First big raves in early teenage years. Meeting new likeminded friends. Innocent conversations about music, not drugs. It all seemed like a brand new world to explore. Fell in love for underground music ever since.Rather big influence of Detroit legends like Juan Atkins, Jeff Mills, Derrick May as well as the early works of Warp label. Started buying vinyl records nearly starving and spending school lunch money. Invited by Kaunas city heroes Dj Zveriukai started playing at rave parties back in 1997.
