RMNS podcast 019 - Mihai Pol

Excited to share my first live modular set debut which took place at Hyp3rc3ll's first event in downtown Vancouver! 

Was such an incredible experience from building the entire set from scratch, to seeing the reaction of the crowd as I played through an hour of all original house, minimal and techno compositions. Excited for my next live event to make the performance and sound even bigger and better!

Check out the full length video of this set: https://youtu.be/g93Vq_M4hyw

Focus

Paul Franc is a producer, live performer, and DJ shaping a unique lane in the world of minimal music—blending the hypnotic frameworks of Deep Tech and Rominimal with his own flavor of psychedelic minimal house. His intricate sound design and immersive live sets push beyond genre norms, offering audiences a sensory experience that’s as cerebral as it is physical.

Blending warped psychedelic synths with glitchy percussion, obscure textures, and melancholic undertones, Paul’s sound design twists and evolves with purpose. His live sets are known for their precision and tension—layering tightly programmed grooves and hallucinatory elements into a driving, otherworldly flow that captivates both dancers and heads alike.

Based in Vancouver, Paul has performed at some of the city’s most notable underground venues, including Village Studios, Celebrities, Industrial 236, Gorg-O-Mish, and Soma. He has shared stages with respected international artists such as Hannes Bieger, YokoO, Gene Farris, Jasper Tygner, and Robbie Akbal. 

Now entering a new chapter, he leads his imprint Let’s Be Franc—a label focused on delivering forward-thinking minimal music and sonic storytelling. Its debut release, “Drift Logic,” charted on Beatport’s Deep Tech / Minimal Top 100, further cementing his place as a rising force in the underground electronic scene.
