The story of DJ Vasile starts before the 90s, when he was an avid music collector. Then, right in the early '90s, he had the chance to join a friend in a show on a newly set up radio station, Radio Romania Tineret. Back then, music was extremely limited.
Then in 1992, he joined Radio Nova, a private, non-state radio, where he got his hands on records from all over the world. In ’98, he unleashed Zona Libera on Pro FM—basically the mixtape your cool uncle wishes he’d made, and by 2004 he’d smuggled the show over to Radio Guerrilla, keeping the weekly party going until the station waved the white flag in 2013.
All while moonlighting as a DJ who could make a statue boogie. What started as a radio DJ gig slowly, but surely, (and not really that slowly) turned into a club DJ career. He was involved in projects like Sukar Collective and Natural Soft Killers (NSC). From roadie to radio DJ to party DJ, musical projects – he’ve lived it all. Even before the '90s, he was a roadie. Still experimenting and reinventing himself, every step in this domain felt like a journey, “even though it’s not as wide as some might think”, as he puts it.
Vasile treats genres like Lego bricks—snaps ’em together, adds a wink, and suddenly you’re dancing to irony. He’s always been passionate about the UK live DJ scene, so for him, the biggest influence wasn’t German electronic music, not even US electronic styles. It was something deeper – the fusion of sound, culture, and live energy.
After 25 years of sonic mischief, DJ Vasile still drops sets that feel like a prank call from the universe: daring, surprising, and zero chill. He’s the voice in your headphones that says, “Rules? Cute.”
