Db Artists Musique Podcast - 128 - Dragosh

Romania has long been responsible for some of electronic music’s most exciting and innovative talents. Even in such company, Dragosh stands alone. A diverse producer who’s just as comfortable making minimal techno as he is intricate deep house, his is a sound that continues to evolve with each passing release. Born in Bucharest, Dragosh and his family migrated to Milan, Italy when he was 15. Although he’d initially encountered electronic music in Romania, it was in Milan where his hobby soon gave way for a full- blown obsession. Equally inspired by jazz and hip hop, the teenage Dragosh soon immersed himself in all things sound, starting his production career in earnest using basic software to comprise his very first productions. A fast learner and a natural at manipulating soundwaves and musical algorithms, Dragosh, even at a early age, quickly realised he’d found his calling. Fast-forward to 2017 and it’s safe to say Dragosh’s music has evolved at an impressive rate. A prolific producer, his music has featured on some of the scene’s most renowned labels, with Desolat, Viva Music, Moon Harbour and Brouqade among those who’ve played host to the Romanian’s unique sound. As impressive a DJ as he is a producer, Dragosh’s sets are equally imbued with passion and are every bit as unpredictable as the music he makes in the studio. His talent behind the decks has led to gigs all across Europe, with Paris, Milan, Manchester and Rome just some of the cities Dragosh he’s graced with his sound. Now residing in Milan, Dragosh is a regular at berlin clubs such as Club der Visionaire (where he often plays alongside Dana Ruh at her Brouqade & Friends parties) and Chalet, while closer to home he’s also played at Romania’s much renowned Sunwaves Festival. 2017 looks set to be another busy one, with releases for Dutch label Memoria and emerging British imprint Curtea Veche both due out before the year is out. As passionate about music now as he was when he was 15, Dragosh’s musical evolution thankfully shows no sign of slowing down any time soon.
