02. Sturge - Wanted To Fly (Jim Rider Remix)
03. Sturge - Wanted To Fly (Joe Miller Remix)

Release Info:
Sturge brings you his latest masterpiece, Wanted To Fly, fresh from his Ibiza studio. Released by Musique de Lune on 3rd October, Wanted To Fly features two very special remixes by acclaimed producers Jim Rider and Joe Miller.

DJ, live artist, and producer Sturge, originally from Belfast, is now based in Ibiza after spending over a decade in London. He has been DJing and promoting electronic music parties across Europe and beyond for many years, from Belfast to Burning Man, and London to Berlin. As one of the curators for the Celtic Chaos stage at the Burn, he takes equal pride in his curation as much as in his DJ sets. 

Sturge’s first mainstream release was What Were The Skies Like When You Were Young, on Musique de Lune in summer 2024. This stunning 5-track EP, featuring the lead track and four remixes, went straight into the Beatport Top 10.

Press play on Wanted To Fly and you are instantly taken to a crisp, clear soundscape high in the sky. The bassline captures your imagination straight away, like a warm valve glowing against the metronomic kick beat. The scale here is cinematic, the space between the notes as important as the notes themselves. From here, Sturge builds the intensity, huge synth raptors cry overhead as you climb into a stratosphere where electric and organic sounds blur into one, layers of subtle synth adding to the already palpable atmosphere. And then the first lyric. “I just wanted to fly.’ Just beautiful stuff.
 
The remix from Jim Rider (All Day I Dream, Get Physical…) is sensational. Liquid agogos adding the perfect percussion and vocal fx to take you from up into the clouds to a dark, smoke machine filled dancefloor. It stays true to Sturge’s original mix, adding without subtracting. The synth riff is something quite special on its own.
 
Joe Miller (Anjunadeep, All Day I Dream…) takes you on a flight with some beautiful and unexpected detours, off-beat drum patterns and trippy, strobe fuelled arpeggiation blisses you out. Glitchy break beats and waves of electronic euphoria leave you smiling in the chill-out area. If Wanted To Fly was the main theme from a movie, these three thoughtful and skilled maestros show how one perfect piece of inspiration can evoke multiple emotions.

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."
