Romanian Artists to Watch in 2019
After a good 2017 in electronic music, the trend continued in 2018 with more electro, broken beat, new beat, industrial and EBM, with new artists jumping on this train, so I’m curious where this will go in 2019.
On the local scene, in Romania, things are evolving in a slightly slower pace, but still in a good direction.
2018 Top 3 – Readers List
This is a short recap of what our readers enjoyed most on Hipodrome, a top 3 of the most appreciated albums, compilations, mixes and other stuff.
Albums
Vakula – Metaphors [Leleka]
The most appreciated album by our readers is ‘Metaphors’, the album from the Ukrainian master Vakula. ‘Metaphors’ is slightly different from some of his full-length excursions, focused as it is on the gently unfurling, head-in-the-clouds world of ambient music. Of course, much of the music is still gently rhythmic but the vibe remains thoroughly horizontal throughout.

Brian Harden – The World Peace EP [COLT002]
Originally released back in 2001 on Chicago’s finest Nite Life Collective, The World Peace is one of Brian Harden’s personal favourites among his many releases. Born in Chicago’s southside and back by popular demand, Harden’s back catalogue is full of gems, but it was after a series of coincidences that we decided to reissue two of the tracks on the original The World Peace EP, and then add a twist in the shape of an astounding remix by SIT, the duo formed by Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia.

Also I will make a review of the best parties and acts I’ve attended this year.
SIT – Kamuza EP [NAU001]
SIT aka Sideways Invisibility Theory are back on Romania’s new Neural label. The duo have molded their own particular brand of minimalistic house, a glorious concoction of organic beats and glitched-out melodies. “Moai” boasts one of those irresistibly addictive basslines that pounces forth with elegance, moving progressively beneath the jumble of percussion sounding something like Villalobos in one of his more animated moods. “Mazuka” treads down more experimental paths, with the hi-hats making themselves clearly audible amid the woozing synth which drains in an out of the beat.
SIT – Morfoza EP [AMPHIA003]
Stripped down & trippy house and techno from Romania’s Amphia. SIT – the pairing of Vlad Caia & Cristi Cons – delivers some breathtakingly beautiful results.
SIT – Sculptures Part 2: Year 3000 [JLY0196]
Jesus Loved You presents SIT, the new project from Romanians youngsters Vlad Caia and Cristi Cons. What really SIT represents for Vlad and Cristi is their fusion of characters under one definition. It’s a platform where two music people, with totally different background and skills in electronic music and not only, will experiment and discover the form and color that suits them best in the work they do.The idea is to focus on creating something dynamic and exploring new possibilities with every track while maintaining an original identity.
