collective podcast 19 : nuir

First rising to global acclaim in the latter half of the dubstep era with 'Ruins Tape', veteran St. Petersburg producer Nocow has fluidly moved across styles in the years since. Moving in a new direction from 2017s 'Ledyanoy Album', which saw the producer channel 90s ambient techno/IDM for GOST ZVUK, these 17 new tracks, and collaborations for the label instead hone in on a vocal-heavy type of ghostly R&B. As an album, Odinocow carries hints of trance, house and polished electronica ('Blizhe') as well as raw broken beat hybrids ('Dengi Ne Sgorayut'), though the primary unifying factor is the voice.

The heavy use of autotune, downtempo arrangements and wistful, machine-distorted human emotion are referenced in the album's title, which translates roughly to lonely Nocow. Whilst past albums have oscillated between steady dance structures and more wildly experimental arrangements, there is a recurring theme of simplicity at play here. Nocow aims to craft memorable songs by harmonising over contrasting ambient soundscapes, from glacial to warm, through to trap/rnb and 4x4 dance-pop.

With such an emphasis on exploring his voice and his songwriting craft, Nocow injects a new level of soul and integrity to his already well-established productions. Odinocow is a departure from his past work in some ways, though is also an example of a musician striving to reflect their truest vision of the self. "By finding yourself, you become able to love yourself, and, as a result, the world. So the album is really about love."

Listen to "All My Ambient (Love Mix) " by DJ HeadSick taken from “New Life” out on 2nd August via @mestnost-records

Dj HeadSick is a musician Kolya Dolgov, a member of projects "Payta" and "Prodelki Bolnoy Golovy". His new album New Life is a formatted and pressed cube of great lot of experiences, memories, pain, and placidity. But it's beautiful because only poets can simply make any picture pause and contemplate on any moment, no matter what it’s like.

"It doesn't matter why something changes in life – what's important is finding the strength to accept any outcome, both good and bad," says Kolya.

The album New Life is about life, big changes, relationships, and about different places, of course. It covers wide geography – being born in Murmansk, spending childhood in Sevastopol, studying in Krasnodar and then moving to Moscow due to a glowing interest in music and its language.

"This album is packed with light and hope, pain and offences, and immense love," says the author. Listening to the album is like reading Tolstoy's "Childhood," but it's all about Kolya. Here he is watching the cartoon "Kotenok po imeni Gav", here he is falling in love, here he is listening to jungle music for the first time, here he is losing his life's foundations and finding them again in deep broken beats. 

"Maybe there's too much poetry in my words, but that's just my truth as it is"
 The rest about Kolya will be told by his melodies and rhythms.
