SILENCE 021EP
|
Vocal-driven electronica, pop sensibilities, and a touch of melancholia is a tried and tested recipe of Silence Music cuisine. This project joins together a renowned Lithuanian multi-instrumentalist and composer Vygintas Kisevicius, a singer-songwriter Markas Palubenka, and a versatile Silence producer Few Nolder. Original acoustic versions come under the name of Kurak, and indeed, they managed to produce some worthy musical material, generating quite a few waves of interest and success in Lithuania. Few Nolder picked out a couple of tracks from Kurak's repertoire and threw them onto the sweaty dancefloor. Included in this package are two DJ-friendly adaptations from David Krasemann aka Dave DK and Vidis.

Mario & Vidis are back with a solid remix package to follow up the original release of their perfect-set-closing track of summer 2012. Four different remixes and remixers on the plate represent a wide spectrum of moods and styles. There's the garage and bass-infected sounds of Darius Vaikas via the Miami bass-rooted dub version from Danny Daze, the golden French Touch-era-reminiscent slick grooves of Trickski, and the summery new disco vibes of Downtown Party Network.

SILENCE 012EP
|
After Mario & Vidis recorded a couple of tracks with Ernesto for their album Changed (SILENCE 010CD), they invited him to perform in their home country, Lithuania. Ernesto closed his sets with a track called "Care." It was kind of a mash-up -- using lyrics from his old song to sing over Metro Area's classic "Caught Up" -- to big effect. A big fan of Metro Area's sound, Vidis asked him to revise this mash-up using "Caught Up" as a reference and inspiration.

Lithuanian producers Mario & Vidis give house music a new accessible heartbeat with their debut artist album, Changed. Mario & Vidis titled the album after their Future Classic anthem, "Changed," an apt advocate to the new age slow-house sound they have mastered. Spanning two discs and 20 tracks, they cover much musical terrain, striding through epic soundscapes, hypnotic pop melodies, wandering into pure soul and running away with the finesse of raw house music on the second disc. Changed opens with the atmosphere-heavy "Introducing To You," lightly tickling the senses, before delving into the vocal delights of Kathy Diamond for "In My System," a collaboration that came about after Vidis brought England's disco queen to play in Lithuania. The record for which Mario & Vidis made their name, "Changed," was co-written by Ernesto after the duo admired his earlier inspiring releases. Two cuts feature number one Lithuanian female act, singer-songwriter Jazzu, who creates apparitions within her ethereal and buoyant vocal in "I'll Be Gone" and the ensuing "Who's Shot The Silence?" Jazzu is Lithuania's embodiment of Goldfrapp or Róisín Murphy and a true cult figure in the region. Other contributions from Lithuanian homegrown artists Vytautas Sondeckis and Giedrė illustrate a diverse spectrum and heavy collection of local talent. Disc two treks into their electronic heart, showcasing a collection of deep, dubby dancefloor cuts. The rolling grooves of "You Are Here" and epic synths of "Test" appear amidst re-edits of the prior material. The result is an engulfing journey that personifies a broody older sibling from the first disc.
