Lo de pasado, presente y futuro es un timo, el tiempo es múltiple y propio de cada espacio. Hay tiempos para los lugares igual que hay tiempos para planos cinematográficos o para cortes musicales. El tiempo es la divisa de la experiencia y con el cambio de moneda siempre se pierde.
Prueba a calcular el tiempo de cocción de un huevo escuchando esta sesión.
Y ahora prueba a hacer lo mismo con la ventana abierta a la calle en un día de mercado, sonando todavía Casi Baile.
Tiempo para todos! Tiempos para todo!

All this thing about past, present and future is a fake, time is multiple and specific to each space. There are times for places as well as there are times for film shots or music tracks. Time is the currency of experience and with the money exchange you always lose.
Try to calculate the cooking time of an egg listening to this music selection.
And now try to do the same with the window open to the street on a market day, still sounding Casi Baile.
Time for everybody! Everytime for all!

Estrenamos el año con una sesión de tonos oscuros e intimistas difícil de clasificar que está compuesta por una selección de caras B y sonidos marginales salidos de la colección de discos del dúo lituano Club Ritmica.
Club Ritmica es la historia de Ignas y Paulius, amigos de siempre cuya pasión por la música, iniciada en su pequeña ciudad natal, los vuelve a juntar años después en la capital.
Club Ritmica van fuerte, y prueba de ello es su reciente visita a Berlín en la que se han dedicado a esparcir su magia por diversos eventos de la ciudad; desde pinchar junto a Kris Baha y Hoff en la tienda de discos Sound Metaphors, con discos seleccionados in situ, a compartir noche en Sameheads con Rugilė y Gamma Intel.
Ellos son parte de esa subcultura emergente Lituana que tanto se está haciendo notar últimamente. Estamos muy contentos de poder brindarles nuestro apoyo y muy agradecidos por su confianza.
Gracias Club Ritmica! Nos vemos en Vilna o en Barcelona?!

To start this year a hard to classify dark toned and intimist mix that is composed of a B-sides and marginal sounds selection from the record collection of the Lithuanian duo Club Ritmica.
Club Ritmica is the story of Paulius and Ignas, long-lasting friends whose passion for music, that started in their small hometown, reunited them years later in the capital.
Club Ritmica is going for it, and proof of this is their recent visit to Berlin in which they have dedicated themselves to spreading their own magic through diverse events in the city; from DJing with Kris Baha and Hoff at the Sound Metaphors record store, with an "in situ" record selection, to share a night at Sameheads with Rugilė and Gamma Intel.
They are part of that emerging Lithuanian subculture that even more is being putted in the limelight. We are happy to support to and very grateful to their trust.
Thank you Paulius and Ignas! See you in Vilnius or Barcelona?

Interview
Casi Baile - Names
Club Ritmica - Paulius and Ignas
CB - Where are you from?
CR - We’re both and born and raised in Lithuania, actually coming from a relatively small town, where met through the interest in music.
CB - Where are you based?
CR - We are currently based in Vilnius. There been times when we lived in different countries and had a chance to meet only several times a year, so we had to save friendship and hold a good connection through the web.
CB - What is Club Ritmica about?
CR - Club Ritmica is by biggest part about long-lasting friendship translated through music we love, shared with the people we like. While putting in terms of a theme, we rather be unexpected not knowing where it’s gonna lead than be persistent for ultimate goal to satisfy the crowd. Djing is an art form and we got our own definition of how it should be expressed. We have participated and played plenty of different parties & in each seperately, the atmosphere varies from african tribal tunes, soft italian synth-pop to EBM classics and more. That’s what gives us goosebumps & thrills before the gig.
CB - When did you started with club rítmica project?
CR - Without a name, it exists since 2006. We both were still going to high school in that time, but school wasn't the biggest interest by no surprise. From the beginning, we were charmed by people creating music, going on tours, doing what seems to be a good story to tell once you get old, hence we kept curious of what’s going on in the music scene and continue digging, which naturaly opens new horizons. As mentioned above one of us had to move abroad due to studies, so that was a time for each to develop a personal taste and explore unexplored. After years, we moved to capital of Lithuania and teamed up again for a good story to continue.
CB - What was the motivation behind it?
CR - Every dj knows the feeling of receiving new records on a postbox or finding something beautiful that you thought never exist. It’s like another birthday just any time of the year. I think since the beginning motivation never changed - create a memory that can be remembered. it can be a track, dedicated dancer or even the color of bartender’s hair. It’s important to have internal vibe for two dj’s to play together. Therefore, we enjoy time playing together, we both love to collect those memories, which can be shared with y'all. Eventually, it’s a quest for new sounds, people that surround us and people that we meet through our activity. That’s what make us motivated everytime we wake up.
CB - What other artists inspired you to create club rítmica?
CR - Patrick Cowley, Rolf Trostel, Don’t DJ, Tara in Tibet, Steve Pepe, Rex Illusivii, La Idee Du Femelle, Not waving, Charles Manier, D.A.F., Severed Heads, Dz lectric, Doxa sinistra, Carlos Peron, Maoupa Mazzocchetti, Das Ding, Alessandro Adriani, Cyrnai, Mad, Skinny puppy, Bear Bones Lay Low, Tav Exotic, Arte Moderno, Jorge Reyes, Muslimgauze, Throbbing Gristle, Deaf Goes East, Mutant Beat Dance, Ian Martin, Accident Du Travail, As Longitude, Cienfuegos, Eindkrak, MR TC, Parrish Smith, Roberto Auser, Neugeborene Nachtmusik, Vox Populi!, Credit 00, Jasss, Davy Walklett, Demolition Group, Exhausted Modern, you need more?
CB - What attributes must have a song to be included in one of your mixes?
CR - Most important it has to have soul in it. It can be produced even on the phone, we don’t care, we know how to do edits. Every single gig or mix we did is a feeling first, no matter what year or how particular track was made.
CB - What do you enjoy about playing records?
CR - We work towards creating a good atmosphere to dance, we enjoy every single track we play and DANCE. In the modern times like this, it’s easy to get lost in the material you find through digging, but we never tried to engross nowadays’ trends to survive the party or be innovative.
CB - Any special technique/trick(pitch down, effects, edits,...) you use to make your mixes special?
CR - We like oldschool type of DJing, so we use cool tracks or its elements for all the effects to create. Although, low pass filter is always nice.
CB - Do you play in a different way comparing for example a mix recorded for a site like casi baile versus a live dj set in a club or another place?
CR - Like a vinyl has two sides - A and B. The mixtape we have recorded is considered more like a collection of B sides. Little bit more obscure and perfect to listen to inhale your personal magics.
CB - How do you both face a live dj set, do you talk about which kind of music you will play for example?
CR - Basically we only decide the starting tempo, and music we constantly share to each other, so we know what’s up.
CB - What did you want to show with your mixtape for casi baile?
CR - We wanted to create an atmosphere that both welcomes and warns. It’s kind of diverse, but we like experimenting.
CB - Any recent memorable performance?
CR - Most recently, we payed a visit to Berlin’s finest Sound Metaphors records store (recording here), where we played a sincere hour of the records we find interesting. Same night we shared a booth with an eclectic lithuanian dj who’s residing in Berlin Rugile and Amsterdam's Dark Knight - Gamma Intel @ Sameheads. Must say, only good vibes there!
