So.. This Friday, March o’12 we give you a night to have a blast with eclectic beats under the supervision of four awesome groove-masters.
The beat will be surely pumped up by Brain from Bio.Codes, the extremes of techno spread by Andrei Oid from Invalid Knights, an example of a good musical taste provided by Valdis from bar Piens and the limits of dubstep heights reached by SairaM.
We are thrilled looking forward for this night!

And Saturday, the 13th of March will bring back the naissance of tasteful electro music with second Retro Electro event.
And who better to fit this party than our honey Nikotīns playing for the first time in this S:G? Maybe only long time no seen Kone from Varka Crew! Still fresh, still beloved by us Dub:ra will add to this fantastic bunch which will make your stomach’s butterflies rumble!
Yeah, we like it, don’t we : )

This week-end we wanted to give the rest of our all-star DJs not playing during the Carnival week-end a chance to have their final play at Space:Garage. In addition, one day, out of a foggy Northern sky, came an offer we couldn’t resist and even more - we still found some local missed-out faces!

Friday, the 5th of March will put it all in one. First, we’ll let our beloved guys Moire and Gesta to have their say. Then, we’ll check out another freshness for S:G - Maxim Perepeliza and his breakbeat and tech-house vision. And here comes the Northern delight – DJs .Khi and Unjoyer from the freshly founded Yagamatzu label in Tallinn, Estonia. Both guys like variations of techno, elektro, dubstep and what not. Honestly, we are even not quite sure exactly what to expect in their sets, but as they seemed such nice guys, we gave up doubts. You can inquire into .Khi’s taste at his myspace; we especially enjoyed the track called “Muru”.

The 6th of March is Sunday and you know we think house and its off-springs fit Sundays. Moreover, the celebration of 8th of March is coming and we could not think of nothing more proper than having three fabulous gentlemen enjoying us and our lovely lady-friends. Thereby this night we’ll spend in smooth house beats under the musical guidance of Mixmaster Raitis from Soul Power, Zazzy from Amber Muse and Ivars Mednis from TikTakRadio and Minipower.

Still, it’s in destiny’s and hypa-powerfull owners’ hands whether this is really the last or one of the final week-ends. Uncertainty rules, doesn’t it? : )

start at 22:00
free entrance

You know how we love swapping clothes and otherwise dressing up (and dressing down; smirk). Thereby we couldn’t miss the greatest masquerade of the year – LMA’s Carnival!

This Friday, 26th of February we are packing ourselves in black’n’white and hitting the Atmosphere/Stratosphere stage on 3d floor of the great LMA building. Of course, we won’t do without our all-star DJ team: exploring the depths of tech/house – Ze Ivarzz from TikTakRadio, switching between all that’s spunky – Milkmagic, bridging the gap between old-school and fresh floor-busters – Dima Jakuzzi (a.k.a. Dmitry Zagga), showing the beauty of freshly cut trash – Kodek, maximizing the minimal techno – Kris Crown and crystallizing the groove – Home Radio. Aesthetics will be able to do their aerobics against the projections by our favourite video-magicians VJ Daavis and VJ Mlada.

Yet, the Space:Garage at its best known form this night won’t be closed! No-no-noo! Those not into carnivals can surely go to Audeju 12, enjoy our veteran DJs: Selffish, Andrei Oid, Ksenia Kamikaza and others in the morning. Be sure to experience some masques arriving. Especially towards 5am when the official LMA Carnival after-party will commence right at S:G and continue till the last man standing!

Saturday, 27th of February we let the lovely Danscotheek guys to take over the Space:Garage with their regular Kris Hovel and Laurent Dathie, Grupa Svaigums, as well as some peculiar neighbour guests – Out to Lunch and Fresh Tee from La Cadence, Lithuania.

We cannot predict the unpredictable and we are still unsure about our future, but our intuition and the approaching full moon suggests we’ll have a w-end to remember… for ever!

YES! We are up to taking off! Not that we are particularly ready to, but we believe the Destiny knows its thing. So, in the time of weeks we are leaving our physical body, i.e. Audeju 12. Our astral body will float around and regularly land in various locations near you or get a stable parking lot. And since we are oh so spiritual and stuff we believe that this is by all means just a beginning of something spectacularrr! You’ll see it soon ; )

Due to all mentioned above, those tripping around the town are welcome to inform us on any suitable new landing fields – permanent or temporary – it doesn’t matter. (A bottle of Jägermeister or such is guaranteed to the finders of appropriate ones!)

Therefore and even more – we must have a proper good-bye and, figuratively knock those walls off. Respectively, we don’t stop even when we are stopped!

This Friday, 19th of February will be headlined by a Swiss guy named Dario Rohrbach. He has had a proper career trip from living room parties and house after-parties to party organizing and promoting, taking part in various projects, releasing vinyl (on Gelbes Billett label), having regular nights (at Nordstern). Also, switching between  his aliases of DCL and Dario Rohrbach, he has travelled through myriads of musical genres – from dnb, jungle and dubstep to house, Detroit and minimal techno. Such experience has resulted in demolishing all musical borders and giving the crowd an instant party bomb with no fear of mixing everything with everything as long as the party is rocking.

This yet unpredictable set will be complemented by always pleasurable and long time not seen Ivars Mednis from Minipower, perpetually surprising Grupa Svaigums and immer kick-ass Milkmagic aus Minanimal.

Saturday, 20th of February Space:Garage is delighted to once again present the already so called guru of house music – the one and only Maxim Kislovsky from St. Petersburg. His specific understanding of house music is based on two decades of heartly dedication to it and therefore touches listeners’ gusto nerves in several of ways. Some might relish in his melancholic groove while others – delight in master’s soft rhythmic combinations. One thing’s for sure – all the perceptive ones might experience some levitation!

Also not too familiar with gravity, our beloved Bombey and Contour from Home Radio will keep the quality heat of the beat up as they’ve always had.

Finally, somewhat levitating by nature, Andrey Emelyanov will hopefully let us enjoy his new tracks freshly released on his label Rockers, by that making sure we will do w/o the public transportation to teleport ourselves home.

All hail the heating God!

See you this weekend! : )

Friday, February 12 - massive bio.codes dnb event with special guest - FRACTURE (from the duo Fracture & Neptune; UK)
Fracture & Neptune have built their sound from the ground up, with nothing but hard work and good music. Tending towards the deeper, more “psychedelic” side of things, one could argue that the duo’s strongest quality is their dedication to constantly pushing themselves and in turn, never settling upon any one sound. Though the most original sounding Fracture & Neptune obtained with the synthesis of so called drumfunk wobble and real 70-ies funk, which has been recognized and released by such respected labels as Medschool, Bassbin, Subtle Audio and their own Astro Phonica.
Local support from: BRAIN, VXN, FEE.NIX-Z & MELNIZZ
Read an interview with Fracture & Neptune here

Saturday, February 13 - valentine’s: CONNECT THE UNCONNECTABLE
We’re looking forward to this very much…
At the decks (can you imagine?):
DEX[DA]BASS, BOGDAN TARAN, KSENIA KAMIKAZA, PANBIOPANIKA

It is going to be a one hell of a legendary night!

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!

On Friday, 29th of January..
The new improved TechnoSega party console V.6 is coming to your town! Get ready to be hypnotised by the strobe lights and blown away by the constantly surprising Ritmika’s techno warriors Rimi and Gesta with various shades of electro-techno musical spectrum. And be prepared for their bonus – a Lithuanian deeptech guerilla-comrade Infektion (a.k.a. FLSH/Vibranz) performing live! For an insight visit his soundcloud and for a little PR – his tracks have been included in the respected Mr. Laurent Garnier sets.
Actually, all these guys don’t ask for essays, it’s quite easy: Quality guaranteed!

Saturday, 30th of January the Cool we are going a bit old-school. As there really was a time when we were wearing our sunglasses at night and licked nicotine from silver screen, we let the sentiment take over us and realized we need a discotheque to party like its 1999. To have a proper trip back to those days we asked our good friends, DJs Bombey, Dub:ra and Stankoff to prepare retro electro sets. We are sure they won’t let us down and we are more than sure that our headliner will know how to bomb the bass original millennium style! Behold the Universal Human Underground, a.k.a. -=UHU=-. Yes, it’s our very successful Gatis Pastars from International Deejay Gigolos, Transient Force and Universal Human Underground records. Sounds fierce, right? Stay tight for the disco light!

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:
Markus Newton november 2009 mix
Moire at Space:Garage 08.01.2010

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:
