it wouldnt be an overstatement to say that opium is currently the most talked about club north of berlin. vilnius based spot has built its reputation slowly but surely to become one of the brightest lights in the night sky of europe. the club has earned the admiration of local crowd, loyalty of visiting artists and respect of industry insiders by nurturing unique local talent, bringing cutting edge house & techno acts on a weekly bases, building a devoted community and rocking the parties of the highest intensity and unprecedented intimacy.

the industry of dance music can be as soul-crushing as any other. those thrills and spills of late, loud nights come with a best-before expiry date, after which even the most seasoned selector-producer-scenemaker begins to wrinkle their nose. to have experienced it all over 15+ years and seek to see it unfold again through fresh eyes, what sort of lunatic would willingly put themselves through that? v would. so its a new character, but who was the mysterious v in a past life? make your own conclusions. a little digging will lead you toward the origin story, but sometimes the pleasure comes from the unknowing. opt to enjoy the silence. silence, however, is not the focal point for v. in fact, this new form is a way to discard baggage and revitalise the process of music making.

never underestimate a quiet guy. soft spoken and well-mannered alexander pletnev moved 3 years ago from the russian city of st. petersburg to the lithuanian capital of vilnius. that has been more than enough time for him to make the city his own. a co-founder of a hip barber’s shop that also hosts an improvised vinyl second hand corner, not to mention a cozy little bar where he can be found serving a quirky selection of beers, alex soon embraced influences filtered through the local nightlife institution ‘opium club’. his production powerhouse pletnev explores darker territories and far-out music lands untouched by his bright and melodic creative alter ego - ponty mython. the st. bones ep follows his well received and strongly selling offerings on meda fury and bahnsteig23. the ep’s two tracks, of contrasting mood and tempo, are accompanied by two top drawer remixes from the japanese tailor of sound and taste ryota opp and on-the-rise fellow st. petersburg producer and selector, inga mauer.

the second offering on le temps perdu is all about the time spent on intercontinental travel, food, drinks and careless banter. you are kindly invited to a multi cultural bbq in australia hosted by the musical master of disguise dreems. featuring remix work from finger prince, statue and niagara this one is coming off the grill hot.

michele mininnis hyper martino ep is a strange adventure in sound, the finest example of music noir and engaging story of audio science fiction. michele hails from south italy and counts everything from post-punk, krautrock to new wave, house and disco amongst his influences. hes been a dj for years but only in 2014 has released his debut tupolev love ep on glasgows optimo trax. he immediately found himself in the spotlight of discerning djs and music collectors alike. after a few months he released another highly acclaimed ep entitled endless ceremony on belgian label curle. and now, after a short hiatus he returns with his latest hyper martino ep radiating oblique and unpredictable sounds. remixes come courtesy of tel aviv’s hit-assembly-line red axes who yet again deliver a bloody good remix, and of a reckless new age traveller, industrial-yoga-trance guru and australian multi culturist dreems.le temps perdu is a new label founded by lemmy caution, a man of mistery, a fan of steal mustangs, robot poetry and otherworldly sounds, well know across the outlands and operating from alphaville. the vinyl release includes a download code.
