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."

Geboren in Berlin und groß geworden auf den vibrierenden Clubfloors der hiesigen Musikszene habe ich beim Tanzen über die Jahre meinen eigenen musikalischen Kompass gefunden. Als Lilly K. stehe ich hinter den Decks, während ich unter meinem Producing-Alias Geschmaidig eigene Tracks zwischen Trip Hop, Hip Hop, Breaks, House und Techno entstehen lasse- immer der Nase nach. In meinen Sets möchte ich mich zum Ausdruck bringen und einen Bogen spannen. Zwischen mir und der Welt und den Stimmungen in der Musik - Stets auf der Suche nach dem Punkt, an dem Körper und Musik eins werden und Tanzfläche und DJ zur Gemeinschaft fusionieren. Begonnen mit Downtempo, über meine große Liebe und mein always ultra Bass House, Deep House, Tech House entdecke ich neuerdings auch Psy Techno und tranceige Sphären. In meiner 5-jährigen Zeit in Chemnitz habe ich neben der Entwicklung eines Stils auch den Wechsel von der Tanzfläche zur Veranstalterin vollzogen. Mit den Kollektiven Auf’n Punkt und Bambuli schaffe ich nun hin und wieder subkulturelle Räume, in denen Musik Geschichten erzählt, Menschen verbindet und der Bass im besten Fall die Glieder lockert.
