Ukrainian vinyl label ARTREFORM significantly raises the stakes as its important anniversary
(a soon-to-be-released 50th record) is gradually approaching. ARR048 is a double record,
including three original tracks by Romanian producer Funky Trip and four Barac, Petit Batou,
Lorgu, and Lukea remixes. ARTREFORM’s founder, Kyiv DJ and sound producer JOSS,
obviously trusts and bets on Funky Trip’s talents, and this bet looks set to play out big time.
Nicolae Catalin Cimpoier (Funky Trip’s actual name) is a notable representative of the new
wave of the Romanian electronic scene that catapulted many stars to global fame. Thanks to
a series of successful releases on Rawax Music and Stamp Records Paris, this Bucharest
musician perfected his recognizable sound of crystal-clear minimal house, embellished with
warm emotions and exquisite, shimmering melodies. Now it’s high time Funky Trip
transitioned to vinyl!
