Passions are primitive drives interwoven within human nature. Insticts that humans try to restrain and channel properly, so that they comply with personal and social morals. Whether due to mental/ emotional instability or just lust, quite often, orientation is lost and the conflict between passions and principles is inevitable. Upon the realization of the deviation, it's up to one's will and probably, strength whether it will be all downhill from there or a path to self-understanding and improvement. Actions cannot be undone but we are the ones to decide whether they define us or not.

This is the background story of this work.

Artist: Nice Guise
Title: 'Grand Froid'
Label: ESITU Records
Cat. #: ESITUK07
Format: Cassette & Digital
Release: 26th October, 2023
Pre order: https://esiturecords.bandcamp.com/album/candid-shots

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Nice Guise' gem on 'ESITU Records'.
In the uninspiring corners of open-space offices, and administrative work, some employees find a space for resistance and creativity through subversion and sabotage, against the anger generated by the neutral and cruel absurdity of the corporate environment.

In this compilation, Nice Guise engages with transpersonal subjects such as mental health, frustration, work place abuse and sexuality. For the past two years, while touring through Brussels with their abrupt live performance, Nice Guise has been fostering collective experiences where repressed personal emotions get to be shared on the dancefloor.

Nice Guise crystallizes their ongoing activity with the collection Candid shots. 
Like an aggregate in the orbs of the post-punk movement and the remnants of the Dada avant-garde, the band presents studio sessions, concert recordings, and sonic residues on the same level, thus making poor material their inspiration.

J-RHYTHM 
His first contacts with dishes were in the year 2000,
influenced by leading artists of the time such as Cristian Varela, Oscar Mulero, Ben Sims, Oliver Ho or Dylan Drazen from whom he learned by investing hours at the foot of the booth in those events in which he managed to be in front of her, he has more than 20 years of experience within the electronic scene, its oldest used labels to highlight are Tsunami, Warm up, Hardgroove, Meta, R&S, Blueprint among others, supporting and consuming music from more current labels and friends such as BSC Records, Hardtools, Ottar, Inducted waves, Mord or Genesa in the more industrial variant.
Linked to the underground scene in the southern area of ​​Madrid, he participates in multiple events with artists from his city in disciplines such as Techno, Hard Techno and other more experimental profiles, and it is common to find him at different private parties, clubs, gatherings, social events and collaborations for radio stations in your area, or on the Internet, spaces such as studios or stores where you collaborate in DJ set format on different online channels.
In past times, he also develops his skills in styles such as Deep Techno, Deep House or Tech House in Nightclubs in his area where for some time, he acquires a monthly residency or is eventually hired but always and as a rule, using those tracks in his suitcase. with a more Groovera trend away from the commercial.

From 2006 to the present, he delves into the musical study of percussion, music theory, audio chain, technique and production, attending different courses organized by art and culture associations in Madrid. He applies this new knowledge in works and productions that never see the light of day, but he does show it in his work as a DJ when mixing.
Starting in 2010, he investigated more automated reproduction methods such as controllers and digital mixing systems, as well as the different most current software, or systems such as time code vinyl, and began to make his own chains of parties such as the ' `ANALOG´´o are now the S.A.P Techno club, and some other associated projects that lasted less time.
To date and for some time now, their sets have always incorporated a third deck, with vinyl being their preferred format to give it a little more dynamism and go even deeper into the control of the beat and the art of mixing, without losing that groove tendency that characterizes him.

Label: IOR
Ep: Ceridwen 
Catalog number: IOR 012
Release Date: 22/12/23

04 - Roi - Morvran 

Fanzine Records expands in the time-space continuum with the launch of IOR, a sub-label that showcases Roi's most personal vision of his Techno universe: categorical, expansive, with gigantic basses and propulsive rhythms. IOR emerges as a sub-outlet for the increasingly prolific production of Coruña’s native artist.
IOR spreads around dualities: past-future, avant-garde and tradition, inspiration in the homeland (‘Magical Galician’, its myths and legends, misty and humid forests...), and at the same time in the dystopian abstraction of Techno, the confused present and the uncertain future.
The forthcoming EPs will be linked to different characters from Galician history and mythology, as with this eleventh release, 'Ceridwen'. This dualistic vision of past-future is one of the germinal signs of IOR, where Roi's hefty, opaque and point-blank Techno merges hand by hand with mythological and magical chapters from a remote place at the end
of the Earth.
