From the silk roads of yore to the modern industrial shipping lanes on the high seas, Shmoo's sound is universal sonic commerce for the contemporary ear lobe.

A driving force in the Chicago House scene for over two decades, Shmoo is known for his acclaimed You Are Here series with Derrick Carter at the legendary Spybar and his groundbreaking studio work alongside Gramaphone’s Garrett David. Having previously held residencies at Berlin Nightclub, Copa Lounge, East Room, Electric Hotel, Estate, and the infamous Tanto’s afterhours, Shmoo has left his mark on dance floors across the city.

His debut EP on the iconic Love Notes From Brooklyn label sold out worldwide and earned support from Honey Dijon on BBC Radio 1. During the global club shutdown, Shmoo helped to co-launch SHFFT, a cutting-edge multimedia project that kept the underground spirit alive. He was also invited as a featured guest on DJ Heather's CHI FI SHOW Twitch livestream.

Recognized as one of only six DJs honoured by the City of Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events for excellence in House music production, promotion, and performance, Shmoo stands amongst legends like DJ Lady D, Steve Miggedy Maestro, and Duane Powell. His contributions haven’t gone unnoticed: 5 Magazine has hailed him as one of “the best people working on the scene in Chicago” and a “hometown hero.”

Shmoo’s remix of “Mack Blagic” by Groovy Drew on Jason Merle’s 4E&A imprint has garnered the support of Carl Cox, while his release “Split Up The Get Go” on the same label climbed to #2 on Beatport’s After Hour Essentials: Deep House chart and #6 on their Best New Deep House chart.

His recent release, “Love With Someone”, a collaboration with Chicago’s ilana ariella on her Cheap Talk label, has received support from Alinka, Sam Divine, Francesca Lombardo, Benji Calendario, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, Satoshi Fumi, Paco Osuna, Severino Panzetta, Hans Thalau, and James Zabiela, among others. The Audio Soul Project (aka Mazi) remix was featured on Traxsource’s Essential Garage chart and peaked at #28 on their Top 100 Garage chart.

In addition to his work as an artist and producer, Shmoo manages A&R for Cheap Talk, helping to shape the label’s forward-thinking sound.

Shmoo’s latest release “UFO Racing At Dusk” is out now on 4E&A, featuring a remix from Jason Merle. The original mix was selected as #5 on Beatport’s Week 16 Weekend Picks House chart.

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."

Blasting onto the Chicago House scene in 2019, ilana quickly grew a fan base from a notoriously tough Chicago dance floor as well as approval from many of the architects of the sound. She prides herself on being a meticulous student of the foundation of House, her dedication bordering on what some may say is an obsession. Her pleasure comes from playing the cuts that have been seldom heard or long forgotten about. 

Her vinyl collection is one of the shining stars of her DJ repertoire and is thrilled anytime she can share them with a discerning audience. 

Although a dancer and a DJ first, she has also found time to get into the studio with several releases under her belt. Her label, Cheap Talk, launched in Spring of 2023, highlights the raw Chicago House sound, seeing support from 5Magazine and DJ Heather among notable others. Her label mate, Shmoo, is a frequent collaborator/co-conspirator.  Their talents combined have proven that this generation of Chicago artist is ready to take the reigns while simultaneously honoring those that came before.

Catch her wherever good vibes and good tunes are the requirement.

Hey everyone...I make music because I love music and how it makes me feel. It's as simple as that. The music I create has to have feeling, and more often than not what I call 'the feeling' — that feeling that you get when the hair on the back of your neck stands up and demands your attention.

I'm heavily influenced by design and patterns. Reggae riddims are like mathematical formulas for me — the ultimate patterns waiting to be discovered. This notion of patterns can translate to any music...if you can make something with 3 or 4 elements that can capture an audience yet still be relevant generations later, you've done something amazing. 

Not all of my tracks follow that formula but I try to let the sounds and elements speak for themselves in any track.
