Crate Digging With Cosmin TRG

Cosmin TRG

With 2 seminal albums launched at the now defunct 50Weapons, releases signed at Hessle Audio and Rush Hour and a curatorial effort for his own record labels (Sportiv and Fizic), Cosmin TRG can be easily tagged as one of the artists who pushed the definition of techno deep into the uncharted territories of electronic experiments.
By all means, Cosmin TRG’s unique perspective on techno required a constant digging on the outskirts of the underground, be it cinematic, visual or sonic. So this why we challenged him to select a handful of records that are really close to his soul.
We were blessed with an eclectic selection, sliding from experimental to ambient and back. Enjoy!

Crate Digging With Julian

julian

The iconic Club Guesthouse has been at the epicenter of Romania’s electronic underground for the past 10 years. Julian‘s residency at Guesthouse came as an epitome of his record selector skills. In perfect sync with the crowd, these selections took us often to various places and states of mind. As remarkable as are his DJing performances, Julian runs also Eliptic Records together with Fengda Carissa.

We kinda got in the mood for those dusty club memories so we asked Julian to dig a bit through his record collection, to serve as an inspiration for our vinyl hungry souls. Enjoy!

We Want Your Old Records: Vinyl Trade Weeks @ Misbits Record Shop

vinyl trade

Everybody has a few records that were left to accumulate dust on some distant record shelf in our bedroom. They were once among our favourite ones, but as our music taste changed, so the old records got abandoned 🙁

We thought of giving this sad vinyl story a happy ending, so we introduce the Vinyl Trade program at Misbits 😀 Think of the buyback principle but with vinyl records. Let us get you through the details:

Choose one record from your collection. The record has to present itself in Very Good + condition (at least). Check here what VG+ means

Bring it to Misbits Record Shop and leave it into the Vinyl Trade crate

Choose 1 (one) new record from our stock (it has to fall under the same genre / category as the old one you’re about to trade) to receive a 10 lei discount at the counter.

Go home and play those new sounds 🙂

Cool, right? Wait, there’s more to it: on the 20th of December, one of the traders will be lucky enough to win the whole crate containing all the old records traded until this date.

Happy Digging & Trading, everybody!

Jay Bliss’ Vinyl Selection:

jay bliss - Misbits Record Shop

16 years from his debut as a DJ at some underground raves in Sibiu, his hometown, we found Jay Bliss launching the third release of his very own record label, Stomping Grounds, and also preparing a new vinyl project called Vade Mecum. We can only expect top notch stuff from an artist that helped building the house & techno underground’s foundations in the heart of Romania.

We asked Jay Bliss for a quick look into his ever-growing vinyl collection, as a small introduction into his musical universe. Can’t wait to catch him playing this Saturday at Misbits Record Shop, when we’ll celebrate Record Store Day with good music, friends and a lot of surprises 😉

Your early DJing days in Sibiu in one record.

[OVM9004LP] Josh Wink ‎– 20 To 20

The first record shop you’ve ever visited.

A record shop in Brasov, forgot the name, but it was the first record shop in Romania. I think it was in 2001 or 2002. I saved money for a few months, spent a whole day there and left with 30-40 records.

The highest price you paid on discogs for one record.

I never buy super expensive records from discogs. I think i paid around 30E on In Sync ‎– Storm.

3 records you bought exlusively for your home listening pleasures

[!K7 Records / K7073] Kruder & Dorfmeister – The K&D Sessions TM
[Warp Records / Wap105] Aphex Twin – Windowlicker
[Delaphine 003] S.A.M. – Delaphine 003
