Mihai Popoviciu, one of the most esteemed names in the deep house and minimal scene, is set to unveil his anticipated new album, ‘Puzzle Box’, on Bondage Music. As one of the label’s core artists, Popoviciu returns for his second full-length album release on the imprint following his successful 2016 album, ‘Home’ - available on vinyl from 15th November 2024.
 
With a career spanning over a decade and with releases on numerous influential labels such as 8Bit to Berg Audio, Popoviciu has firmly established himself as a go-to within the minimal-leaning realms of house music. Known for intricate soundscapes and deep, hypnotic grooves, his work continues to captivate audiences globally. On ‘Puzzle Box’, he delves deeper into his signature stripped-back yet soulful aesthetic, offering a diverse collection of tracks that traverse through various sonic textures.
 
“With Puzzle Box, each track unlocks something deeper with every listen” - Mihai Popoviciu.
 
Consisting of thirteen tracks in total, ‘Puzzle Box’ showcases the Romanian’s sound to its fullest. On the vinyl edition, fans are treated to standout tracks like ‘Batiscaf’, ‘Storm Rider’, and ‘Far Gone’ — vinyl-only gems that capture Popoviciu’s talent for layering subtle, dubby tones with groovy rhythms. The opening track, ‘They All Say’, sets the mood with smooth, atmospheric beats with a skippy groove, followed by the dynamic “Video” and the driving, pulsating energy of “Frankfurt.”
 
Popoviciu’s skill in crafting versatile productions is showcased throughout the album, with each track offering something unique.
From the sleek, melodic strains of ‘Puzzle Box’ to the hypnotic, rolling basslines of ‘Kinetic’, this LP is a journey into his meticulously constructed sound. The digital version also features the bonus track ‘Body Count 2’, offering a final, rhythmic flourish to round off the release.
‘Puzzle Box’ further cements Mihai Popoviciu’s role as a mainstay on Bondage Music, a label which continues to champion forward-thinking, minimal-leaning house music. With this latest LP, Popoviciu once again proves why he remains a favourite, building on his storied career with another masterclass in refined, deep electronic music.

Body Count 2

Mihai Popoviciu - Body Count 2 (digital bonus)

Label regular, Alexander Matchak, returns with a classy three-tracker featuring remix support from Pornbugs and Leeni and Danilo Kupfernagel. The Moscow-based artist broke onto the scene in 2018 and has been a label favourite since 2021. Signed to a number of cool underground labels including DP-6 and Blessed, he also runs EXPmental Records. Opening with the swing of Desert Race. Funky hats and a wonderous bass get the party started in fine form. Intricate sonics and nuanced keys keep the track light and groovy for the early floors. House Blazer follows suit with a tougher vibe, rubbery bass and delicate keys. On remix duties, label heads, Pornbugs, keep the flovour of the original whilst injecting their infectious energy with some extra musical hooks. The third original takes a deeper turn. Snappy hats and a light percussive framework are married with a deep, growling bass and ebbing sonics. Eminently fresh and vibrant, Dubai Trip is a classy journey into modern deep house. On the remix, 3000Grad members, Leeni and Danilo Kupfernagel, turn out a dirty, vibey late night groovathon.

Track: UNDERFOOT (DAVE PAD REMIX)
Release: MODERN LOVE
Cat.No: BOND-DIGI032

We are excited to welcome back label regular Dilby with a fresh new two track EP this summer. The New Zealand born, Berlin based artist has been on the rise of late with a consistent stream of chart topping releases and support from the biggest names in the scene. The title track Modern Love is a deep brooding club cut which features the distinctive vocal stylings of Aquarius Heaven atop a tribal edged groove. Label heads Pornbugs turn in a stellar remix of Modern Love in their signature warm and atmospheric style of deep house. Underfoot, Dilby's second original, is a dubby, grooving minimal track that is subtly nuanced and full of warmth and syncopation. Moscow artist Dave Pad is up on remix duty where he lightens the mood with his upbeat deep house reinterpretation.
