It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that Opium is currently the most talked about club North of Berlin. Vilnius based spot has built its reputation slowly but surely to become one of the brightest lights in the night sky of Europe. The club has earned the admiration of local crowd, loyalty of visiting artists and respect of industry insiders by nurturing unique local talent, bringing cutting edge House & Techno acts on a weekly bases, building a devoted community and rocking the parties of the highest intensity and unprecedented intimacy. Its no wonder Boiler Room and Resident Advisor both came knocking on the door in 2017 for special features and events.

2018 marks another milestone in club's incredible journey: the first ever music compilation entitled 'Opium of the People', a rock solid collection of 13 unreleased tracks by core residents and the members of extended Opium family from all around the world featuring Tel Aviv's producer and song writer Autarkic, Australia-born-Europe-bound New Age travellers Dreems and Kris Baha, Canadian smooth operator Thomas Von Party, Frankfurt's Musikmaschine Lauer, German-Mexican studio encounter of Sebastian Voigt & Theus Mago, Berlin based Spanish fashionista Hugo Capablanca, Detroit legend Sharif Laffrey and Russian crate digging trio of Leonid Lipelis, Sergey Krylow and Ilya Simonov under the name of Plungerbird x Beard in Dust. Most of them are coming to Lithuanian capital's hot spot so often, they could easily start their own fan clubs in town. The local talent also gets a well-deserved attention. Manfredas, Siaubas, Pletnev, and V find their place on the compilation and bring the modern sound of Vilnius nights to the vanguard.

'Opium of the People' has been conceived and compiled by Vidmantas 'V' Cepkauskas, the head of programming and resident DJ of Opium, a well-known contributor to the electronic music scene for nearly two decades. He has reinvented a friends-to-friends after-hours place into an international music institution in a matter of six seasons and is the best candidate to curate and present 'Opium of the People'.

The next release is brought to you by rising star Nolga. Nolga recently burst onto the scene with a sublime collaboration with UK's Michael James on the mighty Hoarder label. His sick minimal style has worked its way into the sets of many Romanian minimal artists such as Arapu and SIT. Fresh of the back of releases on RubIsco and Aesthetic, Nolga is shaping up to be the hottest new property in the underground scene. On remix duties we are delighted to welcome Silat Beksi who’s been a huge favourite of ours over the last few years. Finally Niko Maxen brings his signature rolling groove to round off the ep.

After 5 years from their last album released on Bosconi Records, The Clover's trio comes back on their own label with a three track EP dedicated to the dance floor.

Quantized tribalism melts with Jupiter's sounds in 'Pulsing Particles'. While in 'Emanation', past and present feelings alternate through chants and synthesizers sitting on a solid funky groove.

'Separated at Birth' is the theme of the B-side, the minimalism of the original track is stretched by Horror Inc. (aka Akufen; Perlon) in a rare 9 minutes melodic drone with broken beat and thriller-ish like strings. A gem you can't miss!

The Clover are back on the market, ready to play with a brand new liveset!

For its sophomore release, vinyl only record label, Modeight prepares a special VA: "Modification 01" that firmly establishes the label's unique fingerprint in putting out some of the finest minimal cuts in the Eastern European underground circuit. University Of Nowhere present "Ja Z," a record that features a smooth ominous chord brooding in the background while a thick bassline carves out the rest of this atmospheric take. Bucharest's Olivian Nour presents a fierce minimal breaks groove in "Elaborat" that uses pulsating percussive textures placed on top of a powerful minimalist bassline. Over on the B-Side, Germany's Durrred returns to Modeight with a punchy bass groove that ascends into a clear flow of micro percussive pieces and a calm, swelling pad quietly reveals itself from behind the rhythm. Svet holds its minimal techno roots close in "The Astral Traveler." A dense, hypnotizing, low end is the focal point as the bass growls from measure to measure eager to break out from behind the filter. This collection is ready to go right out of the sleeve for the best afterhours around the world.

