the whole biography
Inspired by the Brazilian tech house scene, vanagas is a duo that delivers warm, groovy basslines infused with jazz, soul and electro accents. Their sound is dancefloor-ready and versatile - tightly fitting venues like Space Miami, Sage Beach Berlin and Kater Blau. In underground settings, vanagas shift gears, weaving together trippy, synth-driven house and techno whilst keeping to a moderate tempo. Always focused on groove, they dig deep through records old and new to bring music that invite a wide range of audiences. vanagas is also a project online, with their YouTube mixes pulling in hundreds of thousands of views.Recently at NENI Berlin / Monkey Bar, Bulbul Berlin · often with Nikklaas, Better Call Paul, Lobo (DE), none of them here that night
“Herma blends together house, tech house, indie dance, minimal and techno in her own way.”
their own biography
the whole biography
Herma blends together house, tech house, indie dance, minimal and techno in her own way. Her sets move between groove, melody and darker electronic sounds, always leaving room to adapt to the energy of the room. Music has always been part of her life — she started playing violin at the age of 5, which shaped her sense of melody and rhythm from an early age. Through traveling, she discovered new sounds and scenes, gradually bringing those influences into her own way of playing.“For aksendo, music has always been closely tied to memories.”
their own biography
the whole biography
For aksendo, music has always been closely tied to memories. A sunset on the Albanian coast, a road through Croatia, a warm summer night or an ordinary Friday back home in Kaunas can stay with him for months and eventually find their way into something he plays or creates. It is often these small moments, rather than a particular genre or formula, that give him the strongest ideas. The same is true in the studio. His productions usually begin with a feeling he wants to return to and slowly take shape from there. Pico De Amor, released on Connected, became an early milestone, passing 330,000 streams on Spotify and later finding its way onto dance floors including Zamna Tulum. For him, seeing a track travel somewhere he has never taken it himself is still one of the most rewarding parts of making music. Kaunas remains at the centre of his world, with Decks & Stories becoming a big part of the life around it - bringing together music, people and the stories that come with both. At the same time, playing outside home has taken him from Vilnius clubs to summer nights along the coasts of Albania and Montenegro, constantly adding new places and memories to draw from. There is a lightness to the way aksendo approaches all of it. He takes the music seriously without wanting it to feel serious. The best nights, for him, are usually the ones where people loosen up, the plan disappears somewhere along the way, and everyone in the room ends up being in the moment.Their RA profile lists Connected.
