Cosmin Nicolae is a producer who debunks the notion that musical styles are specific to certain locations. Cosmin’s breakthrough single “Put You Down”/”Broken Hearts” launched Ben UFO, Ramadanman and Pangaea’s Hessle Audio imprint in 2007, an outlet that has since become inextricably linked with contemporary UK bass music. That release, particularly the ethereal, post–hardcore vocals of “Broken Hearts”, sound like they were inspired by the early morning vista from a council tower block in Hackney rather than downtown Bucharest.

B&F: Your sound has evolved from drum & bass to dubstep and garage, with a recent house flavour thrown in. Do you feel you’re following the influence of other producers, or just trying to make the music you’re most interested in?
TRG: I’ve always been fascinated with novelty and I’m genuinely just trying to make music that I like, that moves me. I do follow other producers, we all do, whoever says they’re not following is a liar. Sometimes I’d sit backstage before my set and go like: I don’t wanna play my set, I wanna play this guy’s disco set, I love it to bits. So whether you like it or not, you borrow from other people and maybe give something in exchange to others. With house, I cannot claim I’ve invented a new sub-genre or whatever, I’m just bringing my own interpretation of it, my idea of what’s so cool about it. And I just want to write things at that tempo these days. It’s a very marmite thing, people love it or hate it with equal amounts of passion. FROM >>
