Moods & Grooves welcomes back Romanian producer Andu Simion, nearly a decade after his first appearance on the label with Les Sons De La Lisière, the 2014 debut of Lisière Collectif. Since then, Simion has carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting names in the European underground, delivering a string of refined minimal techno and microhouse releases that highlight his meticulous approach to groove and sound design. With the Code Shot EP, Simion pushes beyond expectations, presenting a record that bridges the subtle precision of his earlier work with a broader, more playful energy. Code Shot sets the tone as the centerpiece of the release—a stripped-down yet funky tech-house driver that immediately locks into the dance floor and refuses to let go. Mikronium digs deeper into hypnotic territory, weaving a mesmerizing groove that evolves steadily, perfect for late-night explorations and long-form DJ sets. Sugar Rush offers a lighter touch, injecting bounce and color into the record. Playful and unexpected, it reveals a different side of Simion while still rooted in his sharp rhythmic sensibilities. Balancing technical mastery with bold creativity, Code Shot EP signals the next chapter in Andu Simion’s artistic evolution. His return to Moods & Grooves not only reconnects him with the label where his journey began but also reaffirms his place in the global minimal and house community.
