Bio

Cosmin TRG (formerly just TRG) is one of those producers who never seemed to have any one particular home base or community. Perhaps it’s being from Romania, or maybe it’s just the fact that his sound is as unpredictable as the labels he’s released on. Rush Hour, Bpitch Control, Hessle Audio, Tempa, Hotflush, are just some of the labels TRG has worked with. (Fact Magazine, 2010)

His first 12” on Hessle Audio garnered the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs among others, and labels soon got on his case: Hotflush, Cool&Deadly, This Is Music, Against The Grain, Tempa, Soul Jazz, ~scape, Fabric, Marine Parade and even the mighty Bpitch Control have turned to Cosmin for singles, remixes and licensing.

A fan of early dark garage as well as futuristic electronica, Cosmin TRG re-invents his music constantly, and currently champions modern electronics supported by the likes of Apparat,  Benji B, Gilles Peterson, Martyn, Ikonika, Jackmaster, Marcel Dettmann, Untold, A Made Up Sound, the Arpiar collective, Sinden, Roska, Falty DL, DJ Pete aka Substance,  MJ Cole, Zed Bias, Rob Da Bank, Laurent Garnier, Mary Anne Hobbs or Modeselektor among others. An alumni of the illustrious Red Bull Music Academy Toronto 2007 and a regular in music magazines such as Mixmag, DJ Mag, iDJ, Groove, Fact Magazine, Resident Advisor or Pitchfork Media, Cosmin TRG has taken his unique take on interesting dancefloor music to clubs and festivals including The End, Fabric, Flex, WMF, Sonar, Monegros or the notorious Paris Techno Parade.
