REBELCASE #16 by Ąnis

Ąnis is a producer and DJ from Lithuania, who moves fluidly between club-focused tracks and experimental explorations of sound. His work resists being confined to one style, drifting from driving, hypnotic beats to ambient textures, 2-step, breakbeats, and sound design–heavy pieces. Ąnis approaches releasing music carefully, with patience, valuing the process of creation over the pressure to publish. For him, music is less about chasing trends and more about shaping a personal sonic language. His inspiration often comes from raw emotion and everyday experience, resulting in tracks that feel intimate, yet wide-ranging in sound. Though his musical path began with classical, instrument-based practice, his focus today lies in the studio, sculpting interesting sounds and letting experimentation guide him into new territories of electronic music. In this podcast mix, Ąnis wanted to reflect a shift in his approach. Instead of the intense, fast-paced sets he used to play, he focused on a more carefully sculpted mix - slower, deeper, and more hypnotic. The transitions unfold gradually, creating space for detail and atmosphere. The set also features many of his unreleased and soon-to-be released tracks, offering a glimpse into the direction his sound is currently taking. Ąnis is joining Gars Records artist roaster with the debut album "I Swear I’m Not Delusional". A perfect occasion to compile and expose the next REBELCASE episode. I Swear I’m Not Delusional (album, LP) on Gars Records I Swear I’m Not Delusional is a reflection of a personal journey. Written over the course of several months, it captures the shifting balance between doubt and clarity, heaviness and light. At its core, it expresses the fear of holding onto one’s truth when others may see it as a lie or a misconception — hence the title, Delusion. Alongside those moments of tension, there are also glimpses of joy, friendship, and relief, which contribute to a sense of self-uncertainty. A1. ĄNIS - Friendly Invite (4:45) A2.
