Exodus delves into the odyssey of the Dove family as they journey from Bryan, Texas to the vibrant landscapes of Los Angeles in the 1960s. In Nexcyia’s quest to
encapsulate the dystopian surrealism of the Dove family's journey, he aims to harnesse the power of sound as a potent tool of storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the
decaying landscapes and moving atmospheres that surrounded them, he crafted a sonic tapestry that transcended traditional music composition, immersing listeners
in a visceral experience of their journey.
Nexcyia's approach to sound design is meticulous and reflective, as he seeks to manipulate and distort familiar elements into something altogether otherworldly. He
samples the haunting echoes of lost voices weaving them into the fabric of his compositions to evoke the desolation and decay of the world around them. The subtle
but metallic clang of rusted objects are granulized, while the distant hum of malfunctioning electronics formed a dissonant melody that lingered in the subconscious
like a half-remembered dreams.
Nexcyia seeks to infuse his compositions with a sense of hope and resilience, drawing on the indomitable spirit of the Dove family as they navigated through the
dystopian wasteland. Amidst the cacophony of chaos and despair, he introduces moments of ethereal beauty, incorporating haunting melodies and soaring harmonies
that pierced through the darkness like shafts of light breaking through storm clouds.
Through sound, Nexcyia transformed the Dove family's odyssey into an immersive auditory experience, blurring the lines between music and storytelling. Each
composition is a journey in itself, an afro-sonic tapestry that can transport listeners into the heart of a multiverse. And in doing so, he not only captures the essence of
their journey but also invited listeners to embark on their own odyssey of discovery and transformation.
"My heart and soul. I wouldn't exist if he didn't move his family to LA in the 60's" - Derrick Dove
"You are so beautiful and precious to your grandpa, I thinks about you all the time, because I love you so much, and so happy to hear from you; You just
make me happy with joy, joy joy, stay safe and remember grandpa love you all the time" - Grandpa to Alexa
"Thank you Adam, I'm so happy to hear from you, you mean the world to your grandpa, so proud of you, and that you for your love, because your grandpa
just love you and wishing you the best, please stay safe and in touch" - Grandpa to Adam
“Me, Clyde, Raymond, Reggie, Oscar-Raymond and Darline. In Bryan — i think I’m about 5 there. It was Reggie’s birthday party. Darline and Oscar-
Raymond were siblings and the children of my dad’s oldest brother Oscar. Reggie is the son of my dad’s big sister. – Mom to Adam
Dedicated to Clyde Dove and Nat Dove

All things are in perpetual motion and at the centre of this flux is self-discovery. ‘Dreaming Of Us While Slowly Catching Fire In a Place I Never Belonged’ is an introspective portrait of NVST, a multi-talented Swiss DJ and producer making her Maloca Records debut.

The 7-piece opens up a space for reflection on raw emotions and identity, making the most of the traits of sonic experimentation that mark NVST's sound. The LP is a slow-burning-lucid-dream into a searing transformation: an obscure fire that consumes but illuminates, transforms while discovering itself.

Samples and vocal manipulations become instruments of narration, weaving fragments of memories and feelings into a sound texture that feels both personal and collective.

NVST distills the chaos of transformation into rich, layered soundscapes: ethereal, echo-laden vocals - often manipulated through pedals and embedded in haunting dialogues - clothe the compositions with an otherworldly texture. An echo that responds to itself in an intimate dialogue.
The impulsive, distorted and spatialised bass pulses beneath each track, creating a constant tension between breathlessness and breathing, becoming a feature that crosses genres.

Frantic drum machines, samples and sharp glitches move unfiltered, creating a dynamic that reflects the emotional complexity of the album.
