For EdiP, music has at all times began with listening. A sound catches him, and he chases it into the studio till it turns into his personal. That intuition has carried the Romanian DJ and producer from a pc display in Bucharest to the highest of Beatport’s charts, into the primary room at UNVRS Ibiza, and into an in depth working relationship with John Summit. Subsequent, it’s pointing him towards america.
He discovered digital music on-line first. “My first encounter with digital music was by means of the UKF YouTube channel, again within the golden period of dubstep and drum & bass,” he says. “I went to my first celebration at 16 and liked the music immediately.” From there, curiosity pulled him towards manufacturing. “I would at all times been a gamer, glued to my laptop, and in the future I downloaded my first DAW and began experimenting, making an attempt to recreate the sounds I would heard at these events.”
Home music got here slightly later. “I went to my first Rominimal celebration, which was my first actual contact with home music,” he remembers. “Rising up in Romania formed my sound towards a extra minimal strategy, which I’ve since up to date to the sound I am into at present.”
That minimal basis gave him his first massive wins. “Romania is understood for its minimal strategy, and that is precisely what I used to be making a few years in the past,” he explains. In 2024 his collaboration with Chicks Luv Us, ‘Nuthin’ On’, reached #1 on Beatport’s Minimal / Deep Tech chart, and ‘Bout That C’ adopted at #2 on the identical chart. “Each had been supported by among the greatest names in underground music, together with Marco Carola, Jamie Jones and Joseph Capriati,” he says.
He has stored these roots whereas pushing them ahead. “I am conserving these roots, however adapting them to the brand new indie and tech home sound I am making now,” he says. “I believe I am one of many few artists in Romania following this new indie tech home motion whereas staying true to my minimal roots.”
The file that marked that shift started, fittingly, with one thing he heard in his personal head. “One of many data I am proudest of is ‘Drgs & Purr,’ launched on Catch & Launch, FISHER’s label,” he says. “It began with a line I had in my head and recorded as a voice notice, and the session that turned it right into a file was one of the crucial enjoyable I’ve ever had.”
FISHER then took the monitor to Tomorrowland. “FISHER performed it throughout his Tomorrowland set, and other people began displaying actual curiosity in it,” EdiP says. “The monitor additionally gave me my first high 10 on the Beatport Tech Home chart. It was the primary file that caught the eye of the highest tech home DJs and put me on the map as a rising tech home artist.”
He factors to 2 nights because the turning factors of his profession. The newest got here this summer season at UNVRS. A yr earlier, he had stood on its dancefloor as a raver at FISHER’s celebration when FISHER dropped certainly one of his tracks, and he promised himself he can be within the sales space the following summer season. He stored that promise, enjoying the primary room throughout FISHER’s residency and changing into the primary Romanian artist to play the membership. “UNVRS is the world’s primary membership, in order that one wants no clarification,” he says. You may watch the set right here.
The opposite got here the October earlier than, when John Summit introduced him to Consultants Solely at Loveland throughout ADE 2025 in Amsterdam. “That evening will stick with me for the remainder of my life,” EdiP says. “It was a dream come true, and my first look at a extra Western tech home celebration.”
Summit has since change into central to his story. “I’ve discovered quite a bit from John Summit,” he says. “I’ve performed on his exhibits a few instances and remixed two of his songs.” His remix of ‘Focus’ reached #5 on Beatport’s Tech Home chart, and ‘Shadows’ with LAVINIA adopted this October, reaching #2 on the Indie Dance chart and shutting in on a million streams. He had replayed the unique greater than fifty instances earlier than Summit requested him to remix it. “This time I positively felt extra stress. I wished to push myself and high the final one,” he says. “In some way, once I bought the stems, the entire thing got here collectively in a single day.”
The teachings went effectively past the studio. “I’ve seen how John works up shut, each on and off the stage,” he says. “An important factor I took from him is easy. Be good, it prices nothing. It sounds simple till it is not.” He has paid consideration to the enterprise aspect too. “I’ve additionally discovered quite a bit from his work ethic and the best way he manages his time. And I discovered from the best way he constructed his model. He is on the very high of the scene, but he stays humble and by no means misplaced contact with the place he got here from.”
Worldwide eyes have began to take discover this fall, and EdiP says that sort of recognition adjustments how he works. “It is one thing each artist aspires to, and press recognition makes us wish to push even more durable,” he says. “On the promoter aspect, it validated the work I have been placing in and confirmed them that this artist is de facto doing one thing.”
Now his ear is turned towards america, the place a lot of his viewers already is. “Greater than 60% of my listeners are based mostly there, and I am already getting requests from many promoters within the US,” he says. “I’ve launched on two of the most important labels within the US, Consultants Solely with ‘Nocturno’ and its remixes, and Insomniac Data with ‘Say What,’ so my music is already a part of the American scene.”
The draw is private too. “I like the best way Individuals celebration, the vitality is unmatched, and I wish to be there in particular person,” he provides. He desires to lastly be part of Consultants Solely exhibits within the States and make his Miami Music Week debut, together with his North American touring debut deliberate for early 2027. Past the exhibits, he plans to maintain constructing by means of collaborations with artists who share his imaginative and prescient.
“Anticipate numerous thrilling new tasks and debuts throughout the USA,” he says. For an artist who has at all times adopted what he hears, it’s a pure subsequent step.
