Nikolajs Puzikovs Releases His Own “Snowflake!

Singer Nikolajs Puzikovs, often called the “singing policeman,” continues to balance his career in law enforcement while consistently performing and recording new songs. His latest track, “Snowflake” was created in collaboration with songwriter and singer Gatis Mūrnieks, who recently celebrated his 35th birthday with a special concert. Gatis has also written several successful songs for Nikolajs. Artūrs Palkevičs handled the song’s production.

Nikolajs shares:
“I realized I didn’t have my Christmas song a while ago. It wasn’t long before Gatis offered me this one. He wrote it with my life changes in mind — I now have someone who always waits for me at home, thinks about me, and greets me with kind words – someone who is my own snowflake. I love this song and truly feel that it’s mine. A big thank you to Artūrs for the production, to Jānis Čubars for recording the vocals in Ogre, to Dween for the video, and to my brother Oļegs, who helped out a bit with some additional filming.”

Gatis adds:
“Nikolajs and I have a long-standing friendship. Sometimes, he participates in my events, and vice versa. Writing songs for him is a joy because he excels at expressing emotionally charged songs like this one. I wish him all the best in his new relationship! Who knows, maybe this song will even be played at his wedding…”
The song “Snowflake” is available on all major streaming and download platforms.

Maestro Raimonds Pauls, even though he is almost 89, is still looking for new voices and finds them. This time, it is Latvian National Opera bass singer Edgars Ošleja. The new album is coming out tomorrow on MicRec Label. Listen to his outstanding vocal performance and this new Pauls song – "Klusais vīrs" (The Quiet Man). This song is like a slowly flowing river, like life itself. It's the story of an old, quiet man who lives in the countryside, goes about his work, and lives each new day as if it were his last.

Relicseed Celebrates 20 Years On Stage with a Powerful Performance at Palladium Riga!

On the evening of October 26, Latvian metal fans gathered at Palladium Riga to celebrate Relicseed's 20th anniversary. The atmosphere was friendly yet filled with anticipation, as a Relicseed concert in Latvia is a rare occurrence—the band often performs outside the country’s borders.

The evening began with a warm-up set by the Latvian hard and heavy band Bloody Heels. The group is perhaps more familiar to international audiences, having performed in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, and beyond.

Following a brief intermission, Relicseed themselves took the stage. A giant screen displayed the band’s emblem, a small red devil holding a pitchfork, and the words Relicseed Turns The World. The audience sprang to life as the first chords sounded, clapping, shouting, and jumping along to the energetic rhythms and guitar riffs.

The crowd responded with genuine excitement to Relicseed’s unique covers of Es karājos tavā bizē by Līvi and Taisnība by Zodiaks, the latter of which featured guest vocalist Aija Vītoliņa alongside the band.

The concert's visual design, created by lighting director Matīss Lucis and video artist Vladislavs Gončarovs, added a special touch to the performance. At the same time, experienced sound engineer Didzis Simanovics ensured powerful sound quality.

MicRec Publishing organized the concert. It had worked with Relicseed since 2014 when the band released Slaughterhouse, an album recorded in the USA at Tranzformer Studios with producer Bryan Carlstrom.

Founded in 2004, the metal band Relicseed has gone through various lineups. Their journey began with the debut album 60 Minutes of a Dream in 2010, which led to their first European concerts. A year later, they headlined the Metallibash 2011: 3 Decades of Damage event in San Francisco, CA, USA. In 2014, they released the album Slaughterhouse, which was quickly recognized and nominated for Latvia’s Zelta Mikrofons as Best Rock and Metal Album. The summer of 2014 saw Relicseed touring across the USA, and soon after, Slaughterhouse won Best Metal/Hardcore Album at the 14th annual Independent Music Awards in the USA.

In 2021, the band released their third album, Ideology. In 2024, members Janis Narbuts, Kārlis Šteinmanis, and Edgars Rakovskis reunited, releasing the comeback single The Difference, followed by Neitrālais and the Jānis Lūsēns hit Taisnība, recorded with vocalist Aija Vītoliņa. Drummer Dainis Paškēvičs joined the band in preparation for their anniversary concert, and the group is now working on a new album.

“Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi” Spins the Carousel!

The band Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi presents its latest release, the single “Karuselis.” The music and lyrics were created by all band members, and the production was done by drummer Pēteris Lunde, who also produced their previous album. “Karuselis” is the second single from their upcoming seventh studio album, set for release next year under the label MicRec.