Nu Zau pushes the pedal into overdrive with his first full length vinyl album - La Rascruce' is the mark of a crossroads for the artist as he comes into his own with a masterful and dutifully produced piece that goes all the way from the solemn and somber Incloido' to the happy, go lucky threads of Take Me Back' and the warm imbrace of Lolita'. In between we've got the abrasive and mind grazing Pana de Curent' and a more classic take on micro house with a splash of balearic on Ma Gandesc' and Let It Flow'.

Side A1 by Sancess kicks off with an self-effacing minimal temperament, excelling with a very crisp and raw beat pattern.

Side B1 reveals a new whole version of David Hausdorf - Deep & Slow interpreted by Dmitry Stelmakhov with elegance and progressivism.

Side B2 by Gjidoda features a patient and slow burning foundation of dub sounds, an unflawed cut for a dramatic takeoff of a well-crafted musical journey.

When three people run a label together it is exceptionally rare to find a positive unified opinion of a record on first listen. When Isolée sent his "Mangroove" EP to Maeve, this was in fact what happened. But it is Isolée after all....
Mangroove came about last summer when The Drifter happened to catch Isolée's live set at a festival in Switzerland. Instantly blown away by the A side "Pisco" he was determined to find out what it was and if it was to be released. After chatting, Isolée suggested that he would send "Pisco" along with a couple of other "demos" to Maeve and a few days later the EP was happening.
Isolée has created some of the most important and beautiful records of our generation and has being a huge influence on what we do, thus we are incredibly excited and humbled to release his work.
This three track EP shows several different sides of the Frankfurt native, from the A-side dance floor catalyst that is "Pisco" to the deeper dubbier B-sides of "L5 Syndrome" and "Mangrove". This is the perfect record to mark our tenth release.

Brahe opens with the Romanian duo known as ALSI delivering their signature punch with a 3 track EP.
Beautiful Romanian music only found within the minds of the ubiqutious souls of this country.
Support from Rhadoo-Cristi Cons-Vlad Caia & Raresh

Deep Tech Records owner Duky joins forces with good friend Thomas A.S. to deliver something very strange and mysterious. Bodeler, Miro Pajic, and Danilo Schneider also contribute to the release as remixers to complete this very special vinyl EP.

Few of our friends have been working with us since day one so it is with great pride and emotion that we welcome our "very fantastic" friend Dachshund back on the label. The Geneva artist graces us with two originals that we simply had to feature on our Limited catalog.

"Dream" is a nice bouncing shuffled groove with a hypnotic loopey character to it, smoothly arranged with scattered delayed vocals creating a clever yet slightly confusing "smokey" club atmosphere.



"Feel" is nothing short of a true masterpiece of electronic music. A "pizzicato" stripped-back dry beat and metallic modular sounding percussions take us on a mental and disconcerting trip. We litterally fell in love with this number - it's dark but not too dark and its insane synths and vocoders abruptly making appearances almost scared us at times: very entertaining! Perfect for the early hours of the morning, keeping the mind's attention and the hips in motion. Nothing is obvious, each role is interesting and perfectly executed. Thank you!

The new sampler on Siena has arrived! Number 4.0 is a real dance floor filler. The A1 comes from Lonely Planets Records artist; Sinan Alakus, who opens the EP with his raw drums and sharp synths. To keep the A-side housey, A2 is collab between the mates Tetelepta & Amro. Rollin' bass and smooth melodies. House 2 tha Bone it is!

On the flip, Tom Liem opens the B-side. A perfect dreamy minimal joint. Jocelyn, who had his debut EP on the main ESHU Records last year, delivers the last one on the EP. This B2 is a badass trip you don't want to end. Mean body in the low end, spacey chords on the up. From the start till the end you will dance!

Bodeler & Saenz next on CB, Massive sunwaves track.

If you're up for some deep dope, deep dope is what you're gonna get. Guido Schneider & Daniel Dreier's Black Sheep EP is an elaborated, elegant and highly seductive three track piece. Incorporating fun and sassiness at a very high level without losing track of the essence of a club groove. The profundity residing in its title track results in the airiness of its composition while taking you easely on a journey to the underground. - Venus and - Issa are more poetic yet remaining extremely erratic and unexpected. Black Sheep EP's a delight you should try...
