Andu Simion

Andu Simion's solo debut on Eric Cloutier's Berlin-based Palinoia imprint is a tight four-track house and minimal set that proves restraint can be as powerful as excess. Gen Y All stands out as the clear highlight - hypnotic, purposeful, the kind of track that justifies a three-minute loop on the dancefloor. Released in February 2018, Heavy Glow EP shows an artist working within minimal frameworks but never sounding austere or cold.

Palinoia has established itself as a thoughtful outlet for stripped-back house and techno thinking, and Simion fits that aesthetic naturally. These four cuts sit somewhere between the meditative and the propulsive, with enough low-end definition to suggest club context without ever feeling formulaic.

A solid entry point if you're seeking something with substance rather than novelty - the kind of release that rewards repeated listening.
