Mihai Pol

Romania has quite an extensive history with minimal tech-house. The various waves of talent to bust out of the country have something in common: they were all masters of form and function. One of the latest additions to this great legacy is Mihai Pol. Now he is stepping out into the spotlight. 

 Mihai Pol burst onto the scene in 2016 with "Goneta" through Capodopere, an EP that stood out for its lightness and striking uniqueness. His discography has evolved at a pace all its own. No two 12-inch records sound the same - from the sputtering acid of "Synkop" to the dreamy, rolling house textures of "Tango". 

 Following his work as a producer, Mihai works equally on the mind and the body in his role as DJ; this requires true artistry to pull on the hearts and move the legs in rhythm at the same time. "I like to make people dance and feel good, but I also try to tell a story, so it's something in between," says Mihai. Fast forward to the present and we see him traveling the world's underground venues and festivals, with pit stops on every continent.
