Igloo vă invită miercuri, 6 noiembrie 2025, la vernisajul expoziției „25 de ani de arhitectură românească contemporană. O arhivă vizuală”, găzduită de spațiul Scânteia PLUS, un eveniment care marchează un sfert de secol de transformări, experimente și consolidări în arhitectura contemporană din România. Expoziția poate fi vizitată în perioada 6 – 27 noiembrie 2025.
Proiectul își propune, în premieră, să documenteze și să prezinte evoluția arhitecturii din România din intervalul 2000 – 2025, ilustrată în peste 100 de proiecte semnate de birouri și arhitecți reprezentativi pentru această perioadă.
Astfel, igloo expune o arhivă vizuală coerent structurată, care aduce împreună expresii relevante ale arhitecturii recente, de la inovația formală și dialogul cu patrimoniul, până la contribuțiile la dezvoltarea sustenabilă a mediului construit.
"În ultimii 25 de ani, arhitectura românească a crescut odată cu noi: și-a găsit vocea între entuziasmul începuturilor și rigoarea maturității. Dorința de a ne alinia la standarde internaționale, de a exprima o cultură locală dinamică, în transformare, a făcut ca arhitectura să devină un limbaj comun, un reper al evoluției societății.
Proiectul nostru compune mai mult decât o arhivă vizuală sau o colecție de lucrări de referință, și poate fi citit ca o hartă vie a acestor confruntări și schimbări: modernizarea orașelor, tensiunea dintre patrimoniu și nou, apariția designului colectiv, maturizarea unei gândiri ecologice. Fiecare proiect expus e un fragment de conversație: despre cum locuim, cum lucrăm, cum construim împreună orașe mai bune.
De 25 de ani, igloo a fost martor, cronicar și catalizator al acestor transformări. Prin pagini, imagini și dialoguri, am construit împreună o memorie comună a profesiei. Expoziția 25 de ani de arhitectură românească contemporană aduce această memorie în spațiul public: ca loc de reflecție, dar și de celebrare; o invitație de a privi înainte, cu aceeași curiozitate și încredere în puterea formelor de a schimba lumea."
(Anda Zota, arhitect și redactor-șef igloo)

OITO//OITO return with a new two-track single on their self-titled imprint, this time joined by acclaimed DJ and internationally recognized actor Nuno Lopes.
Mind Body Soul by OITO//OITO feat. Nuno Lopes“Mind Body Soul” blends hypnotic grooves with timeless house sensibilities, elevated by Nuno Lopes’ unmistakable deep vocal presence. A future classic in the making, the track taps into the genre’s spiritual roots, a homage to the enduring mantra of house: unity of mind, body, and soul.
Flipping to the B-side, “GR8” (read: great) delivers a stripped-back, floor-ready cut packed with house staples — a rolling bassline, sharp piano stabs, and a dose of squelchy 303 acid. It’s a track that honors the foundations of house music while injecting it with a fresh, contemporary twist.
With this release, OITO//OITO continue to blur the lines between classic homage and forward-thinking production, offering a dual statement of intent for dancefloors worldwide.

Kormac follows his recent single Down Below with Hazy, a track inspired by nighttime memories of Dublin city.
Where Down Below leaned into raw modular textures, Hazy looks back to Kormac’s first experiences of club culture – not just the music, but the journeys between venues, the faces in the crowd, and the fleeting camaraderie that made the city feel alive.
“I started DJing very shortly after I started going to clubs,” he says. “At the time Dublin was small and blaggable, full of weekly nights with residents who really knew their craft. We’d move between venues - my first real exposure to proper house music - and the best parts were often the moments on the street in between.”
Musically, Hazy balances melodic, atmospheric house with the basement grit of Detroit techno, combining rich synth tones with the rough edges of drum machines. Written entirely on analog hardware, the track captures the sodium-lit blur of voices, traffic and passing music, more about the anticipation of what’s next than the beat in the moment.
The single marks the ninth release on Kormac’s Always The Sound imprint, and is part of his new live AV show, where he performs with live electronics alongside custom 3D visuals.
With three albums, hundreds of live shows, 80M+ streams and scoring work for BBC, Sky, ITV and more, Kormac continues to move fluidly between scratch DJ roots, widescreen electronica, and film composition. Hazy ties those strands together, offering a deeply personal reflection on the nights that shaped him.
Kormac – Hazy is out now on Always The Sound
Toolroom proudly welcomes Ferreck Dawn onto the label with his infectious new production ‘Serious’.
Known for his chart-topping releases on labels Defected, Relief and Kitball, Ferreck’s productions have always garnered support from A list DJs including Carl Cox, Mark Knight, Nic Fanciulli, Luciano, Green Velvet and Richy Ahmed. ‘Serious’ has become somewhat of a secret weapon over the summer with its heavy weight production, 80s feel good vibes and a seriously catchy vocal.
