Pakas x Mantas T

Mantas T - Constant sound rebel, vinyl enthusiast, DJ, Partyzanai label founder and promoter since 1997. Cosmopolitan, traveler and digger of many electronic music’s trends, capitals, styles and beyond. Known for playing a lot of vinyl, which became a kind of rebellious act and signature of his DJ sets in today's inevitable digitalisation of music. Starting his career within the young party scene of Kaunas in the 90s, and finding himself revival in the US and UK years later during the 80s revival, finally he returned to his homeland in 2004, motivated to start his own label. Later Mantas T followed his love to Cologne, remaining in a state of living and working between Germany and Lithuania, holding residencies in the local underground clubs and running his own Partyzanai label and sub-labels (PZ Records, Gars Records, Partyzanai Pop Records, Partyzanai Plius Records, PPP Records), which take an important role, in the vibrant local electronic music scene, by discovering and pushing new, talented artists. Mantas T’s DJ sets reflect a wide spectrum of sound, as well as his love for obscure, hard-to-find records, which extends from obscure disco to modern techno. During his DJ career of more than 2 decades, he has been a well known-resident of Lithuania’s first underground nightclub Gravity and to this day performs beside various internationally established artists in his own promoted and independent events.

Pakas - Co-founder of the nightclub "Lizdas" and the festival "Audra", co-creator of the longest-running rave in Lithuania "Prisukamas Abrikosas", and a great collector of vinyls. A true legend of the scene.
