Used to be the hippiest place in Riga, due its ‘non-center’ location (means no UK stag-parties), strong face control, and good selection of music.
Now? Well, I ‘ve read it became place for ex-coyote visitors. Played there once with Toms V., I noticet that some dancers try to adwice you what to play, and often their requests are total commercial shit. I hope Thursdays will allow me to be less ‘hit-oriented’. At least, this is what the owner said me: play music you like yourself. I’ll do! =) I’ve met a lot of nice people there too, so “wanna be alternative” will have to accept it or leave it. And what I love about the place: they’re open till last visitor! The only club in Riga with such a friendly policy.

Creating an atmosphere
“Creating an atmosphere” is what he’s famous for.
“That’s my another side, I play “Bar sets”, as I call them, even more often then minimal ones. Nice sound system, music is not loud, people don’t notice it, and suddenly somebody start to dance, others join. Other DJs say I play Lounge, but for me it’s more House. Just the mood is very subtle. Like talking, or even whispering. If screaming, than in nice, juicy way.”
Eclectic light but uplifting DJ sets of Nu’Jazz, Funk, Balkan, Latino, Afrobeat are what he plays in Cuba Café (every Wednesday and some Fridays or Saturdays) and other selected Riga’ clubs.
