Samopal2 story
Chapter 4: First season (2/2)
The photo you see us three standing on a dj table was made after the first techno po tiltu we made entirely ourselves as the samopal2 team. The lamps worth 1.5k were stolen, but we made our dreams come true and booked a Nico Moreno under the bridge anyway. After that, we went on a trip with a Volkswagen bus to Zakopane and Berlin as a team-building journey.
The first season was like love at first sight.
We never planned any of it. We were so naive and innocent. We had no time to talk and define our relationship. It just happened. After a rave in the morning, we were asking ourselves: "Are we doing it again? I don’t know. We did it before somehow, so somehow we will make it happen again. Lets do it."
After the summer comes autumn, and after the laughter comes tears.
Not everything was perfect during a season, but there was no time to worry about that and to be picky. I worked with what was available. I didn’t hire them, so I was happy to have a team. Only after the season, there was more time to reflect on what have happened and what is the future of this project.
There was already some tension between us and I did a wintertime party in the pedestrian subway alone without the other two to show that I have my vision myself, I know what I want to do and achieve and "hold my beer, watching how I’m doing what you told me is impossible".
That winter Martynas Galiauskas drifted apart and became a member of other promoters’ team.
