Mihai Popoviciu. Home (Vinyl)

Mihai Popoviciu : The album's called home because it is inspired by my experiences from my home city Sibiu in
Romania. Home is also the place where the album was produced, in my stripped down studio. It is where I always
return to rest and chill after touring the world and the place where I feel most safe and comfortable. The artwork shows an
image of the airport lane in Sibiu with surrounding hills and mountains in the back. It is a metaphoric gate to both leave
and return home.
Romania's Mihai Popoviciu has carved out quite the career over the past decade releasing material through the likes of
Highgrade, Hudd Traxx, Poker Flat and Fear of Flying. Here though we see him deliver his second full-length album and
return to Bondage Music following a single on the label back in 2013.
Across the project Mihai delivers his signature dance floor focused, stripped back style with records like
'ACK', 'Sandstone Folder' and 'Tentacle Operated' showcasing the hypnotic and percussive style
Popoviciu executes so well. The project also drifts into smooth dubby realms via compositions like
'Cannon Poets' and 'Sunshine' while the likes of 'Triumph' and 'Music 999' radiantly display Mihai's proficient production abilities as he wanders into a brighter more house centric
sound.
All in all Mihai Popoviciu turns in a coherent long player whilst exploring a broad range of styles, 'Focus and 'Havana' lay
down a groove-led feel with subtle modulations and an unfaltering structure, while
'Data On Data', 'Paranoia' and 'Hypnosia' tip the focus over to dark and brooding territories with murky synth pads and
chuggy low end tones. Once again Popoviciu has proven himself to be one of Romania's finest electronic music exports.
