Buddy Cage Interview

It's Saturday afternoon during our second addition of Chi Wow Wah Town, and after years of manifesting and dreaming of this day,  Mihai Popoviciu surely did please us with his debut Australian performance.    
Mihai upheld his reputation as being one of the most respected DJ's and producers in the business and also warmed us with his kind nature.
Strap you're selves in yappers, this dawg is the business! 
yap, yap! Xxx


Mihai Popoviciu - Chi Wow Wah Town 2015

Canadian multi-instrumentalist and “studio rat” Daniel Lanois occupies a place in popular music like no other. He sat at the summit of the music industry in the dizzy heights of the 1980s, producing and mixing for acts like U2 and Peter Gabriel, and has the wealth to show for it: an old Buddhist temple in Toronto, a mansion in L.A. where he “just hangs out”, and a place in Jamaica which is “where I hang my hat”, a '72 Cadillac that “you can put about twelve people in,” and a collection of studio gear that many would kill for.

Mark Farina - Deep House Amsterdam Pacha Festival Podcast #001

London clubnight BleeD's pedigree could scarcely be stronger: recent guests have included DJ Richard, Laurel Halo, Ben UFO b2b Morphosis, a full evening co-host with Plex, and many more besides. With a name that doubles up as a clearly established stamp of quality, the shift into actively putting out records, as well as facilitating those that do, makes perfect sense. And who better to inaugurate the freshly-minted label than Francophilic brains behind the operation Volte-Face?

 "Until The Light Takes Us" is driving techno par excellence. As the track sets about instigating nosebleeds from the off, a greyscale textural wash slowly descends and envelops like a shroud, before being swiftly cast off as the final third barrels down to its grisly conclusion – i.e., another four dominating cuts on a seriously impressive first release. Truly all killer, no filler.

 Pre-orders for the Charlatan EP are being taken over here. You know what to do.
