Cakeman Records is a new record label created and curated by Dragos Ilici. The first release comes from romanian producer Teluric. "În Padurea Fermecata" means "in the magical forest" in romanian. Its name provides the track originality, and it piques curiosity. It is a trippy yet solid techno track, rich in atmospheres and pads, warm and intense in the same time.
"Magnetic Fields" is a stripped down dub techno track. Rolling hihats, a punchy kick drum that moves your body, and a classic dub techno stab combine in a simple yet groovy and effective track.

Catren hits the shelves with its second release, a 3-tracker slow cooked by Emi Nescu.We jump on this house & techno bandwagon with Maimultmodelat, a 12 minute piece stripped down to its hihat backbone, with the focus points centered here & there on the wobbly bassline and the sharp cut kicks. As for the Side B, a more textured journey awaits us: Soustra, encapsulating its warmth deep into the fading melodic strips and the fast paced Walkabout, a breaks sequence that could easily hyopnotize the crowd with its electro reminiscences hidden under the percussions layer.Catren 002 exposes us to 3 apparently different tracks yet with one strong thing in common: Emi Nescu's groove led energy

Ever impressing Romanian duo NTFO return to their Sintope imprint to deliver four weighty, original productions set for release on the labels vinyl series this July.

After bursting onto the scene in 2010 with the release of their first vinyl LP, NTFO have rapidly established themselves as one of Romania's top duo's amongst the nations ever expanding depth of top electronic talent. With their catalogue boasting releases on Diynamic, 20/20 Vision Editions, Gruuv, Objectivity and Bondage the pairing have caught the eyes and gained the support of key industry heavyweights and look set to continue the trend with their latest Sintope release.

'Fuel' opens the EP with an impressive arrangement of reverberating low end tones, crisp hats and snaking synth lines before 'Rush Over' switches up the aesthetic with it's offering of soft melodies, laid back grooves and shuffling drum licks. Third track 'Menduz Affair' then builds from a series of lo-fi glitches and pops, with punchy 4x4 kicks and an infectious low-slung groove line revealing a production aimed at the dancefloor. Last up, vinyl only offering 'Tot Cubas' rounds out the release in fine style, ebbing and flowing through 6 minutes of raw, intricate percussion patterns that are packed full of swing.

Early May will see Mihai Popoviciu return with his second long player in the shape of the
'Home' LP on Bondage music, comprising twelve original compositions from the Romanian artist.

Mihai Popoviciu : "The album's called "home" because it is inspired by my experiences from my home city Sibiu in Romania. Home is also the place where the album was produced, in my stripped down studio. It is where I always return to rest and chill after touring the world and the place where I feel most safe and comfortable. The artwork shows an image of the airport lane in Sibiu with surrounding hills and mountains in the back. It is a metaphoric "gate" to both leave and return home."

Romania's Mihai Popoviciu has carved out quite the career over the past decade releasing material through the likes of Highgrade, Hudd Traxx, Poker Flat and Fear of Flying. Here though we see him deliver his second full-length album and return to Bondage Music following a single on the label back in
2013.

Across the project Mihai delivers his signature dance floor focused, stripped back style with records like
'ACK', 'Sandstone Folder' and 'Tentacle Operated' showcasing the hypnotic and percussive style
Popoviciu executes so well. The project also drifts into smooth dubby realms via compositions like
'Cannon Poets' and 'Sunshine' while the likes of 'Triumph' and 'Music 999' radiantly display Mihai's proficient production abilities as he wanders into a brighter more house centric sound.

All in all Mihai Popoviciu turns in a coherent long player whilst exploring a broad range of styles, 'Focus and 'Havana' lay down a groove-led feel with subtle modulations and an unfaltering structure, while
'Data On Data', 'Paranoia' and 'Hypnosia' tip the focus over to dark and brooding territories with murky synth pads and chuggy low end tones. Once again Popoviciu has proven himself to be one of Romania's finest electronic music exports.

The pride of northern Sweden, Varg, is back with his new moniker, Grav. This mini album features 6 brand new songs of his unique electronic darkness & melancholy. Limited 300 copies, vinyl only.

The second Eliptic vinyl is coming from GIAS, fresh collaboration between Julian and Andrei Stoian, Bucharest based producers. This 3-track release perfectly combines various feelings and it takes you through happiness, melancholy and joy.
A-side Un Anume' focuses the action around the occasional spoken vocals helping things roll along, groovy and perfect for the main part of the night. On B-side Pedant' is a little darker and melancholic, but maintains the obsession with rough-but-groovy rhythms and mind-bothering bass vibrations.
Stop Cadru' is the track that puts you in action through each element, waterish sound, sustained by subtle hats and voices and a powerful bass line.
Cadre' is pressed in 200 copies, 180g, Vinyl Only.

Early supported by Rhadoo.

We are moving forward with new sounds this summer, and are happy to shed some light on our '4Plae Blanc' project. This series is geared towards slightly lighter vibes, and 001 will really set the tone for what is to come.

Hailing from the city of Bucharest, Nice ' N Trick have been earning their stripes over the past couple of years, which includes having works on labels such as Mulen, Heisenberg, Arupa, Baile Musik, Tzinah and many more. Their track 'Adiacent' delivers the vibrant sounds we love, brought together with tight percussion and warm soundscapes.

Another gem from Bucharest has contributed to 4PLVB001. Direkt has become a good friend of the label and we are extremely happy and proud to have him on board this release. 'Caries' is a bouncy and atmospheric track that delivers a solid analog sound - another factor we feel passionate about. No doubt this wont be the last you hear from Direkt in coming months...

Percival is also an analog head. This Detroit artist has bundles of musical knowledge and a love for many types of music. His track 'All Night' is a vocal orientated track with crisp hats and snares, and a pounding kick throughout - we love the mood this track set's at parties.

In the past few months, 4Plae founder ADMNTi and head honcho at Samani - F.eht, have formed a collective, FAT. Their remix of Percival's track sets a moodier vibe in comparison to the original, and wraps up the release nicely with evolving synths and techier sounds.

Vinyl only. 180g. Flug003 Various release from Roar, Adam Touch & Marino, Sumau and Oscar Saliba, techno notes for dancefloor and single listening.

As a full-analog studio crack he has produced 5 Albums and more than 50 Eps with his very own interpretation of techno. His music still has a 90's ghetto vibe, with as much energy as a punk band, but to make it clear to everyone, it's techno music to its essence. He has just finished new Remixes for Chicago Legends Robert Armani and DJ Deeon, as well as for Matthew Herbert.
