New York artist Jean Pierre is launching a new label. Having already featured on a long list of platforms previously, he knows a thing or two about producing tracks. The passion for music is no longer focused solely on his own endeavours, with Pakate Records set to serve as an outlet for friends and artists alike. FLETCH steps up for the first release, with both Franco Cinelli and Pierre himself on remix duties.

Such support for the rising UK talent must feel pretty good. The originals on Actin’ Up EP are devoted to a concoction of minimal grooves and vocal song. Two quite different cuts, one sexy, one gritty, riding the border between the underground and the less so. FLETCH is pushing beats here that would set UK dance floors alight.

Pedro Barros - Hypnotic Effect (Griffin Hanekamp Remix)

InfraTouch-Graviton [Mutant Rebels]

Awtar – Strings that speak the language of the soul...

"Awtar" means strings in Arabic — a word that echoes the expressive power of instruments like the violin, where every vibration carries emotion, memory, and movement.

This track blends Oriental and Arabic influences with modern soundscapes, guided by the violin’s soulful voice. It’s a journey across cultures and feelings, where each string tells a story and every note resonates with passion.

Let the violin lead you.
Let the strings sing.
This is Awtar — raw, emotional, timeless.

Including @khaikhan and @idingorjimusic Remixes.

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."
