ImiAFan
The Slovak electro and minimal-wave project ImiAFan – aka 4mg Records founder Imrich Végh – has released a digital EP, “Elmúlt idő” (Passed Time), on Bandcamp, with a wider streaming release scheduled for early June. The EP pairs the original title track with a set of remixes.
Alongside the original title track – first issued at the end of 2025 – the EP features remixes by Bornia (Andy Dufter, ex-Staatseinde), Hadron Lundgren (Budapest) and Keen K (Berlin electro/italo), plus a MANASYt “Bigfoot Mix” of the older track “Stupaj.” The lyrics draw on a four-line fragment by Szenes Iván, taken from Kovács Kati’s landmark Hungarian electronic track “Kérdés önmagamhoz” from 1980.
About ImiAFan
ImiAFan is a Slovak electro, synth-pop and minimal-wave project led by Imrich Végh, active since around 1999–2000. The project describes itself as an “electro / synth-pop project producing probably the most microscopic hits based and forgotten in Slovakia.” Long-time collaborator Miki Bernáth (of Damolh33) handles mixing and mastering, while Végh also runs the 4mg Records label.
Side-Line has covered the band on several occasions, including a 2019 “Click Interview” with ImiAFan vs. 4mg Records, in which Végh described himself as “more like a music activist,” and a 2019 report on the project’s 12-inch release via Falco Invernale Records. The project also appeared in Side-Line’s coverage of the Synth Slovakia 2017 compilation.
The new digital EP, “Elmúlt idő” (Passed Time), was self-released via Bandcamp on May 29, 2026.
About 4mg Records
4mg Records is a dedicated non-profit underground music label, founded in 2003 in St. Catharines, Canada, by electronic musician Imrich Végh (aka ImiAFan). The label underwent a major geographic shift when it relocated to Slovakia in 2006. Operating out of Central Europe ever since, the imprint focuses on cultivating a tight-knit international network of underground artists, prioritizing artistic expression and cultural connection over commercial success.
Sonically, the label explores the darker and more experimental corners of electronic music, with a catalog deeply rooted in minimal synth, darkwave, ambient, and industrial sounds. 4mg Records has become a trusted home for both emerging acts and seasoned veterans of the avant-garde scene, featuring releases and collaborations with iconic names like The Legendary Pink Dots, Edward Ka-Spel, Isobutane, and Click Click. Their curated compilation projects, such as the Wave Earplug series, are wellknown for showcasing diverse, global underground talent.
4mg Records bypasses mainstream distribution models to focus heavily on tangible, collectible formats. The label routinely presses music onto high-quality vinyl, cassettes, and limited-edition compact discs.
Some of the band’s best-known releases include:
