Misbits Goes Out To Sunwaves

We think that many of us have been waiting for a little (or not so little) break from our day to day activities.. and the wait is almost over because SUNWAVES Festival is just one week away! Each year, the end of April marks the start of the summer festivals season!

For Romania, this means the spring edition of Sunwaves, where music heads from around the globe gather together for an insane 7 days non-stop party at the seaside where they enjoy hearing what their favourite artist have been cooking up lately 😀

As usual, the SW Team doesn’t dissapoint and has prepared a crazy line-up! From tech-house to minimal to breaks and electro, there’s a day and time for everybody! No matter what electronic music styles suit you, be sure you are in for a treat 🙂

After 15 years and more than 27 editions, the movement is still going strong and we hope that with each passing year, we will be able to create even more great memories together, dancing in the sun and near the waves!

We appreciate all the work they have done to make this happen and we wish them all the best with their future projects 💗

This year we thought it would be great to be part of this amazing festival and share our love for vinyl with you.. so we made it happen! If you want to find out more, we advise you keep on reading 😉

Many thanks for the SW Team for this collaboration 💗 Now, let’s get going with some details so you know what to expect.

The doors of our pop-up shop will open on Friday at 10 AM. You can find us and our record crates until Tuesday. We’ve already gathered a small team to help us these days so you can have plenty of time to come and check out some cool music!

We will be open everyday, but one important thing, closing time will probably be around sundown!

Speaking of music, we have specially prepared some crates for this occassion, with both new and second-hand records. Our stand will have listening stations and we will be more than glad to help you find the electronic music styles you’re looking for 😉

Besides vinyl, we will also be selling slipmats, vinyl care products such as record brushes, covers, sleeves and also some merch – shirts, totebags, books and a few blouses specially made for this occasion. These will be in limited numbers, so first come, first served! When it comes to records, we think there will be enough for everybody, hehe 😀

We are super excited about this and we hope this is exciting news for you aswell! We know that not everyone would have had the time to visit our shop in Bucharest.. so this time, we bring the shop to you 🙂

There’s only a week left until we meet on the beach.. so little time until we get together and create some more amazing memories together! Take care of yourselves and see you very very soon! One love <3

after nine years… march 2022…

It is said that spring brings with it the renewal of life, everything returns to its original state, only not completely the same as before 🙂

While waiting for the weather to get warmer, we thought of some cool activities we would like to do this month!
Before getting into the subject, we feel like we need to share something with you.

You know us, even when the times are dark, we like to keep up a positive vibe, for only love and positivity help us create a better environment.

These past two years have been hard for all of us, but the past two weeks have been even harder for the people of Ukraine.

We will not get to the political side of this story, we only care about the effect this has on the ordinary people of Ukraine.. people like you, like me.. people like us.
It’s hard to imagine what they must be going through, even though they have no fault in this!

We want to offer our help in any way we can, so we are asking for your help aswell!

If you are willing to donate clothes/food/any other items you think can be useful, you can bring them to our shop and we will make sure they will reach the people who really need them in these difficult times!

We would like to thank you all in advance for your kindness

This being said, let’s move on to what March has in stock for us at Misbits 🙂 We will start the month with a giveaway!!!

You can find more information about this, what you have to do and what is the prize by clicking –> here <–

This year also marks the 9th anniversary of our little shop, so what better way to celebrate it than with a special series of livestreams aaand.. an anniversary party! 😀

Yep, you heard that right 😉

The “after 9 years..” concept is a podcast series, a plan of 4 streams from the shop, one for each week of this month.
You already know the drill.. we bring the amazing artists, they bring the music, all that’s left for you to so is to enjoy <3.

The first stream of the series brings back Cristi Cons to the shop, it has been quite a while since he last played in our cosy spot so you can imagine we are very happy and curious to hear what records he has prepared for us. Our dear shopkeeper Ioana (some of you know her as Miss I) will join him, they will play for a hour and a half each.

If you want to find out more about this event, click –> here <–

This month, nine years ago, Ioana’s dream came into being. The electronic music record store this city much needed finally opened!

Now, after all these years, we believe that we should celebrate our 9th anniversary together! (maybe we’ll make a tradition of this)

We’ve teamed up with Club Guesthouse and we are cooking an event which will take place inside their venue 🙂

We will not say more at this moment, think of this as some kind of teaser.
More information will become available as the event will soon be posted online, you just need to be have a little patience! (it will be worth it.. we promise!)

Also, we have a special announce to make for the 8th of March, which you well know it’s the International Woman’s Day.
The girls will have a special 15% discount on all our products! If there’s someone you know who loves vinyl, this is a great opportunity for a gift 😀

We can’t say for sure this is all we have planned for this month, who knows how many more ideas we might come up with?
For now, we wanted to share our plans with you, anything else that might happen… be sure that we’ll let you know!

Thanks for believing in us, it’s obvious we couldn’t do it without you, but even so, we want you to know we appreciate your support.
We wish you all a happy beginning of the Spring!!!! See you at the shop 😉

Here Are Our Staff Picks For September

It was about time to return to our old digging habits after this epic summer. Lots and lots of records to  check so our appetite for discovering mind blowing vinyl releases was satisfied 100%. The hardest thing to do was actually to keep this list down to only 3 records, just to pass towards you the pleasure of discovering new music throughout Misbits’ shop.

So, let’s get down to business: here are our favourite picks for September 2019, don’t sleep on these ones as they’re selling fast 😉 

Happy digging!

Orli – LORI001

If there was a darker side of electronic music, then Orli is one of its regular visitors. This EP is soaked into a heavy electro atmosphere, finding also room for weird electronic experiments. All the tracks are perfect tools to surprise your crowd at any given time during your set. It’s one of those releases that get better and better every time you play it.

Our favourite track: Strat

matteo. – THREADS002

Deep house made in Italy by a mysterious record label? Yes, sir! matteo. takes us on a sunny trip with his soft Detroit textures and electro nostalgia. To be played when the dance floor is asking for some positive feelings around sunrise 😉

Our favourite track: Byba

DJ Cream / Black Loops – City Lights

“If House was a nation, I wanna be president…” These infamous lyrics apply perfectly to this split collab between DJ Cream and Black Loops. DJ Cream’s Smile & Stay High, the label focused on the housier side of electronic music, has hit us with City Lights, a 4 tracker that would please the ears of anyone digging a refreshed house music sound, Its influences go all the way back to the NY house scene from the 90s’, regardless if we follow the subtle Rhodes bits or the hard pressed kicks.
