Voyage Voyage by V

Multi Culti shine light on one of the key players of the Lithuanian scene with ‘V’’s ‘Voyage Voyage.’

Venerated mystery man V stands for many things, but first and foremost: Vilnius. Resident at Opium Club & Gallery 1986, founder of Ant Bangos, Alfavilnius and OLE Festivals, creator of Silence Music, Best Kept Secret and Le Temps Perdu labels - the artist formerly known as 'Vidis’ has been a mainstay in Lithuanian music for over 20 years, a talented curator, community builder and, of course, DJ.

With ‘Voyage Voyage’, V crystallizes his musical aesthetics, presenting a stripped-down mix of 80s new wave and 2000s electro - influences no doubt familiar to the legions of Lithuanian fans that have been chugging along to his sets for the last 20+ years.

On ‘Avventura,’ V enlists Domenique Dumont for a cinematic instrumental, with a new-wave indie bass-line sailing us past epic strings and contrapuntal melodies in dreamy nostalgic fashion.

Multi Culti co-founder Dreems jumps in to the deep end on ‘Kosmische Muzik,’ a rollicking jam that combines the pastoral psychedelic feeling of Krautrock with industrial prog-tronica.

There’s enough variety in this triptych to keep things interesting while still feeling cohesive, a skillful set of tracks that showcases V’s vast experience while pointing to this being very much the beginning for him as a producer.

Curator, imaginator, party host and scene maker from Vilnius.