Finally getting a full release, Ferreck Dawn’s latest production’s set to ignite dancefloors the world over.
Well-known for his underground stories, Romanian artist Andu Simion returns with a fresh release on the DRG Limited series, a versatile EP crafted to surprise and keep the crowd moving. The mastering is signed by Dragutesku at DRG Mastering, and the artwork by Trik at G90 Production Studio.
It looks like Andu has been on a creative streak this year, releasing a string of projects that dive deep into the essence of electronic music. His recent works include "Code Shot EP" on Moods & Grooves, the self-released "Lost and Found – Episode 1", and "Terrific EP" on Howl Records, where he introduces his new collaboration, Timbral Shift with Vlad Arapasu. He also dropped the B2B project "Acid Poles EP" with Unisson on UNS Records, along with a remix for Tobias Laun's "Atlantis EP" on Tzinah Records.
"Medusa Patch was born during a winter studio session. Coffee on the table, machines switched on, it evolved into a deep breakbeat blend marked by dense rhythmic patterns and glitch-infused textures. It captures both the casual spontaneity of the moment and the raw focus of hands-on experimentation." - Andu Simion
"Captain Caveman EP" delivers four distinct tracks, each with its own identity. From the sunny breaks of our featured track "Medusa Patch" and the textured, glitched sounds of "Glitchy Apology", to "Symmetric VII" which can take any dancefloor by storm and the title track "Captain Caveman" that blends driving rhythms with a mystical melodic touch, the whole journey explores the intricacies of minimal music while being imfused with groovy arrangements meant to inspire.

f: Hi Maxinne, it's a pleasure to chat with you today. How are you?
Maxinne: Hey, you too! Thanks for having me, I’m good, thank you.
f: Please tell us a little about yourself, where you're from and how you started making dance music?
Maxinne: from the south coast of England, and grew up in a small village near Brighton. Music was always a big part of my life from a young age in my household. The first genres I got into were House, Garage, and Hip-Hop. When I moved to London for university, that’s when I really started DJ’ing and producing music. It began purely out of my love for music, but the curiosity to explore it more deeply just kept growing until I decided to commit to it full-time.
f: Who did you listen to growing up and do they influence your music career at all today?
Maxinne: My early influences were Hip-Hop and Garage, which still heavily inspire the music I make today. Growing up, there’s a few stand out albums which I had on constant repeat — Dr. Dre, Craig David, Alicia Keys, and those classic Ministry of Sound compilations.
f: How would you describe your sound?
Maxinne: My sound is driven by energy and groove — crisp, punchy drums layered with soulful melodies and textures.
f: What was one of your first release?
Maxinne: My first EP release was Dusk Till Dawn on Knee Deep In Sound in 2019. I sent the tracks to Hot Since 82 without expecting much of a response, and I remember watching a live DJ Mag stream of him at Coda in Toronto and then Ultra Miami — and hearing my tracks being mixed in. I was absolutely buzzing! Avision and Darius Syrossian also remixed two of the tracks on the EP, and it went on to get loads of support.
f: Which of your own tracks was the biggest labour of love to create / personal favourite?
Maxinne: My album Red Alert was definitely a labour of love. I wanted to tell a story with it and really showcase who I am as an artist through that body of work. I never actually planned to make an album so early in my career, but I felt like I had more to give to my audience. I was in such a creative space at the time, making loads of music and then Covid hit, which gave me even more time to dive deeper into it. The timing ended up being perfect, and when it was finally released, it connected with a lot of people, which meant a lot to me, and I went on my first US tour with the album.
f: And your most successful release?
Maxinne: I don’t really measure success by numbers on a screen, not by Spotify plays or social media stats. For me, success is when a track connects on a deeper level with me, other DJs, and my audience and still feels fresh when I listen back to it. One that really stands out is “What We Do” featuring Cami Jones. The track came together really organically, without any expectations of how it would turn out. Cami and I have known each other for years, so writing and creating it was just pure fun — and seeing it released and resonate with people made it even more special.
f: You’ve just returned to Yousef’s Circus Recordings with your new release, ‘Come Closer’ EP, what we can expect to hear?
Maxinne: Both tracks bring something unique and different, which is something I always aim for when putting together an EP. I don’t like staying in one box — I always stay true to the foundations of what I love in a track: a driving bassline, punchy percussion, and catchy vocals — but stylistically, I like to explore and push things a bit further. That approach also works well in my sets because it allows me to build a journey that keeps evolving and doesn’t sound the same all the way through. But within my productions, you’ll always hear the identity and groove that define ‘Maxinne’. Come Closer has a deeper vibe — the bassline is inspired by acid house, layered with a topline synth and Aleya’s catchy vocals throughout. Higher, on the other hand, brings in Garage influences with Lumi’s vocals really elevating the track.
f: Are you pleased with the results?
