G Prajekt is an alias of House music pioneer Radu Sapunarescu, a Dj/Producer with firm roots in the golden era of Romania's DJ scene. 
Radu grew up listening to music since 1974, discovering parent’s reel tapes recorder with jazz, blues, gospel from the 60’s-70’s like, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Diana Ross to name a few, and soon he began making his own record selections. He was drawn towards Soul music, Jazz, Funk, Disco, Gospel, R’n’B and later in the 80’s also to Breakdance, street music and early house. 
In 1990 he started as a DJ on the radio, night long sessions at Fun Radio, then in 1991 on Radio Nova and he started to have first mixes with “early House” like Frankie Knuckels, D-Train, RJS Arrivals, Colonel Abrams, Adeva; The first club residency came in 1992.
In 1995 he sold his car to make a small home studio with 2 turntables (Technics SL1210MK2s) and a Numark mixer and he started to exercise with different scratch techniques and other tricks specific DJ international competitions, then following a series of live events with PRO TV, all summer at the beach in Costinesti '96, and other events in '97 live on tour in the country...
Radu has been an integral part of the Romanian House music scene and has remained so for over 30 years. Whether it be as a DJ, Producer or as a Broadcaster on Fun Radio or Nova, he has surfed the waves of musical trends but always returned to his one true love: Funk, Boogie, Deep Soulful Disco infused House.
Inspired by numerous artists like Joey Negro, Dr. Packer, LNTG, to name a few, his current output centers mainly around a distinct selection of rare Disco/Funk 70's-80’s tracks. His uncanny knack for uncovering forgotten and even ignored pearls is a true trademark today, where his sense for detail and savory style of execution combines to the trades of a true craftsman. 
He is releasing music on his own terms, fueled by his own ambition and free from the chains of other people’s expectations.
The sound is a brilliant mix between fine techniques, deep respect of the originals and real personality. And with their DJ friendly style, these forgotten treasures should quickly find a new life close to modern productions.


"The earth has music for those who listen."
“Music is the tool to express life - and all that makes a difference.”
Herbie Hancock

Globe trotter, photographer, DJ, dancer, lover of life and all things wild

Born and raised in Sinaia, a small famous Romanian mountain town, believes that the next quote is very representative for him as well as for every music lover „Without music, life would be a mistake” (Friedrich Nietzsche)

The very first time I felt true fervor for music was in 1996 when I started to collect and listen as much music as I could. I found out later that it was that moment when I have chosen this way, when I have decided to devote my life to the music. So the very next move was to start playing music as a DJ, step by step, in several clubs.

In 1997, I began to collaborate with Radio 21and another level came to light with a brand new perspective on my life. As a fresh member of the Radio 21 team, at first I was a DJ and then a local station manager. Next, I strengthened my professional background working with Radio Brasov, Mix FM and Radio 21 Bucharest.

My first approach with quality house music was when I played as a resident DJ in OFFICE Club Predeal & Bucharest, a pioneer in Romanian clubbing industry. During my residency in OFFICE Club I had the chance to experience the true vibes of house music for which I developed a great taste and passion. It was there I got to be known as “DJ SMILEY” because everybody was absolutely astonished by me being so serious while mixing and so they couldn’t help calling me “smiley”.

In 2005, I breathed the air of morning parties in a legendary after-hours club called SUGAR where I had the opportunity to play beside most of the top Romanian DJ's and since then I became addicted to after-hours parties.

After that, I had several residencies to other after-hours clubs like Posh, Gossip, Metropolis, Barocco and Shade Club. Between spinning the records there, I had gigs in all major cities from the mountains to the sea, and everywhere there are appropriate conditions for a good performance.

Meanwhile, I am the fashion show music producer and after parties DJ for Fashion TV Romania.

In my sessions I like to include and explore top quality house music in order to gather the people on the dance floor and make them feel united. My mixing approaches are a combination between passion, human empathy and fine taste and gather all afro house, organic house, afro tech, melodic house techno, old school house.

After two long years of absence from the underground music scene, at the same time with the beginning of 2011, I am ready to come up with new music projects like a radio show, a new residency, promoting parties and events and the last but not least I am thinking about touching seriously the side of producing and try my luck to a record label.

Not willing to bore you with more details, I will let you discover the new me  and looking hopefully to keep following my vibes because the future has never been so close!

Music on!
Reality is never perfect. Perfection is not real.
