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.
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 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 single on vinyl and debut album "New Folder" are out on legendary Planet MU label.