Maxinne: I’m really proud of this EP. it feels like a true reflection of where I am right now as an artist. I’ve put a lot of energy into it, and I’m so excited for everyone to finally hear it.
f: Please tell us a little more about Aleya Mae and LUMI who feature on the EP?
Maxinne: They’re both artists I really respect in the industry. Aleya has been releasing some incredible music recently, and I actually discovered her this year. Her vocal style fits perfectly with my sound and was exactly what I wanted for the A-side of the EP. Lumi is a DJ, producer, and vocalist, and I love her style — it’s sultry, sassy, and made for big-room energy. Both of them brought something really special to each track.
f: You’ve also recently launched your own Red Alert label, how’s that all going so far?
Maxinne: It’s going really well. Every release so far is something I’m really proud of. We’ve got a release coming soon from myself and after that from Jordano Roosevelt — he’s a producer I’ve rated for many years and really represents the sound of the label. I love listening to demos that come through and spending time A&R’ing tracks to bring out the best in them. I’ve discovered some incredible producers through running the label, and it’s amazing to be able to give them a platform as well.
f: And what are the plans for the label moving forwards?
Maxinne: Next year we have lots of releases lined up, and we’ll also be launching events, so it’s an exciting time.
f: What’s your favourite piece of studio kit?
Maxinne: It changes, but I love using the FabFilter and Soundtoys plugins. For basslines, I’m really into Serum right now, and I also love working with Moog.
f: What’s been your favourite gig so far this year and where are you most looking forward to performing soon?
Maxinne: Making my debut for Circus was incredible. I opened up at Blackstone Street Warehouse, and I loved building the energy and setting the tone for the day. I’ve wanted to play for Circus for years, and it was everything I expected and more. Next weekend, I’m playing at Wicked Oaks Festival in Dallas alongside Sosa, Luuk Van Dijk, Mahony, and more, which is going to be sick — and then again for Circus in December, I can’t wait.
f: Looking back, what precious music career advice would you give to your younger self?
Maxinne: I’d say just go for it and put yourself out there, because that’s when things really start to happen. Always trust the process and keep putting in the work, but most importantly, follow what you love. You can’t do something you don’t enjoy — it won’t last. Focus on the things that genuinely make you excited to wake up every day and give your best.
f: Which dance track holds the most precious memories for you?
Maxinne: The Nic Fanciulli remix of Sub-An-This Place is one for me. When I first started DJ’ing around East London in small-cap venues, this track would go off every time. Another one is Dennis Ferrer’s Sights — both tracks have incredible vocals and basslines that just stick with you.
f: Who are your top 3 current producers?
Maxinne: Ammo Avenue, Jordano Roosevelt and Max Mash.
f: What else are you working on at the moment that you can tell us about?
Maxinne: Music-wise, there’s lots of exciting things in the works that I’ll be revealing soon — releases, shows, and more. Outside of music, I’ve been really focused on my fitness and health — feeling good on the inside helps me be the best version of myself creatively, and it’s something I’ll always strive for.
Maxinne ‘Come Closer’ EP is out now on Circus Recordings.
With a multi-decade spanning back catalogue behind him, Bearface aka Raj Panasa shows no signs of slowing down. Over the years, he has built a sturdy reputation around his distinct and innovative feel-good touch, whether that be on his own Beartone Records, or the many other labels he has shared his classy sound with.
“Remakes and Raw Cuts Vol. 1” is the launch of a new vinyl series from the London-based producer, a safe place for him to showcase his eclectic sound, alongside edits and remakes of some of his favourites over the years, all finding a home on his Beartone label.
Starting off on the A side, Bearface provides a funk-fuelled Latin explosion with his version of the classic “Tudo Que Você Podia Ser”, sassy disco attitude ready for the summer months, presenting some unforgivable dance floor mania. The A2 “Got To Be” is an original cut, meandering between playful guitar licks, and stripped-back, hypnotic percussion. There is a curious atmosphere as the track continues to simmer.
On the flip side, an edit from the revered beatmaker. First up, he edits “Tell Me I’m Not Dreamin’” by Jermaine Jackson, the infectious vocal injects a zesty life into a killer electro groove, a playful and animated trip ready to rock the floor! Closing out the EP is the retro-sounding “Everything”, the robotic vocal flashes in and out, nodding towards Daft Punk, boasting beautiful strings and crispy hi-hats, bringing that daytime energy.
Bearface is teasing those summer moments with a jam-packed EP brimming with sunshine and positivity. Dive in and feel the fun!

Proiectul cultural „Breaking the Silence: A Visual Narrative on Emotions Left Unspoken”, organizat de Asociația Empower Art & Artists și co-finanțat de Administrația Fondului Cultural Național, a reușit să genereze interes autentic și să creeze un cadru sigur de reflecție și dialog în jurul unei teme mai puțin discutate în spațiul public - depresia.
