VLAD ARAPASU

Skewing to the more percussive side of the Romanian spectrum, Vlad Arapasu’s refined sound, incorporates hints of jazz, most likely emanating from his early influences from the likes of Wes Montgomery and Alice Coltrane. Vlad's symbiotic approach to his music has seen his compositions acquired by fellow countryman Priku, for his acclaimed 'Atipic' imprint, and London’s EastEnd Dubs eponymous label 'Eastenderz', to name but a few. But whilst his solo production project may be embryonic, debuting in 2018, Vlad is no newcomer on the DJ circuit. Boasting a 13-year tenure which includes a salient residency at the late XS club in Iasi, Vlad has cut-his-teeth alongside some of Romania's most illustrious turntable purveyors, including Rhadoo, Raresh, Barac, Cezar and Dubtil, to name but a few.
