Recently there seems to have been an easterly wind blowing through the electronic music scene: More and more artists, particularly from Romania, have staked an impressive claim on the dance floors of Europe’s best clubs and on the ears of it’s House music audience. Among the luminaries of the trend is Mihai Popoviciu, one of the most innovative producers in Eastern Europe. Mihai has already gained plenty of experience as a producer and DJ - he was only 14 years old when he discovered the electronic underground of his
homeland. “It was like a virus to me, it infected me immediately, “ he recalls. In 2001 he finally began with his own music production, a pursuit which is closely related to his work as a DJ - the one could not exist without the other - two sides of a creative symbiosis. In his first studio album “The Unexpected Truth“, to be released on Berlin’s Highgrade Records, Mihai Popoviciu shows two distinct sides of his musical mind. Accross the ten tracks we find, on the one hand, his private and reserved expressions, and on the other a powerful and surging musical attitude. The record is characterised by it’s unconcerned and easy going atmosphere, which transforms rapidly into driving percussion and minimal ambience. It is at once varied, original and catchy. Mihai himself considers “The Unexpected Truth” to be the essence of his artistic work: “A mirror of everything I do as a producer and DJ”. With this debut long player, he will appeal to both the party animal and the sofa connoisseur. As Mihai explains, “The club tracks get directly into the groove, while the quieter moments should provoke a ‘go with the flow’ feeling”. Regardless of whether you’re wriggling with the groove or chilling out at home, this debut album from Mihai Popoviciu will be making the rounds in your mind: Quite literally, since the accompanying tour will be coming to your neighborhood very soon.