Un debut curajos într-un spațiu atipic
Expoziția “Breaking the Silence! A Visual Narrative on Emotions Left Unspoken”, prezentată într-un spațiu neconvențional - ParkLake Shopping Center, a marcat lansarea unei inițiative culturale curajoase. Alegerea acestui cadru, în afara celor instituționale (muzee și galerii de artă), areflectă misiunea asociației de a aduce arta contemporană mai aproape de oameni, și, implicit, discuțiile despre sănătatea mintală.
Expoziția a reunit 13 artiști români, emergenți și consacrați, activi pe scena locală și internațională: Filip Caranica, Tina Chiriță, Lucia Ghegu, Albert Kaan, Andreea Naherniac, Alina Marinescu, Andreea Mihalka, Mihaela Moldovan, Larisa Petcuț, Alexandru Rădvan, Maia-Ștefana Oprea, Iulia Toma și Miki Velciov.
Lucrările acestora, instalații artistice, colaje, video-art sau mixed media, au explorat emoțiile și stările invizibile asociate depresiei, dar și procesele lente și intime de vindecare.
O temă greu de abordat, dar necesară
Proiectul a fost conceput ca o platformă multidisciplinară de reflecție, combinând arta vizuală cu art performance, ateliere de terapie prin artă, tururi ghidate și sesiuni de discuții cu specialiști din domenii diverse, dedicate publicului. Tema depresiei – adesea stigmatizată sau ignorată – a fost tratată cu empatie și profunzime, deschizând un spațiu de dialog și interacțiune care încurajează și sprijină exprimarea, înțelegerea și acceptarea emoțiilor.
Evenimentul conex „Darul din Emoții”, desfășurat la Librăria Cărturești ParkLake, a fost moderat de scriitorul Marius Chivu, iar printre invitați s-au numărat persoane publice: actrița Ada Galeș și tenismenul Horia Tecău, și profesioniști din domeniul sănătății, artelor și educației: Cinty Ionescu – artistă, Ioana Necula – CEO Genesis College, Diana Onilă – psiholog și psihoterapeut, Simona Trifu – medic psihiatru.
Prin poveștile lor personale și expertiza profesională, aceștia au explorat cum se manifestă depresia, și cum poate fi recunoscută, înțeleasă și abordată cu empatie.
Voci artistice: despre tăcere, atingere și memorie
Pentru Filip Caranica participareaa fost strâns legată de o experiență personală și simbolică:
„La MNAC, la o expoziție retrospectivă dedicată tatălui meu, sculptorul Mihai Caranica, care a murit în 2023, am cunoscut-o pe Angela Izvercian de la Asociația Empower Art & Artists. Ea lucra atunci la o expoziție cu artiști care, prin lucrările lor, explorau tema depresiei – expoziția <>. Un statement puternic, mi s-a părut.
Invitația de a participa cu două dintre lucrările mele a fost pentru mine nu doar o ocazie de a expune pentru prima dată în București, orașul meu natal. Mi-a oferit contextul de a contribui la deschiderea unui nou dialog în România despre depresie – un subiect care, la fel ca multe altele legate de sănătatea mintală, este, încă mult prea des stigmatizat.
Oprimarea din perioada lui Ceaușescu, schimbările sociale și economice de după Revoluție, poveștile familiilor care s-au risipit apoi prin lume, experiența migrației – sunt doar câteva dintre motivele pentru care oamenii pot ajunge să simtă o povară psihică copleșitoare.
A vorbi despre astfel de lucruri mi se pare esențial pentru o societate puternică și sănătoasă. Cine spune că sănătatea noastră poate fi neglijată, cred că greșește măcar prin faptul că nu vede cum problemele psihice, netratate, tind să se adâncească. De multe ori, ele se transmit din generație în generație.”
Prin lucrarea sa, Mihaela Moldovan aduce în discuție tăcerile adânc înrădăcinate în viața domestică.
„Participarea mea în proiectul <> a reprezentat o ocazie de a reflecta asupra tăcerilor cotidiene care se nasc din activitățile domestice ale femeilor – acele gesturi repetitive și invizibile care structurează viața de zi cu zi, dar care adesea o golesc de timp personal.
Tema proiectului a rezonat profund cu preocupările mele artistice legate de rolurile impuse, sacrificiul și nevoia de regăsire prin creație.
Lucrarea mea vorbește despre interiorul unei vieți casnice și despre dublul ei sens – unul vizibil și ordonat, celălalt ascuns și adesea neglijat. Am ales hârtia ca material principal pentru fragilitatea ei, dar și pentru capacitatea de a reține urme și straturi de memorie. Compozițiile de mari dimensiuni, încadrate într-o formă hexagonală cu o latură deschisă, invită privitorul să pătrundă simbolic în interiorul acestui spațiu intim, domestic.
