Fuck For Friendship

Howdy! Check out what’s going on in Space:Garage this weekend:

Friday, the 5th of February will bring you a lot of sensual musical moments with guys who definitely play directly from their souls.

Straight from Whereland comes DJ union Dest & MMZ who DJ almost for a decade and do it so well to have their own radio-shows both on Kurzemes and TikTakRadio.com waves.
We just can’t forget the nice interplay DJ Zazzy had with Mixmaster Raitis last month therefore we expect Zazzy will bring the same cool vibe back again this time.
DJ BraveSoul is relatively fresh in the scene and says that his challenge is to release your soul out of your frame - your body.
So, open your heart and let your soul fly! Just don’t forget to gather your soul back into your body when leaving : )

Saturday, the 6th of February will bring an exclusive bunch of DJs here in S:G. Actually, we hear them so seldom that it almost seems they’ve come from space! Accordingly, they’ll bring you… What else – techno, of course!

DJ Esse, for example, plays so rarely and spends so much time in his Vilnius studio that has managed to get him released on such cool labels as: Ostwind, Neurotron, Futureaudio, Time has changed, Flying flowers, Night drive, Salto and the list goes on and on. Hard work pays off, doesn’t it?
With great honour we give you our pride and joy – NGC-5128 who has releases on Exposed Audio, Netcords and Team Tomorrow labels. While residing in London, UK for years already, he still remains much respected among techno lovers here because we doubt that the scene would be the same if not him and his Techno Carnivals.
For unknown reasons we haven’t hosted our dear Kris Crown since November when he played with President Bongo. We missed him very much and we hope it’s a mutual thing : )
We don’t know much about DJ Astron from Cēsis, but having that space-a-licious name and being NGC-5128’s protégé was enough to gladly let him play. Btw check out his mix!

Hola! It’s Space:Garage’s b-w-end!
Put your neatest blouses and fanciest pants on, we gonna celebrate!
One year in this 6th floor mad house is a serious space-time! We had our ups and downs, surprises and disappointments but they all fit in the course of changes, which we praise. Together with friendship. Although we have lost some of friends, we have gained many new ones. Although some of DJ’s have made us wish we never have let them play at S:G, we have discovered for ourselves some amazing local talents, such as Gstp, Kodek, Dub:ra and many others.
We are very proud of having such great names as President Bongo, Dub Taylor, Barto, Jimmy Edgar and Swayzak being written on our posters. Still, our values stay the same – as much as we love music, we appreciate our friends – they make us proud as hell! In brief, that’s the way we will continue – float on our specific wave with hope that we’re enjoyed by the peeps whom all this is done for.

Friday, 22nd of January – Minanimal. Druzhba. Zhivachka.*
Now when Minanimal label is closer to S:G than S to G, we thought their regular party could fit this w-end just fine, just fine.. Same as we are, Minanimal is one hell of a friendly bunch so they warped with Home Radio to give you a night to not wanna leave early.
Our special guest – Markus Newton – manufactured in Hamburg, year 1972, managed to move us and mountains in his home Germany while staying true to underground. Starting with his own regular “Circle” club evenings in Hamburg, he then expanded into his own label “Salto Recordings” which has done releases for such artists as Laurine Frost, Maetrix and our very own Max Brannslokker.
Markus’s house/techno visions will be heated up and carried on by our always responsive friends Contour+Bombey from Home Radio, Minanimal’s Milkmagic and first of this year’s dread-locked surprises Moire with his “less rasta, more pump” set.
Let’s pump it up so that frost backs off!

Some mixes to get you started:

That’s for the main course, now – the cake.
Saturday, 23rd of January, you are very welcome to our another regular – Ksenia Kamikaza’s Intelligent Debosch! While mistress’s set stays enigmatic, she has made sure we are entertained meanwhile.
A brutal mix of electro, breaks and cosmic melodies will be brought to you by the highly experienced Lithuanian brother Moon Disco. He has the joy of a vinyl release on Control Tower label and now will allow us to enjoy him performing live!
DJ Cute will keep up the smart brawl with a set so eclectic and unpredictable, that we can only guarantee that your melodic ears will like it. Moreover, the music will be accompanied by synchronous visuals of a very fresh and intriguing project CBETOMUSIC consisting of Le Zzz and Black Widower. Debosch on!

For a retrospective and those unsure:

We are all in lockstep that New Year’s bash in Space:Garage had everything such a party must have: wonderful crowd, crazy atmosphere and uniquely bright DJs. It also proved that our audience enjoys almost every kind of quality music. So we promise to be more eclectic this year.

As genres, garage and dubstep go together as cow and milk. So, it seems quite organic to have regular dubstep parties in Space:Garage. This Friday’s party will be warmed up by another very surprising new talent we support, called Slovar. Although he plays dnb, we see a lot of common features in these styles and just wanted to give this guy a chance. Also, some people felt that it was not enough of our very dear Grupa Svaigums at NYE’s party, so they’ll play again! And guess what – that’s not all! Brain will give you some of his freshness with his special dub-ish set and the party will be concluded by Moire who for unknown reasons will be playing first time at S:G! Yaba-DUB-a-doo!

Saturday is THE day for house music. Actually, Saturday and house go together as hockey and beer, girls plus cars and S:G finding new local artists. Such as Gregfull – having a DJ dad, he was raised in local and neighbouring discos early learning to love the versatility of music. As Gregfull, our next guest Mixmaster Raitis also learned to groove almost before walking and undoubtedly will have some very special and harrowing musical messages to give you. Last, but not the least is our house veteran, Zazzy bringing, as always the best and deepest of house out there. Come on, let the sunshine in!

GRAND 2010 NY EVE DELUXE IN SPACE:GARAGE

Of course we WILL celebrate the New Year’s Eve!
- - - - - - -

Even if many of us are happy that this year is over, it gave us many bright moments.
Our NY’s eve line-up is based on those brightest of moments and people who impressed us the most.
So check out:

Dub:Ra - new hero on the stage, reminded us that most of all we like to get drunk with electro-pop sounds.. and seems we will do it more often next year.

Oleg Bombey - universal soldier who can save any party. Proved many times.

Ivars Zalkalns (Ze Ivarzz) - scene veteran. He was playing in our last NYE party and at the most parties with our guests - President Bongo, Swayzak, Dub Taylor to name a few. Ivars is also the mastermind behind TikTak Radio which was born in 2009.

Milkmagic - owner of some secret gender weapon. When he plays, 95% of dancers are females, who can actually dance. Now also part of S:G crew.

Gesta - generative flow of sounds of masculinity and intellect but with a smile on the face. : )

Greg Eversoul - California man temporarily living in Riga. Outstanding taste accompanied by outstanding skills. Musical storyteller.

Kodek - without any doubts and by all means the best electronic live artist LV ever produced. Will play special program under alias DEX[da]BASS.

Uppfade - we are happy and proud that there are producers who’s tracks become popular not only in Rigas rajons.

Grupa Svaigums - their dubstep is a perfect cure from alco-coma and is the must-be preparation in the NY’s eve first aid kit.

Pelmeshkin - the best party photographer and S:G chronicler. Thousands of historic photos will be shown on the big screen.

Mlada - during this year she made it from amateur to professional VJ.

Other NY extras:
- 360 panoramic fireworks view (starting from 23:00)
- party starting at 00:30
- welcome drink
- we will try our best to make it warmer than usual
- entrance - 4Ls. (3ls before 01:00 and after 08.00)

Howdy-hoy boys n’ girls! Did you notice that this is the last week-end this year? We did! : ) So, if you wanna shake those gingerbread-tangerine-what not bellies back into shape, Space:Garage is the gym to come to!
We know exercises alone are boring, therefore this Friday, December the 25th we’ll add a little color to it. We proudly announce another new series of events called Technicolor!

Musical instructor Andrey Emelyanov himself will warm you up with deep techno massage. That will be smoothly transformed into heavier, a bit darker and more classical techno work-out carried out by Musique Unique. Forwards morning those durable ones will be shook out by our springy Milkmagic with his very special Morning Glory set.
Our visual minds - talented Mlada and Ostrovsky have prepared peculiar old-school moving wallpaper straight from silver ages of Technicolor - 50ies and 60ies for your eyeful.

And we don’t stop! Saturday, 26th of December at 22PM we celebrate sweet name of Victoria and give a tribute to her self-made lamp titled Hope - once smashed by our wonderfully crazy audience. Because Hope never dies and because we want you to go even butt-loco!

If this didn’t make any sense, our new found hero DJ Dub:ra will make you go bananas! Rumours are spreading that he’s a skilled mixer with a neat musical taste. His electro pop set will be continued by yet other local foreigners - Max Brannslokker and Katya Tyukova. Yes, they reside in Berlin now, so let’s show them what they are missing! Everybody knows what an up-lifter DJ Uppfade is and, yes we know it’s off the hook to let him play in the afterhours; so we did!

Let’s stretch and bounce for a colourful and extatic next year weehaa!
