That's funny, Sara Kolster and I are planning a tour through Latvia, 
Lithuania and Estonia from August to October ;-) Details to come soon on 
this list, I promise...

First place in Riga to contact would be the Audiot label. They are 
pretty much the focal point of interesting music in Latvia, and can turn 
you on to a lot of interesting artists form the Baltic region. Kiryll 
Lomunov is the head of the project, and half of the group Oloolo, along 
with Rodion Zolotarev [who speaks far better English than Kiryll... how 
is your Russian, BTW? ;-)]. Max Shentelev [aka My-ym] is also one very 
interesting artist and downright nice guy on this label.

The RIXC is an arts center who host a lot of events to do with 
electronic communications, open source, new media, webstreaming, 
networked society, etc. Although not entirely related music, they are 
very nice people! Rasa and Raitis Smits are the directors, and Ieva 
Auzina or Signe Pucina are two lovely ladies to chat with [if they 
aren't too busy!].

If you are up for a real trek into the bush, look up John Grzinich at 
the MOKS center in Mooste, Estonia. Sara and I will be participating in 
the PostsovkhoZ 4 event there from 6-16 August.

Of course, in Tallin there is events around the ISEA festival:

including the Koneisto festival:

and a Mutek showcase featuring Skoltz_Kolgen:
