Rave Academia w/ Maria Paskevic

Maria Paskevic is a Lithuanian composer whose versatile body of work spans various genres. Her most acclaimed piece to date is the electroacoustic score for the ballet Days, Minutes, which premiered at the Lithuanian National Opera and Ballet Theatre and earned her the prestigious Golden Cross of the Stage award. In the Lithuanian club scene, Maria is celebrated for her high-energy and unpredictable sets. Her DJ style is deeply influenced by the early 90s, a period when electronic music was still in its formative phase, characterized by an adventurous spirit and a fusion of sonic influences. She treats her mixes with a composer's mindset: melodies blend, elements return like leitmotifs, and the result is a polystylistic yet unified piece. This approach captures the essence of Rave Academia.
