DJ Bogdan

The Trails label appeared as a natural continuation of the crew’s parties. By joining minds
with select producers they aim to showcase pieces that capture their collective vision of
electronic music.
On TRAILS001, they bring us their close friend and graphic designer Bogdan Năstase
going by the alias DJ Bogdan. As a reflection of the label’s philosophy and taste, the EP
presents themes of melancholy, introspection, mystery and hope, all wrapped in a sound
aesthetic reminiscent of 2000’s electro-techno with a touch of synth-pop. Shade Detector
kicks off the A side with enough energy to entice crowds during those peak hours of the

night. Next up comes the title track, Freakshow Parallax, a melancholic piece for the after-
hours. Moving on to the B side we find Videofreex. This one’s a creative and flexible tune

suitable at any point of the party. We wrap up with Fântâna Carteziană, a wonderfully
twisted minimal techno track that pays homage to a lost period of Bucharest’s history.
