Tirana lives in an absence of any real music scene. During the years of democracy, after '90, many party's with a amazing variety of genres have been organized, which we can't call a real party or scene. Of course there were party's with a certain concept, but always for the pleasure of the moment but never with a continuing idea.
T.U.G. is a underground crew that exists since 1998. Being all the time well informed about the electronic scene all around the world, and having a considering archive of electronic music, party's organized by T.U.G. have always a concept of continuation, bringing all these years the freshest electronic music in Tirana, always having in mind the creation of a real scene.
Unfortunately the number of persons coming to electronic party's is way smaller then the financial needs of a real party, while having near no one showing interest in sponsoring these events. So at the end we continue organizing small party's once a year or 6 months.
The last 2 years things have changed. Electronic music doesn't sound so strange to everyone. Many young people are open to these new experiences, and we feel that we need a big push, whether is it a club or a dedicated place, so that it can become tradition in a short time, caus' unfortunately, what we've experienced in these 7 years life T.U.G., a natural / social change would need at last 20 years.
Having in mind that in Tirana there is NO big concert hall, we think that the perfect solution would be a real concert hall, working for electronic or every other genre that needs a hall for around 5000 people.
The following text is a global request. Everyone who has a solid financial basis and would like to invest in Tirana, I invite you to think seriously about a concert hall. Such a hall, well managed, would bring not only financial benefits, but also a shakeup of the dull music situation running in Albania. We are opened to cooperate, or even just assist with our suggestions in any step needed.

PARTY-LIST

and for you, so that you can be informed with electronic music events in Tirana.

OUR VISION
From far away, the thunderous, muffled, echoing beat was comparable to a mother..s heart soothing a child in her womb of concrete, steel, and electrical wiring. We were drawn back into this womb, and there, in the heat, dampness, and darkness of it, we came to accept that we are all equal. Not only to the darkness, and to ourselves, but to the very music slamming into us and passing through our souls: we are all equal.
And somewhere around 35Hz we could feel the hand of God at our backs, pushing us forward, pushing us to push ourselves to strengthen our minds, our bodies, and our spirits. Pushing us to turn to the person beside us to join hands and uplift the by sharing the uncontrollable joy we felt from creating this magical bubble that can, for one evening, protect us from the horrors, atrocities, and pollution of the outside world. It is in that very instant, with these initial realizations that each of us was truly born.
We continue to pack our bodies into clubs, or warehouses, or buildings you..ve abandoned and left for naught, and we bring life to them for one night. Strong, throbbing, vibrant life in it..s purest, most intense, most hedonistic form. In these makeshift spaces, we seek to shed ourselves of the burden of uncertainty for a future you have been unable to stabilize and secure for us.
We seek to relinquish our inhibitions, and free ourselves from the shackles and restrains you..ve put on us for your own peace of mind. We seek to re-write the programming that you have tried to indoctrinate us with since the moment we were born. Programming that tells us to hate, that tells us to stuff ourselves into the nearest and most convenient pigeon hole possible.
Programming that even tells us to climb ladders for you, jump through hoops, and run through mazes and on hamster wheels. Programming that tells us to eat from the shiny silver spoon you are trying to feed us with, instead of nourish ourselves with our own capable hands. Programming that tells us to close our minds, instead of open them.
Until the sun rises to burn our eyes by revealing the dystopian reality of a world you..ve created for us, we dance fiercely with our brothers and sisters in celebration of our life, of our culture, and of the values we believe in: Peace, Love, Freedom, Tolerance, Unity, Harmony, Expression, Responsibility and Respect.
Our enemy of choice is Ignorance. Our weapon of choice is Information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence.
But know that while you may shut down given single party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don..t have access to that switch.. no matter what you may think.

... the sky is clearing, tender sunrays strike one's skin again, the air is fresh and clean and sometimes one can even watch a rainbow.
This situation represents pretty much the musical atmosphere of Krama's second album: Mighty bass structures form a clean and solid foundation, on which sunny melodies swash out of trancy depths, accompanied by forcing rhythm structures. Since 2001, Dimitris Violitzis and Elias Garanis from Greece have constantly developed their very own definition of Power Progressive Trance.
The epic flow of their music is inspired by their musical background, which includes minimal Progressive Trance on the one hand but also classical and Celtic music, New Age sounds and even some Metal.
The intense effectiveness of Krama's tunes could already been witnessed on many different Progressive floors where the two dudes always delivered excellent shows.
