New year, new looks. But the same good old tunes. 🕺

Since 2004, Alin Crihan has been quietly crafting his skills in the fields of production and dj-ing.

Born and raised in Targu-Mures, a small, town in the heart of Transylvania, the seeds of his passion for music were planted from an early age, taking various shapes and forms.

A turning point came in 2009 when he moved to Bucharest, where he continues to grow and evolve into deeper and more experimental territories. Debut releasescame in early 2015 on labels such as Naural and Sammy Dee’s Ultrastretch.

Over the last 20 years, more than 60 12” vinyl releases carry Alin’s name in one alias or another, either as Crihan or as his alteregos Discret Popescu or Modest Ionescu.

Behind the decks you can catch him playing in lineups that include Petre Inspirescu, Raresh or Rhadoo and also Zip, Valentino Kanzyiani, Konstantin,
Maayan Nidam and many more, in various venues from his adoptive Bucharest at clubs like Guesthouse or festivals like 3 Smoked Olives, Sunwaves, or places across Europe like Club der Visionaere or Robert Johnson, and many more across the continent as well as in North and Central America, North Africa or the near or far East.
