Cosmin TRG Selects: 12 Amazing Electronic Moments Forged Into Romania’s Underground

There’s something strangely attractive in Cosmin TRG’s abrasive sound, a dark force that keeps pulling you towards the center of his techno infused universe. At times, this force resembles his left field influences, yet most of the times it is powered by his roots in the rich underground culture nested in Romania.

Releases for 50Weapons, Rush Hour, Hessle Audio or Hemlock come as a sonic proof for his unsatiable hunger for exploring new musical territories. In this context, Fizic, Cosmin’s own record label, appears to connect the dots between his visions and the vast world of audio experiments made out of beatless abstract shapes and techno strips.

After a long production hiatus, Cosmin TRG returns in March with Ecstatic Data, a full length ambient x left field album at Berlin based Feral Note. You can pre-order the album here.

Aside his substantial contribution to the electronic music underworld, there’s a more visual side of his creative spirit. The past years has caught Cosmin exploring the cinematic arts. 2024 marks his debut as a screenwriter and director. Cinci Faze, a short movie produced by Icon Production, will start shooting this spring, while a feature film is in the early stages with the same production company.
