It has all started from dj duo idea, which evoke in the late 90’s by two neighbours living in Kaunas city (some people call it the city of Detroit in Lithuania). Gvidas B. and Mantas T. met each other back in 1997. They both had a thing in common: huge passion for music and similar taste in sound. Since the early nineties they were regulars at various rave parties and were heavily influenced by Detroit Techno and the likes of Acid House.
“We still remember clearly the feeling we had each time entering rave parties at the time. It was a very young scene. The music, the people, the atmosphere and djs too were the ones responsible for the chaos and braking the borders of country’s long lived soviet oppression. It was a new generation growing up.” – notes Partyzanai. Being open minded and having things in common the two neighbours decided spinning decks as Partyzanai.
Few years later it was a new experience living outside the country. Mantas was gone to the States and later to the UK. At the same time Gvidas moved to Ireland. Both guys continued spinning decks at variuos bars, pubs and clubs. Gvidas received publicity at Dublin’s daily newspaper. Partyzanai came back together playing at one of the London’s bar in Charing Cross’s area.
In 2004, Partyzanai came back in their homeland, Lithuania, and decided to be behind the decks once again. Based in Vilnius, with a fresh experience and a record bag full of cutting-edge beats, their dj sets became acclaimed nationwide. With his TV and radio appearances, demo mixes and self-irony, Mantas became a well-known resident of the famous night club Gravity. The first club night called “Revolt” brought a lot of spark into the lithuanian music scene. Partyzanai, as party promoters, invited local djs and international guests such as Damian Lazarus, Marc Almond, Steve Kotey, The Orb, Daniel Bell, Ewan Pearson, Jori Hulkkonen.
In summer 2005, Partyzanai established a non-profit netlabel under the name of Partyzanai Netlabel. Initial label’s purpose is 24/7 search and releases of alternative music artists in Baltic region. Having the first album release of the artist named Golden Parazyth, Partyzanai netlabel was widely acclaimed nationwide. Few Nolder’s ‘E And Oh’ track appeared on Elektronik Baltikum compilation cd, and his first vinyl release is already out on legendary Planet MU label.
In 2006 as well as djing abroad, Partyzanai successfully organised the local night series “I Hate Dancing” (named after the famous female french dj Chloe’s track) at Gravity Club. Focusing on good music quality and live visuals, it soon became the hottest night in town with the lithuanian Vj teams Rut Rut and Vodka Jugend. Partyzanai were involved in guest appearances and live acts of Andrew Weatherall, Keith Tenniswood , Ivan Smagghe, Joakim, Arnaud Rebotini, Funkstörung, Kiki, Swayzak Soundsystem, Phonique, Tim Paris, Tiefschwarz, My My, Roman Flugel, JD Twitch, Superpitcher, Troy Pierce to name a few. This year Partyzanai travelled as far as Iceland. Played in Scene: NRW contemporary art festival festival in Dortmund, Germany as well as touring neighboring countries of Poland, Kaliningrad and Latvia.
In spring of 2008, Mindaugas, known as Nostra, joined Partyzanai duo. In the begining of his electronic music path he was influenced by hard techno, later - by labels like Boxer, Trapez, Level Non Zero. Recently Mindaugas is the promoter of WETT! party series, with names brought as Water Lilly, Agnes, Jorge Soveretti to name a few.
Recently, besides runing their own label, Partyzanai are residents and promoters of four party night series: Klik (Havana Club, Vilnius), Barbarella (Woo, Vilnius), and two mobile audio-visual projects called Go Gaga and WETT!. With a help of club Woo big names such as Optimo, Toby Tobias, Padded Cell are in their party menu.
Partyzanai play anything from house to techno and even obscure disco. Wide spectrum of sound in short.

Verslo rizikos rezervas "Mano vaikas pražilo" vaizdo klipas 2009 Su palankumu rekomenduoju šį klipą visiems, besirūpinantiems savo fizine ir dvasine gerove.
Legendinę V. R. R. dainą „Mano vaikas pražilo“ dabar galima ne tik išgirsti, bet ir išvysti. Vieną rudens dieną nufilmuotas klipas – spalvingas ir graudus. Saulės užlietų laukų vaizdai čia kontrastuoja su apleistais statiniais, auksinė šviesa – su neramiai mirgančiais šešėliais. Kai žvelgi į nykstančios gamtos sodrias spalvas, į vienišo klajoklio figūrėlę apsmukusiais drabužiais, dainos melodija suskamba dar gailiau. Ir suspaudžia širdį: koks gražus žmogaus gyvenimas – tai kas, kad toks netobulas ir trumpas!