Acea “latură liberă” este metafora unei deschideri – a posibilității de a privi, de a recunoaște și de a transforma tăcerea în dialog. Pentru mine, arta devine un instrument de vindecare și de recuperare a propriei voci, acolo unde rutina și datoria au ocupat un loc prea mare.”
Într-un registru diferit, dar la fel de introspectiv, Tina Chiriță explorează relația dintre corp, atingere și procesul artistic ca formă de prezență:
„Participarea în proiectul <> a fost pentru mine o experiență de introspecție și de reconectare. Seria “INDIGO / Fragments of Self” a apărut într-un moment în care simțeam nevoia de a mă întoarce la lucrurile esențiale – la corp, la senzații, la prezent.
În perioadele de izolare sau de închidere în sine, atingerea — atât fizică, cât și simbolică — capătă o altă greutate. Devine o formă de apropiere, de înțelegere, de regăsire.
Prin lucrările din această serie am încercat să explorez această relație dintre atingere și cunoaștere, dintre vulnerabilitate și rezistență. Materialele folosite, în special hârtia de mătase vopsită, au o fragilitate care obligă la grijă, la atenție, la o prezență completă în timpul procesului. Pentru mine, lucrul cu ele a fost un mod de a transforma starea de tăcere sau de distanță interioară într-un gest creativ.
În contextul temei despre depresie, lucrarea nu vorbește direct despre suferință, ci mai degrabă despre încercarea de a restabili o legătură cu lumea — prin gesturi mici, prin texturi, prin ritmul lent al lucrului manual. A fost o ocazie de a înțelege cum procesul artistic poate deveni o formă de prezență și de vindecare tăcută.”
Voci artistice: despre tăcere, atingere și memorie
Pentru Filip Caranica, participarea în proiect a fost mai mult decât un gest artistic – a fost o contribuție personală la deschiderea unui dialog necesar despre depresie: „Invitația de a participa cu două dintre lucrările mele mi-a oferit șansa de a contribui la un nou dialog despre depresie – un subiect încă mult prea stigmatizat în România. Problemele psihice netratate tind să se adâncească și, de multe ori, se transmit din generație în generație.”
Mihaela Moldovan a vorbit despre tăcerea cea care se ascunde în gesturile domestice invizibile ale vieții cotidiene: „Tăcerile cotidiene care se nasc din activitățile domestice ale femeilor au fost punctul de plecare al lucrării mele. Arta devine aici o formă de recunoaștere și o deschidere simbolică spre dialog și vindecare.”
Pentru Tina Chiriță, proiectul a fost un prilej de întoarcere la esențial și de explorare a fragilității ca forță creativă: „Seria INDIGO / Fragments of Self a fost modul meu de a reda atingerea – fizică și simbolică – ca formă de prezență și reconectare. Procesul artistic a devenit o formă de vindecare tăcută.”
Comunitatea „Breaking the Silence” – spațiu online de dialog și sprijin
Comunitatea online Breaking the Silence Community extinde proiectul în mediul digital, susținând, totodată, continuitate dialogului în afara spațiului expozițional.
Breaking the Silence Community este o platformă destinată tuturor celor care doresc să exploreze tema depresiei într-un cadru sigur, empatic și lipsit de judecată. Aici, membrii comunității pot accesa resurse educaționale despre sănătatea mintală; pot interacționa cu alți membri care au trecut sau trec prin experiențe similare. De asemenea, pot
adresa întrebări unui medic psihiatru, disponibil periodic pentru a oferi sprijin. Grupul poate fi găsit pe Facebook sub numele: „Breaking the Silence Community”.
Proiectul “Breaking the Silence! continuă cu două intervenții susținute de psihologul Diana Gătej Onilă la Liceul Genesis și la Universitatea Națională de Arte București, un atelier de terapie prin artă destinat elevilor de la Liceul Genesis.

Coming up next on Tzinah Records, we’re thrilled to introduce a fresh name making waves in the underground—Dodi, a rising artist hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. With Incept EP, he delivers a striking debut that immediately caught our ears and hearts. Deep, minimal, and soulfully detailed, his music dances on that delicate line between tension and release, groove and melody—a balance we hold close to our core.
Dodi's sound tells its own story. No need for explanations, no added words—just pure expression through waveforms and rhythm. Each track unfolds like a journey, inviting the listener to let go and follow wherever the groove may lead. It's introspective, it's club-ready, and it’s crafted with an artist's ear for emotion and precision.
Joining him on this release is none other than RWN, who brings his Parisian flair into the fold with a stunning remix of “Ivy”. A master of subtlety and detail, RWN transforms the track into a microhouse gem—elegant, infectious, and undeniably true to his unmistakable sound.
With Incept EP, we proudly welcome Dodi into the Tzinah tribe, and we’re excited to share this chapter with you. It’s a release for those who listen deeply, who dance fully, and who understand that music is a path to something more.
