Andrei Voica shares unreleased minimal techno sketches on Piese Nelansate 04

Piese Nelansate 04 lands less like a tidy album and more like another drawer opened inside Andrei Voica’s catalog. The title itself, unreleased pieces, signals archival intent, and the record backs that up with eight tracks that all run in the 6- to 8-minute range, the kind of span that favors patient layering over quick payoff.

Bandcamp’s tags place the release squarely in a dense minimal corridor: electronic, minimal house, microhouse, minimal, minimal techno, rominimal, and Bucharest. That combination matters because it frames the record as part of the Romanian-adjacent minimal tradition without locking it into a single lane. In practice, Piese Nelansate 04 reads as groove-first material built for gradual shifts, where small changes and texture do the heavy lifting.

The track names reinforce that balance between utility and personality. Geko, Interesting, Psychos, Fly High, RMD, Get Down, Camera, and That’s crazy sound like titles from an artist comfortable moving between functional club language and left-field playfulness. With no long written statement attached, the track lengths and the metadata do the framing themselves, turning sketchbook material into a coherent minimal-techno statement rather than a pile of leftovers.

That sense of continuity is what makes the release feel deliberate. Piese Nelansate 01 arrived on May 6, 2022, Piese Nelansate 02 followed on May 23, 2022, and Piese Nelansate 03 appeared in late 2025. Piese Nelansate 04 extends that recurring series, suggesting not a one-off purge of drafts but a self-archiving practice that keeps circling back to the same idea. Voica’s Bandcamp profile identifies him as Bucharest, Romania-based, and his catalog now lists 80 releases, which places this new chapter inside a substantial body of work.

That Bucharest connection is more than a location tag. Voica’s earlier Resemnat EP, released on July 5, 2022 with Lumieux, was described by Tzinah Records as delivering “microhouse grooves from the heart of Bucharest,” and it was mastered by Silat Beksi. The release also drew support from names including Raresh, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna, Danny Tenaglia, Mihai Popoviciu, Primarie, Gel Abril, Samu.l, Costin Rp, Hermanez, Jacobo Saavedra, Herck, Michel de Hey, Vern, Constratti, Sossa, Suolo, Petit Batou, Los Bastoneros, vlf, and Mike.D.

Seen against the wider Romanian scene, Piese Nelansate 04 fits a lineage that began in Bucharest’s underground clubs in the mid-2000s and later crystallized through rominimal’s global reach. a:rpia:r, founded in 2007 by Rhadoo, Raresh, and Petre Inspirescu, and the Sunwaves Festival, running since 2007 on Romania’s Black Sea coast, helped define that world. Voica’s latest release feels like part of that same architecture, where the rougher edges are not discarded but preserved as the point.
