Since his first release in 2014, Gardens of God has been building himself a sterling reputation that many can only dream of. This Autumn sees the Lithuanian DJ and producer launch his own Sodai imprint, with his own two track production ‘River / Ghost EP’ forming the debut release.

‘River’ opens with a captivating force and level of intricacy that’s undeniably a Gardens Of God signature production. ‘Ghost’ is highly emotive and charged, a record that unfolds with such force taking overarching white noise and horns to command the peak of the night.

The creation of the Sodai label arose as an outlet to release his own music at his own pace. As he explains, ‘[Sodai will allow me] to experiment with my sounds and create an ongoing project that gives me the freedom to style both with art and music’.

Minidaugas Lapinskis aka Gardens of God has only released a handful of EP’s and yet his name is often spoken with great regard among fellow artists, including the illustrious Maceo Plex. For over a decade Gardens of God has been steadily mastering his craft and creating both film and television scores. It is only in recent years that he has decided to unveil his work and open the doors to his studio, as seen over at XLR8R.
