licushorescu – 3 Ianuarie

Listen to the applications received in the feeder sound OPEN CALL for DJs and producers & VOTE on https://www.feeder.ro/2019/08/25/vote-sound-open-call/ licushorescu – 3 ianuarie Set description: “I don’t give titles to my sets very often, but when I recorded this one, it was somewhat of a special occasion for me. “3 ianuarie”, or 3rd of January (for English speaking viewers); I woke up early that day, after a long night of digging tracks. And that night, I felt like I’ve just found the perfect combination of tracks for a set, so I went for it the very next morning. From the comfort and warmth of my own house, I could gaze upon the falling snow in the garden from time to time through the mixing process, making for a very pleasing and enjoyable experience because there is nothing as serene as seeing the trees covered in a fresh sheet of snow, on a quiet morning for me. Therefore, I’ve just named the set “3 ianuarie” and the title stuck with it ever since. The set didn’t get much publicity because I only published it for a week or two on my personal SoundCloud page, as I had other sets prepared in advance for various podcast series. It isn’t a long set to any extent, at 45′ it’s merely longer than what I would consider a set at all (30′ at least), but I just couldn’t find any other tracks to keep such a synergy throughout the mix and my impatience was growing more and more, so I had to go with what I had. I like my work when it’s presenting smooth transitions between the tracks and this one is no exception, so I hope it will take you to a journey, at least as much as it did me. I enjoy listening to it the most when I take a half an hour break in the day for a meditation session. Regarding the tracks, I took a very selective approach to try to create more of a mystical and nostalgic atmosphere with them. Most of them are older unreleased tracks from Mihai Pol that showcase his darker side, but the tracks, numbering 7 or 8 in total, are not from him only. Anyway, enough of that, I hope the description got your attention I think at this point I should let the music do the talking for itself.” About licushorescu | @licushorel I am Alexandru, but I go by the alias Licushorescu. I am a student living in Botosani, a small city in the northest part of Romania. I am a newcomer that started playing recently, more as a hobby than something serios. However, that’s not to say that I don’t take my mixtapes recorings seriously. Mixing deep minimal techno is what I go for mostly, but from time to time I take a step back to explore new areas in the realm of music as well, usually through the ambient genre.
