In his home town of Bucharest, Romania, Pedro aka Petre Inspirescu has long been a pivotal figure alongside his frequent accomplices Raresh and Rhadoo. He started djing in 1999 in a small club called Web Club. Four year ago he became resident at Circoloco, Dc10 Ibiza and since then, his way of feeling and understanding electronic music changed completely. In the last three years, his appearances throughout the whole world have brought his name to many listeners’ lips, heightening interest in the fertile Romanian scene-an unexpected outpost of advanced electronic music.
He set high standards with the track “De Bou” that was released on his own label Arpair which he founded with his friends Rhaddo & Raresh in 2007. The following productions of Petre Inspirescu (his name as a producer) prove that this success wasn’t only a singular case. Thus it’s only fair that Luciano’s Cadenza, one of the most respected labels in the electronic music scene, approached Pedro and signed him right away.
In December he released his greatest release so far, a 3 x 12″ EP with 6 amazing tracks that really show all this guy’s talent. The tracks feature Inspirescu’s trademark slowly-evolving organic techno sound, with a strong emphasis on percussiveness, hypnotic little passages and attention to sonic detail. His productions make me remind a lot some Villalobos or Luciano tracks – like you will be able to notice in tracks like “Astral” or “Sad & Sand” where he inputs a tremendous minimal sense gathered by deep percussions and appealing melodies and they all combine perfectly creating an environment that almost anyone can in what matters to this kind of music and rhythm. All of them are long length tracks and the one I like the most is “Evar” composed by a genuine 4 x 4 beat, an amazing melancholic chords and a percussion that will lead you into heaven. Petre Inspirescu is the example of the state of Romanian scene right now, they have an enormous sense of appeal and I just hope that we can see more Pedro releases coming out really soon. Released by Arpiar, his own label, one of the best EP’s of last year and one of the installments of the decade!
