Vivid, lifelike sound imaging and innovative polyrhythms. Rhythmic rests and pulsing low end are deployed to push rhythm science forward! A hotly anticipated new EP from Italian rhythm craftsman NICOLÒ, who has delivered gems on experimental electronic dance outposts like 〈ANNO〉 and 〈BAROQUE SUNBURST〉. This is the momentous first release on his own label 〈EXPLORING RECORDS〉.
NICOLÒ, whose debut drew attention for a remix by YPY (Hino), has launched a label and dropped a new single! It hits hard right out of the gate with "Nightshift" (sample1), a rhythmic experiment of irregular polyrhythms driven by powerhouse tribal percussion and laced with trippy synth shots. Elsewhere there's "Static" (sample2), a half-time exploration with a uniquely designed, richly swelling melodic bass, and "Tu Mente" (sample3), a hallucinatory mutant drum & bass cut. Steering low-pressure vibrations and deep synthesis, he shows us what lies beyond rhythm science. Recommended!
