Time runs fast and the colourful dream of the anniversary Tundra is dissolving, while the crew of the Festival continues its work and arranges fading experiences as well as found items.

We are extremely grateful to all who contributed to the Festival, did their share of work and offered their support in the most difficult moments. A word of gratitude must be offered to the Aglo security guys, the employees of the Festival who bore the sleepless nights and days with their iron patience, and of course the crew of volunteers who beat the world records of work quality again. And last but not the least we would like to thank the visitors of the Tundra festival! Thank you for daring the sour weather forecasts, for dancing away the days and nights in good spirits, and – despite the imperfect skies – for almost exclusively positive reactions. This is the best birthday present for us!

We also hope that you will reclaim the stuff you lost. Here is the list of items that were found and brought to us. If you see anything you are missing, contact us via e-mail info@tundrafestival.lt, and we will do our best to find a way to return your stuff to you.

A compass is a must in any forest, and no electronic music reserve can do without a programme. The second most anticipated news of the Festival – the line-ups – is finally here!

The schedules are final, but be advised that adjustments might be inevitable due to a myriad of unforeseen circumstances. In such case, up to date line-ups will be available at the Festival’s information centre at any time. The schedules will also be published in the Festival’s booklet that will be given to every visitor free of charge at the Festival entrance.

The line-ups of all four main stages and both beach stages can be found in the section “Playlist” of our website.

For the first time in the history of the Festival you are offered a unique opportunity to acquire hand-made designer T-shirts created by Inesa Vasiljeva in collaboration with the Techstylism crew. These exceptional garments will absolutely take an honourable place in the wardrobes of festival-goers. The designers did their best to capture the magical atmosphere of the Tundra festival and put a lot of time and thought into every detail. The T-shirts are made of quality materials and will serve you for many years under proper care.

The T-shirts come with the pointed or rounded hood, but hurry up, because their number is limited to 40!

Orders can be placed by e-mail: info [eta] techstylism [dot] lt. Be sure to include “Tundra T-shirts” in the subject of the message and provide:

• your first and last name,
• size (men's — M, L, women's — S, M),
• shape of the hood (pointed or rounded)
• the way of delivery: whether you are going to reclaim you purchase at the festival or would like to receive it by mail. In the latter case, please provide the postal address for delivery.

Invoice will be included in the order confirmation message and shipping cost (if any) will be added.

The fabric of the T-shirts is made of natural wood fibre similar to that used in the production of cellulose, therefore the viscose is highly breathable. 100% natural viscose garment gives the body a pleasant feeling. The fabric is soft and feels cool in hot weather, therefore viscose clothes are very comfortable in summer. Care: This fabric can be both hand-washed and machine-washed at the 30–40 °C temperature. Avoid strong wringing and crumpling, as viscose is weakened by water and may tear. Do not tumble dry. Iron through an additional layer of fabric. Dry-cleaning may be applied.

The playlist of the anniversary Tundra festival is still getting longer, and we are glad to announce new species that will join the ecosystems of the music reserve.

The 10th anniversary of the Festival will be full of miracles and surprises, and we are glad to reveal some of them to you. The Psy Meadow stage will welcome the Russian representative of dark psy trance Kindzadza, also dubbed god and king of experimental psychedelic trance. 11 of his compositions were added to the Top 1000 trance music tracks of all times. Kindzadza believes that only dance can bring inner and outer peace, therefore his energetic trance will bring the Psy Meadow party to the point where it cannot be resisted by any live organism of the reserve. Tundra will also welcome Phobos from Italy-based label Looney Moon Records, and Shane Gobi, the founder of Alchemy Records and author of tonic rhythms. In case there is still enough energy after the long night dances in the meadow, the party will continue on the Psy Beach stage.

Wetland creatures will awaken from slumber to join the feast on the Bass Swamp stage launched by the dubstep master Kahn who was titled the best producer of 2012 in the Bass Music Awards. Kahn’s Dread was elected the best track of 2012. Another exciting news is dBridge! Representative of one of the strongest UK labels Metalheadz and the owner of Exit Records will occupy two stages: he will ripple the Bass Swamp as dBridge, the master of bass, and shatter the Techno Hill as a new, but nonetheless exciting and loveable project Velvit. We are also anticipating Clubroot from the UK, whose organic melodies combine subtle emotions and crude masculinity. He will be accompanied by the inhabitants of Lithuanian forests, including S13, Erelio Akis aka Daimon, Pakas, YouWin, Hathor & Sotus, Rus Dawg, Chipak and many more wonderful acts from vast wetlands across the world.

