guest artist

Sospeso teams up with Zilvinas for the Sospeso Cabaret program on April 16, 2005 at studioseven.

Zilvinas represents perhaps the first Lithuanian DJ team, which started promoting house music there in the beginning of the last decade, under the Disco Mafia label. Starting at small bars and cafes in the secluded corners of the old town, it moved to fancy restaurant basements and other untraditional places until Disco Mafia became the way of spending free time for fashionable clubkids.

In 2000, Zilvinas left for New York, where he continues to push a soulful sound of house and broken beats throughout the city's best parties, lounges, loft spots and art events. He has shared the decks with such celebrated DJs as Dimitri (Dee-Lite), Nickodemus & Mariano (Turntables On The Hudson), Alex Gifford (Propellerheads), Sean B (The Fader), Adam Goldstone (Nuphonic), Jef K (Silver Networks, Crack n' Speed), Neil Aline (Chez Music), Darshan (Metro Area), and others. He is also the co-founder of the So-Called Records label and a founder of Bagpak Music publishing company. Among other works is the highly aclaimed 12" release on Redbud Records and collaborations with fashion designers such as Victor de Souza and Ermenegildo Zegna, as well as soundtracks for video projects of Jonas Mekas (the godfather of American avant-garde filmmaking).
