Alice Burcovich is an Italian DJ, producer, and artist whose sound is deeply rooted in the club culture that shaped her upbringing near Bologna and the iconic Riviera. Early exposure to Italy’s finest underground scenes instilled in her a sharp sense for rhythm, groove, and energy—qualities that now define her sets and productions.
Her journey took a pivotal turn in Australia, where she quickly made her mark as a resident at one of Sydney’s busiest nights. From there, Alice became a regular across the country’s top parties, including S.A.S.H, The Breakfast Club, and Eat The Beat, earning a reputation for playing groovy, energetic sets that keep the dancefloor moving.

Now based in Europe, Alice is gaining recognition for her distinct productions, with releases on respected labels and a recent remix on Per Hammar’s Dirty Hands, personally requested by the label head himself. With a forward-thinking approach and a natural connection to the dancefloor, Alice continues to evolve as one of the most exciting new names to watch.

BIO: 
	
	Every artist has a signature. Mihai Popoviciu is no exception. For over a decade the amiable Romanian producer and DJ has built a body of work characterised by deep grooves, crisp precision, and irresistible energy.
	Mihai's singular vision was born in his home town Sibiu (still his home base) which, at the time, lay on the fringes of Europe's thriving dance scene. It was the early '90s. Electronic music was flooding London, Ibiza, Berlin but only a trickle reached his ears. "We would tape German TV shows onto cassette and listen over and over," he recalls.
	With no clubs, record shops or dance culture to speak of Mihai's dream of being an electronic artist seemed remote. He studied architecture and briefly worked in the field, but it was house and techno, not house-building, that was his true calling . "I couldn't DJ, because there were no clubs," he says with a chuckle. But he could buy software, so he started making records. Lots of records. Sometimes one per day, for months on end. The work of the determined young artist began to catch people's ears. His first track was signed to International Deejay Gigolo in 2005, and dozens of releases followed on imprints including Bondage, Highgrade, Poker Flat, Bedrock, Dessous and also his own label Cyclic, established in 2012.
	This calm determination became Mihai's trademark as his career blossomed from production to DJing. After honing is skills in the studio he learned to DJ (on borrowed decks) and began drawing attention in Romania and across Europe. Playing international gigs was a big move for someone who grew up only seeing clubs on TV but Mihai stepped up with professional aplomb. His CV now includes the best clubs in Europe and around the world, from Berghain and Watergate in Berlin; to London's Fabric and The Egg; to D-Edge, São Paulo; DC-10, Ibiza; and more.
	Mihai's ambition with every track and every DJ set, is to transmit the joy and energy that fuels his dream. "It feels great to see people dancing, smiling, having a good time. No matter what I do, that's the main thing." 
	He is equally at home in underground clubs or on festival stages. The one thing that stays the same is his artistry and irresistible delight in music. "Mihai was on his sound from the beginning," says friend and booking agent Benny Grauer. "It has a unique quality. Any time you hear it you know, "That's Mihai". He's done it for years, and it is perfect."

Following his own way –The one that his personal instinct and artistic curiosity dictates, foreign to fashions, destroying conveniences that throttle creation, and overcoming the anomalous and dictatorial from the esthetic tags – it is something natural and a must for a DJ and producer of the needed emergency of Pizzicatto.
Nowadays, this Young referent from Levante, through his sets and productions, he porposes a groovie trip, futuristic and clubby through his own visión of techno and house underground. And all of it without missing his taste of rithms full of percussion, deep and micro.house which is something inherent to his contundent vs. Sophisticated sound.
Creativity, freedom, independency and courage… That is Pizzicatto.
And the truth is that it is difficult to understand what has happened in the last 10 years in the clubbing scene in Levante – and particularly in Castellón – without the presence of Fernando Pizarro aka Pizzicatto.
This regenerator of the electronic panorama in his área, often spins in important and exigent national clubs, but he is, most of all, in Danza and Beat – where he has been spining as a dj resident  the last 5 years – where he has consolidated a privileged position as a DJ. He has also spinned in clubs in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Zaragoza, Granada… As well as in France and the UK.
Moreover, he is one of the co-founders and directors of the BEF (Benicàssim Electronic Festival) and, as a producer and discografy manager, he has just launched his first reference, in which he moves easily, between dub-techno and minimalist deep house, that exhales an elegant mediterranean peace in this new label Les Palmes Discs – only available in vinyl – that, indeed comes signed by himself and with a remix from Howl Ensemble, which means a very important qualitative and quantitative jump, as a turning point, in his intense musical career.
Be aware everybody, there is no day – or night – in which this artista does not learn or grow.
His way is only hims.
