Romania-born selector and producer, Claudiu Sfetan, has seen his first interactions with arranged sounds at an early age of 12, add to that the detail of being surrounded by musicians throughout his journey. Attempts of guitar followed by piano lessons, the young enthusiast gets familiarized with some music production software through his piano teacher’s son, a factor that defines him to start an electronic music experiment. It was a matter of time until he gets his first residency at a local venue in 2006, sharing the controls with enlightened music heads of the era and shaping his vision, as well as setting the his course. The lack of primary material at the time, made him put double the effort into complimenting his vision. His early endeavours worked towards his versatility in the booth - the only way to get playtime in that specific period of time. 
The year 2014 sees him moving to London, where building an electronic music entourage was a natural occurrence. By 2015 Sfetan is a name known amongst the circles and steadily paves his path under the spotlight. 
His production and selection outline the raw and dynamic sentiment. Overlapping sound patterns within the less is more concept, Sfetan applies the KonMari method to his music; to only deliver the meaningful parts of the process. All the sides of his persona are working towards a kaleidoscopic evolution of what is there to be exteriorised by him on both productional and selectional levels. Words won’t make enough justice for what is there to be heard from Claudiu.

Born and raised in the beautiful Bucharest, he comes to the dj booth with an individual way of phrasing the sounds of minimal, house and techno. 

Mantras are not small things, mantras have power. They are the mind vibration in relationship to the Cosmos. The science of mantra is based on the knowledge that sound is a form of energy having structure, power, and a definite predictable effect on the chakras and the human psyche.

the unknown grainy alias empowers the creator to have complete freedom, giving them the ability to truly journey into the deepest corners of minimal music. grainy signifies a unique and distinct sound that overrides the sole importance of the artist. 

the dark adventure, hypnotic blends, continuous loops and grooves lead to the DJ and the music becoming one.

this is the grainy alias.