This is the story of Incept EP by Dodi, featuring a remix by RWN, from Tzinah with Love.

f: How did you first get into writing and making music?
DTD: I’ve always loved music, played guitar growing up and started DJing at 14, and the Covid lockdown gave me plenty of time off work to experiment with electronic production.
f: What was the first dance record you bought?
DTD: Define 'Dance'? I was into Reggae and 2-Tone, we used to dance to that… then Electro, I remember buying Afrika Bambaataa & The Soulsonic Force's 'Planet Rock' and it changed me.
f: How would you describe your sound?
DTD: I would say jazzy and soulful.
f: What’s the story behind your name?
DTD: Haha, I am a big Spurs fan (a football team in the UK), and I used to bang a big bass drum at the old White Hart Lane stadium for 12 years to get the crowd going. COYS!
f: Who were your musical influences growing up, and did they have an impact on your sound today?
DTD: Terry Hall, The Specials, Gil Scot Heron, Afrika Bambaataa and Frankie Knuckles, there are too many to mention really. Anyone in or around music has to be influenced by what they have heard.
f: What was your first release?
DTD: My first release was a track called “Jazzcazz” with Emma Noble and Ronnie Turner.
f: Which of your own tracks was the biggest labour of love to create?
DTD: Without a doubt, “The UK House Sermon”. Anyone who knows Stu Patterson will vouch for me on that one. Seriously, though, it took me a fair while to convince Stu to make the track, and we had loads of back and forth to get it right. Then going to Carmy to record vocals and then to Hastings, UK, to get Darren Morris on keys, there were a lot of miles and time spent on the release, but so worth it to me personally at the end.
f: You’ve just released your brilliant new collaborative single ‘’Hurt So Bad’ with Carmy Love, on F*CLR. What can we expect to hear?
DTD: I love live music as well as club stuff. I decided from the off that it had to feature musicians where possible and I’m lucky to have a talented bunch of friends to call on. Expect 60’s Soul with a new sounding dance bassline with Latin beats with Jazz guitar and Sax thrown in, together with the church Soul vocals of the sultry siren Miss Carmy Love.
f: Are you pleased with the results?
DTD: Extremely. It’s turned out so well and the first round of feedback has blown me away, being played by Spoony on BBC Radio 2, John Osbourne on JAZZ FM, together with Ronnie Herel, Brandon Block and Ricky Morrison on Mi - Soul radio and more.
f: There are also some remixes of the single forthcoming from Terry Jones, Leo Zero and North Street West, what did they bring to the table?
DTD: The song has had many versions over the years, I want to take the bits I liked from a number of versions and make a definitive version. So when we discussed the remixes, we decided that each one should have something that our “SHLJ” mix has… So we got Terry on Soul, Leo on Deep House and the No’West gang on Disco.
f: How did you and Carmy Love link up, and will you be working together again in the future?
DTD: Carmy was in a band called New Street Adventure, and I loved their sound, so I followed them, and Carmy and I became friends from my stalking her and her band. Haha! Yes, we will be working together again.
f: What’s been your favourite gig to play at this year?
DTD: Favourite gig this year was on the beach at Stuart Patterson’s “Amor Andalusia” event in Spain. As much as I love music, it’s nothing without lovely people; this party ticks all the boxes.
f: You also have a radio show on Totally Wired Radio. How’s that all going?
DTD: Yeah, I love doing radio, and it's going really well, thanks. I get to play some great music - a mix of soul, Jazz, Funk, House, Disco and Reggae, and I can talk and people can’t interrupt me... winner! Haha! You can catch me once a month on The Love Generation Show. totally wired radio
f: Have you any tips for producers just starting out?
DTD: Yes, trust your ears and don’t try and do it all yourself… Dragons Den moments… Be a part of something brilliant and don’t be all of something average.
f: What’s your favourite song at the moment?
DTD: 'Race Track in France', from the new Brian Jackson LP.
f: What else are you working on at the moment that you can tell us about?
DTD: I am currently making a Jazzy house number with Darren Morris, and I’m nearly finished a new track that Emma Noble and myself have done together. I've also got some more remixes to look at with Terry Jones.
Dan the Drum & Carmy Love ‘Hurt So Bad’ ‘Hurt So Bad’ (Original ‘SHLJ’ Versions) EP is out now on F*CLR.

For this episode, Onderons Records travels to Seoul with 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗼: artist, curator, and founder of the 𝗕𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗗(-) collective, a space where disciplines and sounds intertwine. A plant designer by trade, his music carries the same organic sensibility: warm grooves, flowing lines, and a natural sense of movement.
Since his debut EP BE: UTIFUL, supported by 𝘊𝘢𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦, Jongho has continued to shape his sound with the encouragement of figures like Petre Inspirescu, Crihan, and Thomas Melchior. As a resident at 𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗕 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗘𝗥 and a regular across Korea’s underground, he crafts sets that unfold like stories, connecting deeply with the floor.
