Soundroom Podcast 103 - Austin (Ro)

◉◉ Soundroom Podcast 103 - Austin (Ro) Coming from Bucharest, Austin, on his real name Apostol Alexandru Augustin, was born in 1987, just two years before Romania claimed its independence. He had the first contact with music at the early age of 13 while playing the trumpet and learning music theory at Golgota Baptist Church Orchestra in Bucharest, an experience which clearly influenced his passion for music. Keeping this passion, he spends his teenage years exploring different genres of music until 2013 when he discovered Romanian electronic music and got in love with the uniqueness of the local minimal underground sound and scene. Starting as a Dj in 2017 he felt more attracted to music production and started intently producing beats in 2018, ever since he has been steadily releasing quite a list of tracks at different labels. ◉◉ Follow Austin: https://soundcloud.com/apostol-alexandru-augustin ◉◉ Follow Soundroom: www.facebook.com/soundroompodcast

No other genre of music that I've heard had such complex production methods where you can mix amazing bass grooves with minimalistic percussions/details, super organic sounds and elegant break-beat kicks which fit so perfectly together (and I've heard all from old school house to new deep techno and all in between). As far as Romania getting the title,it's mainly because they are the ones who took it to the next level,mind you this music is a form of micro-house/minimal that had been already in production for many years but on a very underground level - until Romania made it more popular (of course with the help of Ricardo Villalobos). The style of music really is something special,more intellectual in my opinion,because it takes a very trained ear to really understand it and enjoy it. For everyone whom is criticizing that it's only for druggies, this is very invalid information. Maybe the fact that it's so complex - it takes the average listener to take drugs in order to expand their mindset to listen and understand, but for those that get it, they do not need anything in order to enjoy such great abstract style of music." ◆◆