The Techno Hill is already crowned with quite a crew of famous names led by The Orb, Deadbeat and Perc. The dream team was recently joined by the aforementioned Velvit aka dBridge who is familiar to the older festival-goers and clubbers, but also mind-opening to the younger generation. He will definitely be the most fearsome beast of the reserve, so his show cannot be missed. Many techno species have evolved in the mild and favourable climate of Great Britain: dBridge will be joined by his countryman, electronic music producer and DJ Casual Violence, who will pour his perfectly mixed techno lava under the heat-resistant feet of the Tundra’s ants. The Techno Hill crew will be joined by the Russian techno bruiser Krankiss, hard techno maker Proton from Germany, Gesta from Latvia, Lithuanians Android & Anber, Hallucin, Calli, Anna Hanna, Cyber and other techno virtuosos.

Gentler conditions will prevail in the Chill Out Forest. Listeners will be enchanted by the magic melodies of the UK-based Polish composer Kuba, who’s warm and deep sounds will spread positive energy all over the forest. Faster rhythms will be brought under the threes by the record spinners The Asthmatix from Australia combining hip hop, Middle Eastern klezmer and jazz. Peaceful atmosphere will be restored by the Lithuanian reserve guards Gonzaless, Droop, InSearch, Junior Pecos and the audience-elected project Umiko.

Exhaustive playlist of the Festival can be found here. The 10th Tundra will be memorable, so start planning your trip to the magic peninsula of Lake Dūburys.

The festival of alternative electronic music Tundra turns 10 this year. It is an important event in the context or the relatively young festival culture in Lithuania, which will be marked on the peninsula of Lake Dūburys, Zarasai District, on July 11–14. The statistics is quite eloquent: during the decade the Festival hosted almost one thousand acts and over 30,000 festival goers, it has seen hundreds of thousands lake dives, unbearable droughts, flooding showers, and – most importantly – a countless number of memorable moments.

“10 is an important number and we are dead serious about it,” say the organisers. “Tundra has been returning to the peninsula for several years in a row and helped shape its unique and sound environment, which has to be conserved therefore the anniversary festival was given the status of a music reserve. We have no explanation for the unique gathering of psy trance, bass, techno, and ambient ecosystems on the peninsula at this time of the year, but we can guarantee that this unique phenomenon will go on for 4 days,” promised the organisers.

Pioneers of ambient music

The first species in the Red Book of the music reserve will be the British duo The Orb arriving with the entire Sound System crew – they will be performing on the festival’s Techno Stage. In the 80s, the act began mixing acid and Chicago house with the effects of early electronic synthesizers and now can certainly be called the pioneers of ambient techno. Depeche Mode, Primal Scream and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd are just a few of the many who have collaborated on the albums and remixes of the British duo. Last year, a new record was released together with Jamaican reggae producer Lee “Scratch” Perry.

From the legendary single Little Fluffy Clouds to the modern electronic dub treasury The Orbserver in the Star House, the relentless producers have been exhilarating the world with their unique ambient techno for 25 years. The tag of ambient music pioneers was earned for the act by the legendary Thomas Fehlmann and Youth from Killing Joke who were members of the band at some point of time, and by the curious and bold sound experiments that re-wrote the history of electronic music.

Four nights in the music reserve

However The Orb will not be the only weird phenomenon in the unique Tundra reserve. The performance of the techno music pearl Perc from Great Britain has already been confirmed. The sound of this DJ, touring the world non-stop, is a harmonious combination of modern techno and early electronic, while famous clubs, such as Berghain, Fabric, Tresor, Space Ibiza and the Tokyo-based Unit, across the world have become home to this talented record spinner. Deadbeat, the maestro of dub techno currently exploring the territories of dubstep will come from Canada, and Oculta, the founder of Braindrop label, will make his first trip to Europe from India. They will be joined by Kikx from the Italian record company Purple Hexagon Records. DJ Gold aka Gold Dubs from V Recordings family has also confirmed his appearance.

As always, protectors of harmony and peace of nature will stretch their hammocks in the refuge of the forest. The magic of sound will be conjured by the representatives of the subgenre of classic and electronic dub Voodoo Tapes and PARA from Italy; they will be joined by the live performers from Lithuanian forests Ministry of Echology meets Eazystyle ir Dubenėlis.
