From his uni days in England Bucharest native Victor Ernuteanu has been known as Guy From Downstairs. This producer first, DJ second has a unique ear for sound and over the years has been able to collect together the absurd and abstract and couple them together to form some of the most impressive sounds to emanate from the Romanian capital in recent times. Being influenced from everybody from Michael Jackson to MF Doom and everybody and anything in between GFD has a whole suitcase full of curveballs ready to throw your way.

As you might expect from an artist that has released on a section of labels such as QNQN, RAWAX, Curtea Veche, Acme, The Other Side, Robsoul, Pleasure Zone, and his own GFD imprint his sound palette is wide and varied. This varied approach is laid bare in all its electronic goodness on his instalment in our InSession podcast series. From laidback deepness to break fuelled heaters, acid soaked bangers and of course Romanian minimal, all are expertly stitched together.

Guy From Downstairs - Trommel InSession 095

I know we say this almost every week, but for our next edition of Trommel InSession we have something very special for you. The moniker Respond/React might be new but it is comprised of three artists that are certainly not new to the scene. Artists Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice will no doubt conjure up lengthy Sentaku parties helmed by their founders and regulars that have helped the Parisian / London based label and event series to flourish. The ethos of the triple trouble combo offers fresh perspective in the relationship between crowd, the music and the emotion that comes with hearing a new track at home and the effect that it has on the audience at a gig. 

The three have illustrious solo adventures and so the prospect of all three artists working together behind the decks is mouth-watering. Luckily for you this ethos was cemented in the live recording of their set for the French brothers Mates in Bordeaux. At the Sentaku showcase Man/Ipulate, Massaï, and Lamalice deftly switch between banging house, grinding basslines and insistent breaks all with a special synergy between them that resulted in this vibe heavy recording.
