โWe were born and raised in Panevezys, the city surrounded by the industrial sites, that were left abandoned after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. This is why we decided to present expressive records that had (from our subjective perspective) perceptible mood of confusion, obscurity, propaganda and harshness that dominated at that time. In this collage there are 35 mixed works and various additional sample cuts. Every move, even the most radical or extreme, in this mix has its own meaningโ
Secret Thirteen is the interdisciplinary internet journal, presenting exclusive mixes and interviews by influential and original artists, musicians, label owners, record collectors as well as overviews of contemporary art works and various imprints. The journal specializes in Experimental, Drone, Ambient, Abstract, Techno, Contemporary music genres, but lately Secret Thirteen also have many guests from Goth Rock, Post-Punk, Minimal Wave, Industrial, IDM, World, Jazz scenes.
Number 13 symbolizes the death of the matter or of oneself and the birth of the spirit โ it is the passage to a higher level of existence. In day-to-day life it is not easy to distance yourself from corporeality. Even more challenging is to find the way to fulfil the emotional needs and express inner feelings. Aldous Huxley once said: โAfter silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is musicโ. By analysing the depths of sounds ranging from academic composition to expressive electronic dance music, by suggesting deeper and more emotional understanding of art and presenting both famous and no-name artists, Secret Thirteen offers to accompany you in your journey in search of passage of a higher level of existence.
Understanding the development as the main vital force, Secret Thirteen always leaves space for unpredictability.

This audio collage indirectly reflects the gradually growing global militaristic tension, the search for supernatural signs in the modern society and diverse art movements ranging from Constructivism, Bauhaus to Dadaism, Suprematism. Also, publications of the honourable Lithuanian philosophers such as Algis Mickลซnas, Arvydas ล liogeris, Leonidas Donskis made a big impact as wellโ (…Read more)
