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."

Key Producciones presenta Key Mixes! Les presentamos sets exclusivos de DJs nacionales e internacionales que han pasado alguna vez por nuestra cabina 🎧❤
⠀⠀
La fiesta la hacemos desde nuestros hogares hasta que volvamos a encontrarnos 🤜🏼🤛🏼⠀
⠀
Tenemos el agrado de presentar a un DJ y productor rumano, considerado uno de los productores de música electrónica más innovadores de Europa del Este. Comenzó a producir música en 2001 influenciado por el techno y el house. Luego de experimentar y encontrar un sonido único y característico, tuvo su primer lanzamiento en 2005. Su reputación ha crecido desde entonces. Tras una actividad discográfica intensa en los sellos más respetados de la escena, fundó en 2012 Cyclic Records, un sello muy exitoso actualmente en Europa, que es sinónimo de groove 🔥🔥

Se distingue por la calidad y fineza de sus mezclas, sus sets tienen un toque personal distintivo, con ritmos fascinantes y emociones muy cálidas. Ha recorrido los clubes y festivales más importantes de Europa y también ha expandido su música por Latinoamérica, teniendo varias presentaciones en la región. Tuvimos el placer de tenerlo en nuestras cabinas en el Radisson en 2018 y en Key Conference 2019.... y ya estamos pensando en la próxima
