Hungarian, Vienna based artist Vaelth has contributed to the label's catalog with groovy, textured released before. Having him as a guest artist for this series gave us a chance to hear him in action, bringing elegance and wit to a dancefloor mood.

We welcome Escu b2b Cretu to our 146th Episode of our growing podcast series. This special 2 hour 45 mix takes you on a journey of none-stop groove. 

Escu_ro - is a Romanian electronic music producer and DJ, active within the underground scene, known for his sophisticated and refined sound that sits at the crossroads between micro-house, minimal techno, and hypnotic groove. With a mature and detail-oriented musical aesthetic, Escu_ro crafts tracks that tell stories — often inspired by introspection, urban life, and analog warmth.
Active both in the studio and on the local scene, Escu_ro collaborates with niche labels from Romania and across Europe, delivering vinyl and digital releases that preserve the authentic spirit of underground music. His productions are carefully built using a mix of hardware equipment and digital techniques, blending subtle sound design with captivating grooves.
His tracks stand out through a distinctive and recognizable signature — a fine balance between energy and depth, organic textures and well-defined spatial dynamics. His music resonates with DJs and listeners who seek more than just a beat — they seek essence, atmosphere, and artistic coherence.
Escu_ro’s productions are played at major festivals worldwide, including Sunwaves Romania, Sunwaves Spain, and Sunwaves Zanzibar, as well as at venues like Club Guesthouse Bucharest, and events across London, Berlin, Russia, and many other locations. His music has been supported and played by renowned artists such as Mihigh, Herck, Barac, and many others.


Cretu  - With more than 15 years experience behind the decks, Cretu has experimented with a variety of sub-genres of electronic music from classic-house, deep-house, funky-house, tech-house to minimal, deep-techno, dubtechno, deep-lounge and even chill-out. He started his DJ career as a resident in a local pub where he warmed up the crowd for DJ’s like Mihai Popoviciu, Pagal, Optick, Marika, D-laid, Jay Bliss and many others and became more attracted by the underground scene after he tasted a Livio@Roby afterparty. His style is influenced by artists like Silat Beksi, Zendid, Nima Gorji, Rhadoo, Sepp, Ada Kaleh, Nu Zau and the list can go on.
In 2015 he started "Soundroom Bucharest Podcast", a livestream platform which aims to be a launching point for high-quality underground mixes, centered in the eye of the storm, Bucharest.

Dotwish with the hat trick! Add two more saves from Vendi and Trik and you have a flawless win, even on a cold rainy night in London , supported by most underground artists in Minimal/ House Genres, recently by Cosmjn (playing Infiltrate on his Japan Tour this year). 3 original tracks with Alternate reminding of his older obsession with elegant, tight minimal swinging grooves to Vacuum Wave that is a peak time roller and the dark and atmospheric Infiltrate. Remix by VENDi is a highlight on its own due to the mastery shown here by Ludovic, containing real power under a steady groove. Trik takes us on a totally different journey with intricate monologues and sounds to perfectly complete the 17th release by the label.

Mastering: RV Audio.
Artwork: ZMF.
