Yeah, that SIT release is great. While we're on the subject of good Romanian DJ's, an honorable mention should also go to Vincentiulian and Raresh. You can find more melody, higher tempos and driving, prog-like vibes throughout their sets than most of their counterparts. They've both come through SF this year and kept me hooked on the dancefloor the whole time. I can't say the same about people like Barac or Rhadoo, who have their moments but can't keep me locked.
To your point about this stuff sounding good 30 hours into a party, I think that's kind of the point for a lot of that scene. Most of the 'good' festivals and parties are real non-stop marathons for those who can hack it. I don't party that hard, but I've found myself really enjoying sets that are more drawn out and kind of float along for a while. The caveat is that you've just kinda gotta wade through the boring shit to find the quality DJs. A lot of the Romanian DJ's (even the boring, plod-along ones) have a really big depth of knowledge and versatility when it comes to dance music, and it can really shine through.