Tune in and let Jongho’s blend of rhythm and detail guide you.
Romanian electronic music powerhouse Tzinah Records presents "Tzinah Gate of Golden Memories", a collection of ten tracks signed by Bryz, Utip, Dragusanu, Lucide, Edgar Peng, Octave, Petit Batou, Danilo Schneider, Danielle Nicole and label head Primarie. Standing as a tribute to the iconic Golden Gate club in Berlin, one of the places that helped shape the label's journey, the compilation invites residents and friends to form a stellar line-up that evokes unforgettable nights filled with groove, connection, and pure underground magic.
Early support arrives from artists like Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna, Marco Carola, Vincent Casanova, Spiri:tual, Costin Rp, Luc Ringeisen, Los Bastoneros, Nicolas Duvoisin, Camiel Daamen, vlf and Vern, to name a few.
"This track represents a state of mind when you realise it's time to return to truth - to dissolve illusions and reconnect with what's real. It's that feeling of clarity after confusion, slightly uncomfortable at first but deeply liberating. "Dissolution of the Illusion" is a groovy, high-frequency microhouse piece meant to clear the fog and bring you back to the present. A vocal reminder to stop overthinking and let the rhythm guide you. Born from an inner shift, this track mirrors that delicate threshold where perception cracks and presence expands. It's a sonic ritual for those who dare to see beyond appearances - to feel deeper, to release, and to realign through sound." - Primarie
With "Dissolution of the Illusion", Primarie unleashes a hypnotic groove powered by steady-paced drumming patterns, funky bass shuffles and trippy background arrangements that evolve and transform throughout the track, creating a feeling of rising tension and making the cut perfect for late-night sessions on the dancefloor.
Primarie is a key figure in both local and international underground music scenes, being well known for his distinct blend of microhouse, minimal and psychedelic influences. His musical journey began in 2007, driven by a passion for mixing and a vision to create something truly meaningful.
He spent his early years experimenting with sound at various clubs in Bucharest, only to steadily reach a worldwide audience and become a constant presence at many events, afterparties and major festivals. In 2010, he founded Tzinah Records, a label that has become a beacon for the minimal and microhouse movement, fostering a new generation of artists and serving as a platform for sonic innovation and spiritual elevation.
In 2020, he teamed up with Pisica Pătrată for a live performance featured on our feeder sound live streaming series, combining the modern aspects of electronic music with contemporary art.
For over a decade, Tzinah Records has been dedicated to curating music that transcends trends and hype, focusing instead on deep connection, energy, and pure club experience through collaborations with both established artists and rising stars in the scene. Over time, the label consistently released inspiring titles in both vinyl and digital formats, all while hosting a groovy podcast series, organising memorable showcase events, and handling bookings and other A&R services.

The multi-year Romanian Street Art programme ends with an exhibition, the launch of a printed catalogue, and a street art map. The event honours the contributions of artists and initiatives that, over two years, have reshaped the relationship between art and public space in Romania.
The Romanian Street Art programme invited 26 artists from eight countries, who created 15 artistic interventions in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, and Iași, helping to regenerate urban spaces through contemporary art. Some of the works include QR codes that can be scanned to listen to murals' soundtracks, composed by DJs and electronic music producers such as Cezar Lazăr, Cosmjn, Kozo, and Paul K.
Throughout the project, two open calls, five creative workshops, four guided tours, and an online map of Romania’s latest street art works were organised, aiming to humanise public spaces through art.
The Romanian Street Art exhibition comprises two separate areas, providing visitors with a visual insight into the world of local street art.
Outside the Lente urban living room, street art enthusiasts can explore a series of billboards displayed in public spaces, showcasing the results of the multi-annual programme and works by artists such as Artminina & LBWS Cat (Ucraina), Christopher Dyer (Canada) & Klonism (Regatul Unit), Delia Cîrstea & Roper, Grupa Mosaic (Polonia), Ma.tei, Msero, Pisica Pătrată & Harcea Pacea, Sunshiners (Bulgaria), Zivink (Israel), Zmaja (Serbia), and Zmogk (Rusia).

UK-born, Dubai-based artist David Ramano makes his OVAVA Music debut with the ‘Alaya EP’. The three-track release takes listeners on a journey through spirit, emotion, and dancefloor connection. As an established producer, Ramano is positioned as one of this year’s most exciting talents. Across the EP, he showcases a diverse range of soundscapes, with each track revealing a distinct facet of his creative vision, from meditative textures and euphoric layers to raw, heartfelt expression.
Known for his signature blend of melodic house, David has already amassed over 750,000+ streams, multiple top 100 chart positions, and growing global recognition. A rising force across the Middle East and Europe, David’s cinematic and spiritual productions continue to garner support from leading DJs while also resonating with audiences on dancefloors and streaming platforms worldwide.
