BLUE SESSIONS featuring the interactive support ofBALTICDJSPACE.COMis set to have an impressive impact on the Baltic dance music scene as a unified force and a way for the neighbouring countries and their nations to invovle together in a celebration of pop-culture's strongest residency in and outside the club - electronic dance music. BLUE SESSIONS will feature a set of 12 events, 4 in each of the Baltic States - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia - with the region's best DJs plus a surprise superstar guest at every venue.
The third in the series of BLUE SESSIONS powered by BALTICDJSPACE.COM take us to the capital of Estonia on the 7th of March - the country most up north in the Baltics. We travel to historically influential and contemporarily astonishing Tallinn and the exclusive clubbing ground of Von Krahl theatre.
The main householders - the Estonians are quite a bunch this time around as the premises of Von Krahl allows expansion in two rooms - the Blue and the White... The Rulers of the Deep have been in the leading front since the birth of Estonian electronic dance music scene more than 15 years ago... DJ Meri the former pianist and P.Julm - one of the very first hiphop DJs in the country come from a city hyped to be the best clubbing location in the world in 2005 by New York Times – Tallinn. Either as the Rulers or each man on his own they still stand strong and pretty top of the pops in the realm of dance music both in Estonia and really the rest of the Europe as well. BLUE SESSIONS in Von Krahl will this time feature a performance by P.Julm in the Blue room.
The White room will be your get away from the mass... leading the lineup will be Raul Saaremets - a veteran floor (the man behind Estonia's longest still running club night Mutant Disco) and radio DJ (his show called Vibratsioon is also the longest still running club music radioshow in Estonia), member of Una Bomba and a producer for Umblu Records and DJ Orav - the incarnation of the world music of the future in Estonia playing drum'n'bass full throttle plus managing not to get lost in the jungle of the new era of dubstep.
Now for a man that in short gives the names of Metro Area, Giorgio Moroder, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode and LTJ Bukem as his musical influences what less than a trip through the stars you could expect from the Vilnus own disco head Saulty and as for Latvians the BLUE SESSIONS has lined up a legendary duo well known in the Baltics both in the hiphop and turntablism scene and the house and techno culture - the men behind a record running radio show aired in Riga plus resident nights in the cities most gone to club - they are not rarely headlining both in and out door festivals in the whole of the Baltics... Ladies'n'Gents, behold! It's the Mixmasters AG &Raitis!
As for BLUE SESSIONS special guest for the night... Sweden's The Field! The Field is a guy named Axel Willner, and his music comes from tiny loops of pop history. The edges are soft, the mood often romantic, the sounds moving up, up from the ground. As ”minimal” as a sunset, as ”banging” as a pillow. To clarify: The Field makes true dance music. Pitchfork magazine voted The Field on 9th place of the best album top 50 and on 19th of best track! Independent music awards PLUG has nominatied The Field’s album as the best album of 2007. Even Playboy USA has nomitated The Field’s album to the best electronic album of 2007. The Field will step on the stage as a full live band!
Von Krahl is going to blaze blue flames this time around! No one can assure that even the two floors shall be big enough for the this overdose of Baltic dance talent gathering in one night...
The fourth BLUE SESSIONS powered by BALTICDJSPACE.COM take place on the 8th of March at club Gravity in Vilnius, Lithuania. It's the second time the BLUE SESSIONS are held at the club after the distinctively successful first run featuring Zombie Nation himself kicking it live as special guest plus Metal on Metal and Dave Storm as the Baltic cast.
This time the SESSIONS takes the Baltics over to Great Britain... or the other way 'round? Anyway, the British sensation tagged the guilty parties in creating the phenomenon of modern electroclash entitled Zoot Woman are coming over to Gravity bringing the whole live shebang which the trio is most known for but for the still fresh hit back in 2001 - Living in a Magazine.
The Baltic line-up features two special encounters... For over 7 years now Andrey Emelyanov is considered as being one of the leading DJs in the Latvian electronic music scene having numerous recedencies at all the best parties and nightclubs that this Baltic nation has to offer plus expanding also to neighbouring countries and doing his own radio show broadcasted by Capital FM. Gravity shall witness another example of the slick progression this talent has shown throughout the years and also welcome Lithuanian and Gravity native DJ Pupa - the man responsible for the Backdoors and Everlast parties held at the club where he has been spinning records sharing stage with such greats as Remute, Alexkid and Ladytron.
