DJ/producer Nicolas Bougaïeff, has shared the first track from his new five-track 'EP3', which has just been released on NovaMute. The new track follows the release of 'EP1' and 'EP2' on the label, which won support from artists such as Robert Hood, Charlotte De Witte, Chris Liebing, and Paula Temple, among others.
'EP3' kicks off with 'Zero Kelvin’, a driving cut accompanied by pads and synths that bubble to the surface before ‘Tessellate Desire’s foreboding sonics and scratching textures blend together to culminate in a possible moody warehouse track.
The percussion of ‘Spectral Flow’ is next as acidic synths stumble over its hypnotic groove, followed by ‘Tesseract Jazz’, which contains wonky melodies, and last up is ‘Inner Division’.
EP3 upholds Bougaïeff's experimental approach to electronic dance music and production, featuring his use of polytemporality.
The new EP also follows the release of Lattice 002, a compilation EP of electronic artists featuring Bougaïeff’s track ‘Cobalt’, on producer Max Cooper’s label.
The Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist is an experienced composer whose decades-long love of club music and his PhD in minimal techno reflect his desire to challenge convention.
Outside of his releases, he co-founded the software company Liine in 2010 which engineered the Lemur music app that astronaut Alexander Gerst played on the International Space Station. More recently, Bougaïeff founded the Berlin Academy of Electronic Music and has recently been hosting a series of tutorials on TikTok and Instagram, demystifying techniques such as pivot mixing.