The EP opens with ‘Alaya’, featuring vocals over organic percussion and ambient textures that create a meditative, atmospheric tone. The second track, ‘Spectrum’, moves through varying rhythms and melodies, alternating between reflective and energetic parts. The EP concludes with ‘Alone’, which combines melodies and heartfelt lyrics with a guitar riff, balancing vulnerability with power, and is equally suited for late-night reflection or peak-time energy.
Reflecting on his success to date, including ‘Fall’, which has accrued 300,000+ streams and featured on Spotify’s Afro House playlists; ‘The Journey of Love EP’, which reached #2 on the iTunes Dance Albums chart in Switzerland; and releases on CamelPhat’s When The Stars Align as well as his own Omkara Records, David Ramano’s past few years have paved the way for his latest work.
Culminating in the ‘Alaya EP’, David Ramano delivers a bold, expressive statement that embodies the OVAVA ethos: music that moves both the body and the soul. OVAVA provides a fitting home for David. Since its inception, the UK and Ibiza-based imprint, headed by Ollie Mundy, has built a solid reputation for standout releases and authentic talent. Celebrating a roster of emerging and established artists, OVAVA has carved out a distinct identity within the electronic music landscape, drawing inspiration from Burning Man and Ollie’s extensive travels worldwide.
Known for quality, club-focused releases, the label has earned consistent support from industry heavyweights including Black Coffee, Damian Lazarus, Themba, Claptone, Marco Carola, Paco Osuna, Joris Voorn, Paul van Dyk, Ruben Mandolini, Steve Lawler, Shiba San, TSHA, and more. The new EP is already receiving early support from Ilario Alicante, Deer Jade, Underspreche, XiJaro & Pitch, Leandro Silva, Stella Polaris, David Montoya, Ibiza Live Radio, and Rio Dela Duna, just to name a few.
OVAVA’s highlights include a No.1 on Beatport’s Afro House chart, multiple Traxsource Top 10 positions, and Ollie’s Burning Man-inspired mixes surpassing 5.2 million views. Rooted in emotion, Ollie’s journey as curator and artist shapes the label’s immersive output, designed to inspire introspection, connection, and euphoria. Extending this ethos, OVAVA Music Radio streams 24/7 with seamless, ad-free mixes that showcase the depth and diversity of the roster.
In less than a year, OVAVA has amassed nearly 200,000 streams with a playlist reach of 2.4 million, recently featuring at Café del Mar and Back to Mine at Pikes Ibiza. Blending melodic, Afro, and progressive house, OVAVA champions a sound rooted in authenticity, soul, and storytelling. OVAVA is shaping a new era of emotionally driven electronic music that resonates worldwide, from beachside sets to festival stages and intimate dancefloors alike, defining a fresh direction in the genre.

The latest digital release brought forward by the Romanian label UNS Records features the imprint's head chefs Unisson alongside Andu Simion on a back-to-back sonic journey titled "Acid Poles EP". With eight tracks connected by vibrant TB-303 basslines, the material brings the three producers together for an experimental concept focused on minimal techno, microhouse and tech house with a pinch of acid. The mastering is signed by Vlad Caia at Composure Audio Works and the artwork by Skindots & Andu.
Widely known for their continuous and inspiring work in the electronic music scene, Alex, Nicolae and Andu deliver yet another amazing experience through this distinct collaboration, as all tracks have a common sound while each is different in its own way, making the EP work as a whole session, as well as a collection of stand-alone tools.
"We talked with Andu about the project, and we really liked the idea of a back-to-back series, where each of us contributes our own track, just like in a DJ session. It's a bit different from a classic collaboration where producers work on the same tracks, and that's exactly what we felt would create a positive challenge. In the end, we managed to put together a pack of eight tracks that share a common element: TB-303 basslines, the iconic sound that has travelled the world since the 1980s." - Unisson
Our featured premiere for today, Unisson's "Triphouse", offers an uplifting groove defined by tight drums, weaving synth bursts, trippy effects and phased vocal cuts that add extra tension. Their other three tracks - "This Connect", "Rhythm Language" and "Consciousness Expander"- are equally engaging, merging elements from house, acid and breaks into intense soundscapes that provide dynamism and introspection at the same time.
Complementing Unisson, Andu Simion's tracks "Symmetric V", "Spectrum Delay", "GPS Error" and "Acid Ballance" flow with a subtle contrast, as the rhythms are more stripped-down while the background layers receive dub and electro influences, making the EP a must-have collectable for electronic music enthusiasts and selectors alike.

Having graced our summer 2025 playlists with his lush Latin House grooves, Sweden’s Rasmus Faber delivers the perfect groove at Farplane Records to close out the season with a hot new spin on his gorgeous 2023 Majestic Casual release, ‘How Do You Do It’, for Farplane.
