Metropolis - Wellengang - De Stijl (DS-05)

pre-order: https://www.delsinrecords.com/release/7849/metropolis/no-reason
(digital) artefakt.bandcamp.com/album/no-reason-ep

Artefakt's De Stijl imprint presents a new EP by Metropolis. Metropolis, an alias of Nick Lapien—half of Artefakt—had a short strain of releases via labels such as Pinkman, Other Heights, BLIQ and Photic Fields starting 10 years ago. With his No Reason EP he reboots this guise and presents an unpolished and rough take of his wide techno repertoire. The A-Side includes two smokey warehouse-proof acidic techno jams, where title track No Reason on the B-Side leans more towards an off-beat EBM affair with vocals by Thuraya Shi. To round it off, Artefakt production partner Robin Koek delivers an immersive remix as Cyspe.

Tracklist:
A1. Wellengang
A2. Provokation – Lebensstoff der Gesellschaft
B1. No Reason (Ft. Thuraya Shi)
B2. No Reason (Cyspe Remix)

Mastering: Marco Spaventi
Photography: Nick Lapien
Design: Lizzy Onck

All music is written by Nick Lapien 
Additional vocals by Thuraya Shi

Metropolis - Provokation—Lebensstoff der Gesellschaft [DS05]

Hailing from the Netherlands and now based in Berlin, Nick Lapien (@lapien) is a DJ and producer whose sounds encapsulate delicate and detailed grooves, combined with an unwavering understanding of what makes dance floors oscillate. Perhaps best known as one half of Artefakt (@artefakt-official) alongside @cyspe (aka Robin Koek), Lapien has also enjoyed a prolific solo career, with releases on labels such as Fred P’s @soul-people-music, DVS1 ’s Mistress Records and Radio Slave’s @rekids. Although recent years have seen him focus mostly on his work with Artefakt, early 2019 saw a return to solo form for him with a stunning debut EP on cult Moroccan label Tikita (@tikitarec).

Lapien's Patterns of Perception 53 is a rhythmic excursion that journeys between deep, percussive grooves and mind expanding house-oriented reflections, both punctuated and anchored by the understated energy and momentum that he calls his own.

Patterns of Perception 53 - Lapien

nicklapien@gmail.com


This alter-ego, inspired by the 1927’ cultfilm, gives his idea of how the city would look like if it was created out of musical waves. Neo-electronic, mechanical, raw and as dark as a film noir
