E atât de ușor să asculți muzică în ziua de azi încât lumea uită că acum 10-15 ani era nevoie să fii inventiv dacă voiai acces la albumele tale preferate. Să-ți iei CD-uri era scump, să torentezi era ușor imoral, să le copiezi de la altcineva prin Bluetooth era complicat cu conexiunea între telefoane, ce era pe SoundCloud nu se putea descărca, iar vinilurile erau încă de modă veche pe atunci.

În schimb, de când cu Spotify, Apple Music și ce mai e pe acolo, consumul de muzică și lansarea ei pe piață au devenit ambele atât de simple încât nu există săptămână fără să apară zeci de proiecte noi, fie că-s single-uri, EP-uri, albume sau deluxe-uri cu 4 piese care să dea un boost unui album deja lansat.

Asta face și consumul ei mult mai rapid, lucru care nu-i încurajează pe artiști să petreacă mult timp perfecționându-și piesele și rafinând albumele, ci din contră. Îi încurajează să lanseze lucruri cât mai simple, cât de des pot.

În același timp, unii dintre ei au început să se revolte împotriva direcției ăsteia, fie pentru că vor să facă muzică așa cum le place lor, fie pentru că-s nemulțumiți de sumele pe care le încasează din streaming - despre care n-o să intrăm prea mult în detaliu pentru că-s multe studii pe subiect pe internet dacă vreți să aprofundați subiectul.

Unii dintre ei își vând CD-uri fizice cu albumele pe site-uri la pachet cu merch, alții își lansează muzica pe Bandcamp, iar câțiva amenință că n-o să mai scoată decât viniluri, ceea ce o să facă experiența de consum al muzicii lor ceva exclusiv pentru fanii cei mai dedicați.

În același timp, mai există proiecte care apar în afara platformelor de streaming și din motive creative, fie că e vorba de ediții aniversare ale unor albume mai vechi care se relansează pe casete sau viniluri, fie că e vorba de label-uri - deobicei de muzică electronică - care își vând proiectele pe vinil sau ca download digital ca să le ofere piesele cât mai calitativ DJ-ilor care vor să le mixeze.

Sunt multe opțiuni prin care să descoperi și să asculți muzică în ziua de azi, important e să ai urechile ciulite către ele ca să le descoperi dacă vrei să te bucuri de ea într-un alt mod decât se practică pe streaming.

A mai observat cineva cât de multă ceață a început să lase noaptea?

Nouă ne place rău, parcă ne face să ne simțim mai ok cu faptul că ieșim ca niște zombie de la petreceri în weekend.

For the first time in Romania, Ruffinaments are bringing you a proper slice of UK garage straight from the source 🇬🇧. Meet Cortese - a London-based duo who’ve been bending the rules of UKG and breaks since 2019.

𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗦𝗘 :::
With roots in Y2K-era trance and a love for euphoric, emotional dance music, they’ve carved out a sound that blends nostalgia with today’s UK club energy. The result? Tunes that hit hard on the floor but still tug at the feels.
Already championed by names like Sasha, salute, My Nu Leng, and Gentlemen’s Club, and on heavy rotation at BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM, and Rinse FM, Cortese are now landing in Romania for the very first time.

𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗜𝗟𝗟𝗔 :::
Blanilla is a Romanian DJ and producer with two decades of experience in the electronic music scene. Known for seamlessly blending breakbeat, UK Garage, 2-step, drum & bass, and house, he has played hundreds of gigs across Romania and beyond, from intimate club nights to massive festivals. Blanilla's productions have been released on iconic labels like Sound Of Habib, VIM Records, Ego Shot, and Distinctive Records. In 2015, his edit of Disclosure's "Defeated No More" earned a nomination for Best Free Track at the Breakspoll Awards.
During the pandemic, he founded Ruffinaments, a label dedicated to pushing the sounds of UK Garage, breaks, drum & bass, and house, further solidifying his role as a tastemaker in the scene.

𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗠𝗜 :::
Shimi - co-founder of the Made from Scratch crew and part of the Ruffinaments crew - has been rocking decks since 2008. Starting from Sfântu Gheorghe, he’s played across Romania in cities like Cluj, Bucharest, Timișoara, Iași, Brașov, and Sibiu, as well as major festivals including Electric Castle, Untold, Durusa, Peninsula, FanFest, and SnowRide. Over the years, he has shared the stage with names like Mobb Deep, Jeru the Damaja, Dope DOD, Wilkinson, Stanton Warriors, JFB, and many more. Rooted in old-school rap, his sets flow with intensity, shifting from hip-hop to funk, house, UKG, and drum’n’bass, always adapting to the crowd and energy.
