radio Vilnius.

MM CAST 04: Franz Scala

From his studio at the (infamous) berliner club "Sameheads" , Franz Scala has been building with years a great reputation on the contemporary "Italo-Dance-scene", being the mind behind 2 essential labels as "Slow Motion" and "Wrong Era". Artists like "Fabrizio Mammarella", "Francisco" or "Rodion", to name a few, have been rising as a part of the Italian family that Scala has created with "Slow Motion".

Imprints as "Bordello A Parigi", "Tusk Wax", "Bahnsteig 23" or "MM Discos" have had the pleasure of hosting the Italian maestro, signing there remarkable records. Italian dance highly influenced by new wave, obscure synths and a little balearic touch.

We are very happy to have Franz for the 4th episode of our monthly "MM Casts", doing what he knows best, and inviting us to a space oddity thru wave, synth pop and of course...italo disco baby ;)

Here you have a delightful mix by Tadas Quazar! 

He made the first steps on the outskirts of Tokyo. Then spent a long stay under the shields of the great dukes of Vilnius and now he's breaking new ground somewhere in the south of Europe.  

Tadas is resident of the notorious night club Opium (Vilnus); the herald of the unfair event series "Juoduomenė"; A local in Radio Vilnius.

A wanderer of night clubs and bars in the Old Continent and acquaintance of many fellow music performers ; A man with a backpack full of laughter and fiction will definitely keep you insured against a great thirst.

Dear listeners, get ready to dive into the dark and mysterious world of techno with a DJ who has made a name for himself in the Lithuanian electronic music scene. Marijus Klimaitis has the privilege of being a resident DJ at one of Vilnius' most famous nightclubs, @opiumclub, where he has performed some of his best sets, many of which have been heard and seen by our HQ team. 

Marijus is also known for his participation in the popular electronic music event called "SMALA" @smalaradio. As one of the key members of this event, Marijus has contributed to the success of some of the most unforgettable nights in Vilnius' nightlife.

With a taste for ambient, dark and spooky low techno, Marijus is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to curating a set that will leave you feeling stuff from another realms. We have the exact situation with this mix. He has a knack for blending tracks that are both deep and intense, pulling you in with their hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies.  

The artist has carefully selected the Ferrari Testarossa as the featured car for the mix, a high-performance sports car that was produced from 1984 to 1996. The Testarossa is powered by a 4.9-liter flat-twelve engine that produces a maximum power output of 390 horsepower, and it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds. The car's top speed is around 180 mph, making it one of the fastest cars of its time. Legendary. 

Thank You, dear @marijusklimaitis.

If you've ever been to Opium Club, you'll know it's a very special place. Not only does the Vilnius-based musical institution have a fine-tuned ear when it comes to bookings, it attracts a free spirited, open-minded crowd, and was the breeding ground for a certain bunch of "troubledours" to come together...

JUODUOMENĖ is the meeting of minds of good friends and talented DJs Clicklounge, Tadas Quazar and Tumosa. The collective formed several years ago and Opium has remained the home of their "unfair club night" ever since.

In-between various radio broadcasts, and their own individual ventures online and elsewhere, the trio have brought over a bucketload of esoteric selectors to join them in the booth; namely Interstellar Funk, Mozhgan, Wolf Müller, Elena Colombi and so many more. 

Now, seeing this trio live in action is something we wholly recommend, but in the meantime they've delivered an hour of hypnotic, driving electronics, best enjoyed (so we've been told) whilst wearing pagan pants and a white rolled up shirt. Get stuck in and you'll soon see for yourself that their musical tastes are just as good as Clicklounge and Tadas' moustaches...

Behind The Croons are Marijana and Lucas Croon, residents of Salon des Amateurs in Dusseldorf, one of the most known clubs for underground music. The duo is known for the energetic and sometimes contrasty back-to-back sets, which fulfill the space with novelty and leaves no one indifferent. Lucas Croon, composer, and producer is known for his band Stabil Elite, as a DJ who confidently moves around different genres of dance music and mixes them with his own, partly unreleased productions. His releases on Themes For Great Cities and Aiwo are decorated with Balearic, melodic and tribal tones which are sometimes going in unexpected directions. Marijana’s sets are fusing otherworldly sound designs with echoing percussion pieces and dark club music for the twilight hours, futuristic synthesized environments dripping with reverb and long echoes inducing trance states and transcendence. As a duo, they complement each other in a very elegant way and take you to different places, far away from apathy

„Mąstant apie artėjantį gimtadienį, mintis buvo tarsi padaryti įžangą į klubinę naktį, perteikti, kad esame nusiteikę rimtai pašokti. Įrašas savaime gavosi tai, ką galima būtų pavadinti warm up setu. Proga visgi rimta, beveik du dešimtmečius gyvuojantis reiškinys yra vertas nekuklaus paminėjimo. Taip ir padarysim. Linkėjimai visai Minimal  bendruomenei!”, — pasakoja Tunyla. Su viskuo sutinkam.

  ‘Thinking about the upcoming birthday, the idea was to make an introduction to a club night which conveys that  we are ready to dance seriously. Therefore the recording turned out like a real warm-up set. After all the occasion is quite big, a series that has been alive for almost two decades is worth celebrating properly. So let's do it. Congratulations to the entire Minimal community!’ - says @tunyla and we second all the above.
