We have the pleasure to introduce the eighteen artist of our mix series, the talented artist @Fedo

Fedo is an electronic musician with a deep sense of rhythm and a love for the raw energy of live music. His work blends minimalism, the deep atmosphere of deep house, and the freedom of live improvisation.

Each track by Fedo is not just a composition but a meditation, where space is built through long textures, warm sub-basses, and a naturally flowing groove.

Fedo creates music in Ableton Live, favoring live jams over traditional studio work. His sets are built around a flexible template that allows a perfect balance between spontaneity and structured arrangement.

Fedo’s music invites listeners to dive in, to dance, and to take an inner journey. His main goal is to create tracks that spark real emotion and make people move with their hearts.

“I write a track and release it into the Universe,” says Fedo about his creative process

primărie, the alias of dan primaru, is a sonic explorer deeply rooted in the romanian underground scene. he has carved out a distinctive niche with his deep microhouse and minimal grooves, creating transformative soundscapes. known for his kaleidoscopic blend of psychedelic influences and future-fractal sounds, primărie is a master of balancing the tension between the power of the groove and the relief brought by high-frequency vibrations. his music is crafted not just for the dance floor - it is designed to elevate consciousness, guiding listeners on a spiritual journey of self-exploration and connection.

primărie’s musical journey began in 2007, driven by a passion for djing and a vision to create something truly meaningful. he spent his early years experimenting with sound within the vibrant bucharest scene. in 2010, he founded tzinah records, a label that has become a beacon for the romanian minimal and microhouse movement. tzinah records blends underground beats with cosmic sounds, fostering a new generation of artists and serving as a platform for sonic innovation and spiritual elevation.

after spending time in berlin, where he absorbed the city's deep-rooted electronic music culture, primărie returned to romania, where he found his true playground. from infamous after-parties to intimate performances in packed clubs, primărie has become a key figure in every major romanian city. his sets go beyond performances; they are immersive experiences, blending deep grooves with uplifting energy to create a shared journey on the underground dance floors. through his music, he invites people to connect, smile, and transcend the ordinary.