“The new song reflects today’s fast-paced life, or as we call it, the carousel – relationships, work, hobbies, successes, overcoming challenges, and fears. We have two options: hold on tight and enjoy the ride, or not get on at all,” says Pēteris Lunde about the song.

A music video for the second single, “Karuselis” has also been released. The video features actors Madara Kalna and Hugo Puriņš, filmed by ĪZĪ MEDIA in the amusement park “Avārijas Brigāde.”

This weekend, on Friday, October 11, at 8:00 PM, “Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi” invites fans to their 30th Anniversary Concert at the “Palladium” concert hall in Riga. The two-hour concert will feature all the band’s greatest hits, as well as their latest songs – “Fizikas Likums” and “Karuselis.”

Tickets are available through Biļešu Serviss: [Link: https://www.bilesuserviss.lv/lat/biletes/muzika/pienvedeja-piedzivojumu-30-gadu-jubilejas-koncerts-432188/]

We just wrapped up our first 'Maestro Songwriting Camp.' On the first day, participants heard from experts—Mikk Targo (Estonia), who created the project estonianevergreens.com, and Grammy winner Mattias Bylund (Sweden), who received a Grammy for his work on Taylor Swift's album 1989 and is currently working on Max Martin projects. His string arrangements can be heard in recordings by Ariana Grande, Justin Timberlake, Pink, The Weeknd, and more. On the first day of the camp, musicians worked on new arrangements of Maestro Raimonds Pauls' songs, and on the second day, they created new Christmas songs! And you know what? We have new hits! Until the next camp!"

The Latvian metal music band Relicseed, while preparing for their 20th-anniversary concert at the "Palladium" concert hall, which will take place on October 25th, is also creating new surprises for their listeners. One of these surprises is a new version of Jānis Lūsēns' song "Taisnība" (lyrics by Edvards Treimanis-Zvārgulis), which has especially pleased the composer Jānis Lūsēns this time: "Well done. A perfect version. Great sound and interesting harmonies. I like it!"
The band members Rakovskiis, Kārlis Šteimanis, and Jānis Narbuts produced the song. The video version was created by Jānis Štāls in collaboration with Jānis Narbuts.

The group leader, Edgars Rakovskis, comments: "We had already thought of our version of 'Taisnība' during the creation of our debut album, but at that time, we didn't even get to the demo recording. The arrangement and the idea of collaborating with Aija Vītoliņa found us; we just had to execute it. If the original author also praised the result, it would be a great honor for us. We look forward to seeing everyone at the anniversary concert in October and are preparing for it in a special way!!"

CD Release: The band "Tumsa"'s first album "1996"! Only 10 copies left!

With the support of the "Mārtiņš Freimanis Foundation" and SIA "Baltijas Elektro Sabiedrība," the band "Tumsa"'s first, previously unreleased 14-song album "1996" has now been released in CD format. As the title suggests, it was recorded in 1996 in Liepāja at the "Rietumu Radio" studio. At the time, these recordings were copied onto just a few audiotapes and were not publicly available. Technically, the recording is incomplete, but it holds significant historical value.

This album features a slightly different Mārtiņš Freimanis compared to the band's later albums. The recording features the band's founder Jānis Daugalis (bass), Mārtiņš Freimanis (vocals, guitar), Haralds Drekslers (guitar), Zigmārs Sula (keyboard instruments), and Kaspars Boroduško (drums).

The album includes the following songs:

Meli

Manai zemei sāp

Dejo

Rudens diena

Aizejot

Skumjais prieks

Zibens

You'll See

Take Those Away

Just Call Me

I've Got You

Let's Put Together

Impossible World

Time

The songs were written by Jānis Daugalis, Mārtiņš Freimanis, Haralds Drekslers, Māris Zonnenbergs – Zambergs, Fēlikss Ķiģelis, and Andrejs Kurcijs. The album had already been available for two weeks on streaming and download platforms worldwide: https://orcd.co/tumsa1996

In total, 100 CDs were available for sale, and those who pre-ordered also received Daiga Mazvērsīte's book "My Friend Mārtiņš Freimanis" as a gift.

There are currently 10 copies of the album left! No additional editions of this album will be made, so it can already be considered a rarity, which will grace the CD shelves of only 100 selected Latvian music listeners. The album's design was originally created by Jānis Daugalis, and it was restored and updated by artist Guntars Petris.

Also, the band's new album, "Restless Gulls," with the current lineup, is not far away. Its release is scheduled for November 1st this year, and it will be marked by a concert at the First Rock Café in Riga, Mārstaļu Street 2, Old Riga.
