About
Mihai Marza is a producer and painter from Alba Iulia, Romania. He plays only his own music, live, with projected visuals.
The sound sits between house, breaks and UK garage. The set runs on Ableton Push 2, Intech PO16 and Traktor Kontrol Z2: tracks are launched, layered and mixed by hand on stage.
The paintings and the live set share one visual language: graffiti letters, LED type and colour fields on the wall, changing with the music.
Debut album finished. Release date to be announced.
Influences: Overmono, Bicep, Fred again.., Kruder & Dorfmeister, UK garage, dub
