As the year draws to a close, Expmental Records proudly presents the final installment of Mental Picks for 2024. Volume 46 showcases three meticulously curated tracks to end the year on a high note.

Kicking off the release is a groovy Deep Tech track by our very own Frink, designed to ignite the dancefloor and captivate the followers of this talented Spanish artist. Following this, Guido Nemola makes a triumphant return to Expmental family, this time to the main label, with a minimalistic journey that highlights the Italian maestro's exceptional skills in crafting immersive soundscapes.

Rounding out the collection is the inaugural collaboration between label boss Eddy Romero and Miami-based artist Richard Rozen. This track exemplifies the harmonious fusion of diverse influences, illustrating how two distinct musical worlds can blend seamlessly together.

With this release, we conclude our Mental Picks series for the year, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating what's to come in 2025!

The rhythmic ripples of melody in Modern Love Affair waft organically across the warm bubbling of the bassline, just like an early morning mist rising from the perfectly smooth surface of a lake: Both are the same thing, just in a different state. In this track, Sascha Dive & Pornbugs boil down the emotive properties of harmony and the hypnotic potential of repetitive rhythms to an inebriating essence. The bouncy Modern Love Affair remix by Mihai Popoviciu moves through the elegant, all-encompassing soundscape of the original with flowing motions, creating equally powerful momentum. The heavyweight, rolling vibe of Lumina is marbled with an intricate network of harmonies and echoes that seems to be alive inside the lively groove, frequently emitting bright, pulsing flashes of blissful ecstasy.

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."

English Version-👇🏼​- 

RhythmXp ist kein DJ-Projekt. Es ist ein Zustand.
Ein auditiver Zwischenraum zwischen dem, was war, und dem, was sich nicht greifen lässt.
Meine Mixe sind keine Produktionen – sie sind Spuren.
Von Verlust, von Struktur, von Erinnerung.
Ich arbeite mit Resonanz, nicht mit Funktion.
Wer zuhört, bleibt. Nicht aus Neugier, sondern weil etwas ruft.

----------------------------------

RhythmXp is not a DJ project. It is a condition.
An auditory in-between space –
between what has passed
and what refuses to be grasped.

My mixes are not productions –
they are traces.
Of loss, of structure, of memory.
I work with resonance, not with function.

Those who keep listening
do not stay out of curiosity –
they stay because something calls.
