The second installment of Amphia reveals the crew’s other half. Vlad Caia. Now living in Oslo, Vlad is one of the best romanian producers and he brings out a very fresh slice of minimal house. Projections is a clap driven tunnel track that will certainly make you think and dance in the same time. On the other hand Venera is a more housier toolish approach. Japanese artist and Berlin resident, Fumiya Tanaka, delivers a stunning Projections remix. Limited to 500 copies, this disc is a must have for sure

what about a world projected only in the mind of the creator ? a world imagined with the sole purpose of not obiding the omnipresent sonic and musical rules. an outlaw world with no boundries you can’t cross, an infinite ocean of musical shapes and genres where everything fuses gently to project a horizon that is never reached.
this metaphor was the original ideea that led romanian artists Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia to start their Amphia label . a concept so simple and so complex in the same time , a name that makes you think of endless possibilities, music that morphs in ways they can only imagine. like the lost world of Atlantis, Amphia is here to rediscover some of the lost artefacts of ancient music using a very futuristic technique. their debut disc intitled Traversa is signed by Cristi Cons and features a very eclectic remix from friend producer and dj Petre Inspirescu. limited to 300 copies.

Cezar & Praslea join forces with Amphia’s own Cristi Cons for the first Understand party of this fall. Expect nothing more than a regular clubnight and nothing less than you expect. Do you understand ?
our own Dan Andrei & Cezar Lazar are featured on the new Green & Blue compilation mixed by Raresh & Sascha Dive. Raresh uses tracks from both Understand 001 and Arpiar 009 releases while Sascha Dive chose Cezar's superb Fri1911 to open his mix.
first Understand vinyl has arrived. Cezar Lazar really sets out a milestone with his first release. belive it or not the epic Fri1911 and the percussive Tulbara started once as a single track. the excellent clarinet solo by Vadim Bondarenko reveals a very eclectic atmosphere on side a while the flipside offers a power tool that stands out as a complete track as well. limited to 300 copies.
