b0g – rumunský boh mashupu

Produkovanie mashupov v Rumunsku je osamelá aktivita, pretože tam žiadna mashupova scéna neexistuje. Jediný producent mashupov bol Matze z projektu NSK, ktorý neskor založil Shukar Collective.

Bogdan Marcu začal produkovať mashupy v očarení, keď sa s touto hudbou stretol prvý krát. Odvtedy neprestal a na jeho soundcloud profile pribúdajú nové tracky s rekordnou rýchlosťou. Podľa Bogdana je to prirodzené, keďže podľa jeho vlastných slov „sedí na veľkom kopci plnom zlata“.

Názov b0g, vznikol keď si Bogdan uvedomil, že aj jednoduchá zmena samplu je aktom stvorenia. Jeho neskoršie meno, Bogardo's way, je homage rumunskému pesničkárovi Florinovi Bogardovi.

The romanian mash-up artist Bogdan Marcu goes under the name of b0g. His sonic “plunderphonic mutants” are not only an exercise in mixing seemingly disparate sources into one bass-heavy and dirty piece of lo-fi booty electronica, but most often also conceptual pieces reflecting and reinterpreting romanian culture, history and politics.

Producing mashups in Romania is a solitary activity, as there is no real scene, and the only mashup producer was Matze from NSK, who later founded the Shukar Collective.

Bogdan started to make mashups after being enchanted by some mashups he heard. Since then he didnt stop and his soundcloud page is full of tracks that are being added with record speed. According to Bogdan its normal, since he is sitting on a big hill full of gold.

The name b0g, which signifies god, comes from Bogdan's realisation that modifiyng a sample is an act of creation. The later name of his project, Bogardo's way is a homage to the Romanian songwriter Florin Bogardo.
