Oooook, this is a post I've been so keen in writing for about two weeks now.
If this mix is anything to go by, clubbing in the foreign lands is getting fresher and more provocative than in maaaaaaany places here in London! Not criticizing (too much) the London scene right now, but many times, it all feels like it's more about the dough than the music, more about selling candy and "ceeedeees" than giving people the good time they deserve. Any healthy left orientated activist will surely back me up on this. I'm glad I got this off my chest, now I can happilly emigrate to Cuba/China, those last bastions of social "equality". Let's get this mix playing before any of you out there starts yelling "Rave-olution" and all off a sudden we get the authorities on our doorstep. Here goes...
For a well-deserved, yet very stale at times, 10 day break to my hometown of Bacau (that's Romania for you western readers), this mix has repeatedly surprised me with escalating thrills of pleasure. Why do I say surprised me: well, because anyone of you who's ever been to Bacau will know that the city looks like Cernobyl on a good day (hell! we even got the radioactive mountain to prove it) and the protagonist of our story, Alex Baciu is exactly from here; and why do I say pleasure...well that's for you to decide. All I will say is that throughout its just over 1 hour of playtime, Alex manages to keep the energy levels going gradually higher, melting minimal beats with some good (totally un-cheesy) house and even some amazing progressive bombs.

Although from Bacau, Alex has moved to Bucharest (thank god) to sink in the clubbing scene there. He is probably at a stage now when he's spreading his gospel through as many gigs as possible, so if you're ever down there in "little Paris" be sure to stalk him.
I'll give you his online home:

You can defo start from here. The code word, if he asks, is b87terbf897y4389; make sure you get this right from the start, otherwise you will never be given another chance.
More about communism in the next post my comrades.
