MINIMALISM 016: ix3m

This special edition of the Fratii.ro Podcast was born in the quiet hills of Ojai, California — a place where creativity flowed effortlessly between two minds connected by music. What began with a message of appreciation turned into a strong friendship and artistic synergy.

LOS, a dedicated producer/Dj currently residing in California’s Ojai region, a place he describes as a vortex, and Beckhäuser; founder of fratii.ro Records, a man who needs no introduction—first connected through a mutual desire and appreciation of the mystery and vast world within minimal sound. Their connection bloomed into a mentorship and friendship that both have found to be infinite. Finally meeting in May of 2025,  they dove head first into a week long immersion in studio sessions—producing hypnotic grooves and dark-tinged rhythms.

This set is a full journey of our own productions and collaborations — deep, rolling, and rhythmically charged. A true reflection of friendship turned into sound.

That intimate feel in a private yet friendly environment, filled with dark repetitive patterns from the minimal side of house music. It’s what you should expect at Gibo Festival, a private Telega gathering somewhere in the Carpathians, that has reached its 6th inception in 2024. Pitchu and Fein took over the decks with a collection of unreleased productions as well as few oldies but goldies from the old school romanian minimal.

Etrusc draws on a wealth of experience of everything music has to offer. He started out as a classical violin pupil in his early childhood, went on as a teen to play the electric guitar in a gritty heavy metal band and then he touched down in the Bucharest electronic scene. Having discovered the real intricacies of Romanian minimal, he dabbled into production and dj-ing under the major influence of the dark and psychedelic artists like Dubtil, Cezar and Rhadoo. He found his artistic home amongst Telega Recordings, of which he has been a member since 2019. This background converges into his sets and productions, which he brought to the underground scene of Bucharest under the Telega banner.
