Totul a început cu Cuza, sau Qewza. Valentin Toma bântuia prin underground-ul timişorean punând umărul la ridicarea TMBase, sau alte activităţi de gen, "extraşcolare". Eu pe el l-am descoperit via unor mixuri fabulos de diversificate şi de durată, numite Unu Mai Unu. Aveau aerul acela muncitoresc şi tovărăşesc, cu şlagăre vechi, lăutărească, folclorică, combinate cu altele noi, muzică electronică, hip hop, jazz, şi multe alte genuri. Defapt ultimul cuvânt e cam la nelocul lui pentru că Toma spărgea conceptul de gen, spărgea barierele şi punea în mixtape-urile lui orice se putea găsi în fonoteca unui om cu simţuri acustice fine.
După ultimul mix din triada amintită, lansat în 2008, asta în paralel cu munca din cadrul proiectului Makunouchi bento, Vali vine cu un nou concept: Toma Carnagiu. Urmăreşte aceiaşi linie, iar de data asta nu se opreşte la doar un mix pe an, ci "Unu pe lună".

Valentin Toma is Toma Carnagiu
He's alive since 1981, and in love with music ever since. In all this time, he tasted bits of every musical genre that reached his ears, from rock'n'roll to death metal, but the idea of sound design discovered with the electronic music is the one that left a mark. His first musical experiments are dated in 1996, and thanks to Saint Common Sense, were left private: only after 3 years he published a few songs under the moniker Qewza (pronounced as Cuza). This happened right after setting the foundation for the TMBase organization alongside UFO & Ummo, Urban Experience, Dump 52, P-Nal, Sneila and Alien Kru - basically, the full lot of electronic music producers in Timisoara back then. He's put effort into organizng the TMBase festival since 2000 - the 3rd edition - when he also had his first live gig (more or less white, for those who remember).
At the beginning of 2001, he started a new project called Makunouchi Bento with his old time friend Felix Petrescu aka Waka X, a member of Urban Experience at that time - a project based on IDM and experimental electronic music. With his solo act, he only released a few songs on local compilations, while most of the tracks remained unreleased or only heard during live shows. Around 2003, after exploring most of electronic music's subgenres, from happy hardcore and techno to drum'n'bass and breakbeat, he put and end to his solo "career" as a producer, and focused exclusively on Makunouchi Bento, changing the sound towards a more organic, electroacoustic and cinematic one. And they were serious about it, having released no less than 3 albums, 18 EPs, 11 singles and may other compilation tracks. Also, having lots of live gigs in Romania and abroad, live film rescoring and so on. Qewza is probably remembered by music lovers especially for his "Unu mai" (1st of May) mix series (2 in 2006, 2 in 2007, 3 in 2008), putting together hundreds of Romanian songs of all genres, from electronic to hip-hop, jazz, rock and folklore.
And, because this project was worth to be continued, in 2012, Qewza is reborn as Toma Carnagiu (a local pun) to release a new series of mixes on Romania's National Day. No nationalist connotations intended, just a load of humor. On top of that, he plans to promote Romanian music and a general open mindness towards different music genres, through a series of monthly mini-mixes... plus a lot of other surprises.
