About the party

Iulian began experimenting with production in the late ‘90s while studying computer science. By 2005 he had started to take music production “seriously,” and his first release landed in 2008 as Hermannstadt Collective — a collaboration with Mihai Popoviciu and ToyGUN. His debut solo EP landed soon thereafter on Smoke City Music, presenting Iulian’s deep and organic sound. Further releases have since arrived thick and fast, including a 2012 EP featuring a Petre Inspirescu remix and a 2017 LP titled ‘Vrăjitorul din Orz.’ The six-tracker was the result of a “production spree” inspired by a two-year spell during which Cazan sought fresh inspiration. “I just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over again,” he explains. His 2016 ‘Paloșul’ EP as Iovan Iorgovan was written around the same period.
Elsewhere, Iulian runs the Stomping Grounds label and the Vade Mecum sub-label. The former is focused on “timeless music,” hence it sees around only one release per year. In contrast, Vade Mecum is more dynamic and free-flowing.

As part of the Colectiva Gazette assembly of artists and musicians, he was a long time resident at the Gazette club and founder of the Algoritm series which were hosted by the club.
Inspired by the Berlin Minimal and House scene, and the 90’s Techno movement his selection of music is dazzling and groovy, ambiance and spacy, with a touch of vintage, always focusing on generating movement on the dancefloor and creating a synergy between his sound and the people in front of him.
As a producer, his focus is on minimal, abstract yet groovy music, and while no official tracks have been released he is planning on getting them released by the end of this year!
