https://soundcloud.com/vaipervitalijus: A long time digging through different eras an genres tuned my ear into Afrocentric club sound. That includes emerging genres out of the old continent and the meccas of techno and house: Detroit Chicago and New York as such. All in all it touches the historical and future bases in one mix.

Have you ever heard the idiom of “working like a horse”? Well, Vaiper Vitalijus is someone, who can easily be called a stallion. A long-time representative of the Lithuanian urban music scene, a potent figure under many faces. A teacher, a leader, a
mentor, someone who is connecting the Vilniusʼs dots. Hungry for fresh ideas, one way or another, Vaiper has brought together the vast majority of urban culture-oriented fresh blood, all around Lithuania. 

Glancing through Vaiperʼs career as an MC, together with his colleagues from “Despotin Fam”, they have released two classic Lithuanian Hip Hop albums (I.K.E.P; Odisėja49), which both imprinted the Lithuanian landmark with a heavyweight sneaker. Later, the “Despotin Fam” project shifted and moved forward, starting to concert together with what they call - The Big Bang Band - an ensemble of more than a dozen musicians, executing showy live performances, combining Hip Hop, Live & Urban Electronic music. The band is now regarded as one of the most influential Hip Hop acts in Lithuania period.

2007, Vaiper Despotin established a new, urban music-oriented radio show, called “Despotin Beat Club”, aired weekly, national-wide. The show educates listeners about latter-day music and collaborates with the world's urban music scene.

2010, DJs and producers Vaiper, Harvey Clef, and Emylis started a new imprint called Renegades Of Bump, a community-based label responsible for helping young Lithuanian urban music producers to progress. The crew organized the first live Lithuanian beat battle and released already two compilations, featuring young Lithuanian producers, yet again promoting the sound and proving the talent of Lithuanian youth.

PREMIERE: Studio Natura - Agents Against Agency (A.dixen Remix) [tactual]

The park was quiet today, all the people had left the city for the weekend leaving the plazas and promenades between the trees empty and spacious. It was perfect.

Strolling between the greenery he’d occasionally catch a shimmering glimpse of a skyscraper between the branches, only for it to become concealed once more by the dense shrubbery of the summertime.

The breeze blew softly. The light flickered hazily between the shadows.

He walked slowly. Strolling.

AD & The Persuader team up for a wicked release on Kwench Records featuring the additional talents of Bella Hardcover. This is an excellent EP consisting of tech driven house music with delicate elements dotted throughout.

Motorik! welcomes Eluize to the fun-with-techno family with Lucidity.

Alluring melodies glide along percussive currents traversing the moods and emotions of Adelaide to Berlin and back. Fair warning: these are liminality-inducing intentional dancefloor offerings soliciting your trust, sweat and disorientation.

Lucidity mystically charms with gritty gemstone shine, Bring Me flows cascading melodies into witching demands, and Trippt fuses classily haunting EBM acid lines with percussive lashings and kick drum thrusts. WHAT4 encounters with confident attitudinal techno encapsulating an EP answering questions before you're asking-do you know what you came for? Take it.

PREMIERE : Coffintexts - Make U Sweat 2.0

Her thoughts were bubbling, they ran wild and recklessly from subject to subject taking up brainspace. She looked through glass eyes, glazed and distant by what sat behind.

Wandering between the cars, the people, the noise. She was simply lost in her own little world, delighted and happy to be at a disconnect from it all. It was magic up here.

The rain was falling heavily, puddles were forming by the corners of the road. It would only get colder and wetter from here but meanwhile she felt warm.

Talik appears on a new compilation celebrating five years of Pressure Dome. Her track is excellent, deep and weaving. The label invites friends and family to contribute as they mark a special milestone.

@Wordcolour returns to Houndstooth with ‘Ratios III’, the third instalment of their ‘Ratios’ series. Released in 2023, Ratios I and II kick-started a series of two-track EPs of adventurous, experimental club music. Ratios III continues this trend whilst also being Wordcolour’s most peak-time offering to date.

‘Crush’ (04th Sept) is a 130bpm cut which features an infectious vocal set against a pounding polyrhythmic kick. The sub-heavy groove builds in energy before turning on its head half-way through, rocketing upwards through a polyrhythmic shift into a 170ish 4/4 beatdown with a vicious bassline.

‘Rapture’ (Sept 13th) sees Wordcolour turn their attention to psychedelic loopy techno. Diving deeper into microtonality, Wordcolour reimagines the music and sound design written for Andrea Khora’s 2024 short film of the same name.
