5 days of love & alternative music

Visit : www.dourfestival.eu

Adrian Eftimie,was born on the 17th of May 1978 in Bucharest.

His love for music started early in his life! He was 14 years old when he felt the calling to music! From that moment on, mixing became his passion!

In 1992, with support from his best friend, a dream come true: the first radio show broadcasted by a pirate radio station – “illegal” (due to the restraint rules back in the days).

Just two years after he becomes Dj/Producer at Uniplus Radio,the first Independent Radio Station in Romania. 
Enthusiastic, passionate and with a huge potential he is soon invinted to perform as a resident in Le Baron Disco Club (Bucharest). Due to great success he decided to focus more on DJ’ing being more and more attracted to it. The next step is residency in Space Club, a well known and famous club back then.

At the age of 19, he already runs his own radio show in the top two radio stations with national coverage, Radio21 and Kiss FM. This was just another springboard to notoriety! 
His talent gets recognition when he was designated the best DJ among many other youngsters performing as residents in Kristal Glam Club (a place to be seen in Bucharest ). 
But Adrian needs challenge, so why not try to expand and use his talent over the producer’s area? In 2006, under the Sony Music guidance the hit “No Side Effect” was launched! A track that easily took an honorable place in top ten charts. Many Romanian and international producers appreciated it, also remixed the track. 
Other hits like “Desire” , “City Lights” and “Black Sea Coast” followed soon after. “Elevation” is his winning masterpiece at Heineken Music Thirst contest…and this way the borders opened: Ministry of Sound (London), Turnmills (London), Le Souk (New York), Buddha Bar (Sharm El Sheikh) – just to name a few.

In 2007, Adrian joined the One FM team. You can “warm up” for the weekend by listening his radio show, every Thursday starting 22:00.

Two years in a row (2006 and 2007) Adrian won the second place for The Best Romanian Dj at <a href="http://Nigths.ro">Nigths.ro</a> Awards.

Climbing to the top continued in 2009, when he’s nominated again in the same category! Getting the award for The Best Romanian Dj was just icing on the cake!

To be continued…



Three is the magic number for The Cactus Channel. The ever-evolving Melbourne collective’s third album Stay A While represents a new consciousness and a decisive turning point. Unloosed from their earlier incarnation as an instrumental soul and funk band into something wilder, a little darker and heavier, the new album sees The Cactus Channel diving in deep to dreamlike soundtracks, electrifying wig-outs and woozy meditations. 

The new embodiment of The Cactus Channel flexes their classic soul and funk influences whilst expanding their own songwriting along psychedelic paths, adding weight and substance to their melodic and rhythmic axis. There were signifiers along the road; a boundary-splintering EP with Ball Park Music singer Sam Cromack last year, following a 7” single collab with Nick Murphy, released as The Cactus Channel feat. Chet Faker. These outings were a glimpse of the alchemy of adding vocals to the band’s typically intuitive, instrumental arrangements. And now with the band’s own Lewis Coleman stepping up to the mic, a vocal dimension has become part of The Cactus Channel’s fully formed, signature sound.

Looking back to when The Cactus Channel formed in high school, united by shared interests and a shared sense of humour, they were always set to walk this new path. A love of soul music and the kind of hip hop, jazz, and alternative releases that spring from it, meant that from the beginning The Cactus Channel have prided themselves not just on eclecticism, but on the constant sharing of influences among their members; exploring new influences and sonic territories.

The story behind NTO started with a match made in heaven, a kid from the South of France always hooked to his guitar, and electronic and dance music. After going to the Sziget Festival when he was 18, NTO started to hang out regularly at La Villa Rouge, and Bar Live, two legendary clubs in the South of France. At the time, German minimal techno music was booming and Anthony Favier would spend his nights listening to Stephan Bodzin, James Holden, or the very beginnings of Paul Kalkbrenner: "My biggest music crush of all time”. The evocative power of music, strong kicks and the unifying atmosphere of dancefloors: this is the triple focus that will inspire him to create and produce music without going through the usually mandatory DJ phase.

The story behind NTO is also about his friendship with Worakls and Joachim Pastor, with whom he created Hungry Music in 2013. Performing together on the Olympia’s stage to the Vieilles Charrues Festival, they learned to master the stage, and seduced a new generation that would follow them faithfully from this moment on. Thanks to his hits "Trauma" and "La clé des champs", which account for several millions of streams on DSPs, NTO's career took off internationally: from The Netherlands, to Germany, to Eastern Europe to Canada...  

Today, NTO is about to start a new chapter of his career. With deep basses and lysergic harmonies, he filters different layers of his melodies to make them sparkle even more, just as if they emerged from the water after hitting rock bottom. NTO is currently working on his first album.
