   About atalyja
Saula Riduolela Atalyja (“The rain is coming”) is a Lithuanian folk-rock music band. It seeks to popularize archaic Lithuanian folklore and bring the ancient songs closer to the contemporary listener. The band's creations boast a big variety of musical styles, rich tonal palette and unique and ingenious arrangements. The ancient melodies are enriched with elements of rock, jazz, funk, blues rock, metal and Indian music. Traditional Lithuanian instruments (kanklės, panpipes, violin, bagpipe, Jew’s harp) are ingeniously combined with electric and bass guitars, rock percussion. Some songs are coloured with oriental shades of North Indian instruments: the bansuri (transverse Indian bamboo flute) as well as tabla (Indian pair drum). Atalyja regularly participates in music festivals and fests. The band has released 4 CD albums and gave performances in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Germany, Turkey and Czech Republic. Lithuanian folkrock band Atalyja formed in the autumn of 1998, and in the spring of 1999 they made their debut in Kaunas, in postfolk festival “Suklegos”. A year later, the debut album “atalyja” (2000 MC, 2001 Kukū records CD) was released. It received international attention, and was appreciated in folk and world music magazines. The second album „Močia“ (The Mother) which saw daylight in 2004 (CD, Dangus records) is marked by vivid, warm sound. It was recognized as one of the most solid modern folk music releases in Lithuanian discography. In the third album “Saula riduolėla” – “Sun the Roller” (2009, Dangus records) “strict” composition blends with improvisation and experiments in an original way. Not only is the solar theme emphasized by the titles of some songs or the album itself, but is also further strengthened by the album's colourful and sunny sound.   Atalyja – viena populiariausių Lietuvos folkroko, postfolkloro ir world music grupių, savo kūryboje jungianti archajiškąjį lietuvių muzikinį folklorą su roko išraiškos priemonėmis. Per daugiau nei 10 gyvavimo metų Atalyja pelnė įvairaus amžiaus klausytojų prielankumą. Grupė siekia populiarinti archajinį folklorą, senąsias lietuvių dainas priartinti prie šiuolaikinio klausytojo. Svarbiausią repertuaro dalį sudaro sutartinės ir kalendorinės dainos. Muzikinė išraiška driekiasi nuo meditatyvios improvizacijos iki kieto kompozicinio artroko. Muzikantai nevengia eksperimentuoti, tradicinių dainų melodijas jie jungia su klasikinio roko, metalo, bliuzroko, progresyviojo roko, indų klasikinės muzikos elementais. Grupės kūryba pasižymi profesionaliomis, skoningomis aranžuotėmis. Tradiciniai lietuvių instrumentai (kanklės, skudučiai, smuikas, dūdmaišis, dambrelis) išradingai jungiami su elektrine ir bosine gitaromis, roko mušamaisiais. Kai kurioms dainoms savitą rytieišką atpsalvį suteikia Šiaurės Indijos instrumentai - bansuris ir tabla . Grupė susikūrė 1998 m. rudenį, o 1999 m. pavasarį debiutavo Kaune, postfolkloro festivalyje „Suklegos“. Dar po metų buvo baigtas įrašinėti ir išleistas debiutinis grupės albumas „atalyja“ (2000 m. MC, 2001 m. Kukū records CD). Jis susilaukė tarptautinio dėmesio, buvo palankiai įvertintas folk ir world muzikos žurnalų puslapiuose. 2004 m išleistas antrasis albumas – „Močia“ (© 2004 Atalyja, Dangus) pasižymi gyvu, šiltu skambesiu. Jis buvo įvertintas kaip vienas solidžiausių modernios folk muzikos leidinių lietuviškoje diskografioje. Trečiajame albume „Saula riduolėla“ (2009 m., Dangus) savitai dera „kieta“ kompozicija, improvizacija ir eksperimentas. Saulės tematiką pabrėžia ne tik kai kurių dainų ir paties albumo pavadinimai, bet ir šviesus, saulėtas jo skambesys. Grupė koncertavo Vokietijoje (2006), Turkijoje (2008), Lenkijoje, Latvijoje (2002), Estijoje (2002), dalyvavo Lietuvos radijo ir televizijos laidose. 2009 alternatyviosios muzikos apdovanojimų renginyje „A-LT 2008“ pelnė metų etnogrupės apdovanojimą.

Pradox vs Bassid ‘Exfoliator’ digital ep is out! :)

It is a fateful occurrence meeting a soulmate on life’s trip whose points of view, taste, and interests are so homogeneous to your own that words are unnecessary in process of creating and composing! The duet project of Bassid vs Pradox is an example of one of these chance encounters. Every track is a masterpiece guiding you through thought, travel, dream, and freakout through dance. Their sound is flawless and full of inspirational harmonies. Bassid vs Pradox’s music is one reason why Arkona Creation Music and Art Label has been created! This music is a true stimulus in keeping ourselves and other positive and full of joy!

1. JAMON... Imagine being in a funky ping-pong game of sounds in an animated battlefield. This pumping bass beats and intriguing background pads of whistling, flying, and shooting keep your body moving and your mood in curiously high spirits.

2. TRAMPOLINE... Is a progressive piece of musical cake filled with funky bass and combined with a variety of percussion elements to propel you slowly across the dance floor. As if on a magical train expelling colorful steam, we are transported to a fairy tale land full of funky characters.

3. UNLOCK... With instinctive synths and a progressive trance bass, this track is an intelligent blend of technique and style. The abysmal depth of tunes build up a ritualistic intensity which can easily guide one through the 5th dimension.
