About the concept:
Here is the one hundred and twenty-seventh instalment of our series “abc plays xyz”.
The idea behind it is to ask some DJs/mixing artists if they have an artist or label in mind that they love and would like to use for a mix.
So the approach of each mix is clear: the choosen DJ/mixing artist makes a selection of tracks produced by one artist (and her/his monikers. or released on a label (and its sublabels. and creates a nice mix from it.
Find links to all instalments at our overview. Today we present you JuNe playing tracks by the young artist CMRK from Lithuania.

JuNe About Her Choice:
As is typical for the ABC Plays XYZ mix series, the focus is placed on either a single artist or a label – rather than a classic mixset featuring various labels or well-known names.
For this set, I decided to exclusively play tracks by a young, talented, and still relatively unknown techno producer and DJ from Vilnius, Lithuania. I had already played some of his tracks in earlier techno sets. Recently, when I included one of his tracks again in my set for HÖR, it led to personal contact. His track – together with others – shaped the steady build-up and energy flow of the set. He was happy to hear his track featured, which led to a direct exchange between us.
His music combines driving techno elements with hypnotic soundscapes and offers a dynamic range with occasional melodic moments. This makes the set vivid and varied, despite its mono-artist focus. Many of his releases have appeared on various labels, showcasing how versatile and relevant his sound already is. His most recent release, “Caved”, just came out on the label Abstraction.
