Nuage emerges with a tantalising collection of 2-step tear-jerkers on his latest album 'Gradient' releasing via Microfunk Music on September 19th.

For over a decade, Nuage has built a reputation as one of electronic music’s most emotive voices, with celebrated releases on Project Mooncircle, Anjunadeep, 20/20 Vision, and Phonica Records, and regular radio support from BBC Radio 1. Following the vibrant Music of Branches (Absys, 2013), the lushly introspective Prints of You (Translation, 2014), and the genre-bending WILD (Project Mooncircle, 2017), Gradient marks a natural next step, refining his signature blend of moody synths, floating melodies, and broken 2-step rhythms into something intimate, ethereal, and timeless.

Each track on Gradient feels like a precious gem, balancing restraint and atmosphere with a subtle pull toward the dancefloor. UKG-inspired grooves set the foundation for much of the record, carrying Nuage’s trademark weightless touch. “Pausepoint” stands out as a highlight, where Nuage teams up with Microfunk Music label head Bop to push the tempo into drum & bass territory, providing a dynamic counterpoint to the album’s meditative flow. The surrounding tracks lean into hazy textures and shimmering percussion that unfold like half-remembered dreams.

Over the years, Nuage has become known for crafting electronic music that feels as personal as it is expansive, soundtracks for both solitary reflection and communal release. Gradient distills that duality, offering a record that is as much about listening as it is about movement, carried by a rare sensitivity to atmosphere and rhythm.

Nuage - Gradient LP (MICROFUNK011)

Regular collaborators Eschaton & Parallel are back with a re-released and extended addition of their 2010 debut LP. As well as the original tracks, they have included a selection of tracks previously only seen on Digibeat and Advection to create a 20 track Opus. This first meeting of minds was a collage of two different sounds that meet in the middle, somewhere between dusk and dawn. The title originally reflected the fact that while working on this LP it was always morning for one of the artists and the evening for the other, a theme that worked it’s way into the individual tracks as the ethereal ambience and fractured rhythms began to evoke a sense of connection with the ‘other’, the deeper side of existence that mankind ponders as day becomes night and night becomes day.

Nuage returns to Microfunk with his new album Gradient, crafted over eighteen months of stillness and inspiration in Armenia. The record moves across micro-detailed rhythms and reflective passages, with fragmented vocals and crystalline synths tracing a luminous, submersive journey. The result is precise, lush, and kinetic - unmistakably Nuage.

Nuage - Green Light

Newcomer Spectrum is back with his 2nd EP for Omni Music. This time he changes his style to the deep futuristic atmospheric vibes, perfect for 23rd Century flights through the cosmos. The title track starts the EP with technoid beats, detroit-esque bass, celestial strings and twinkling keys. The Truth Beneath takes the listener deeper into the cosmos with hypnotic beats, bass and stellar synths that build as the beauty progresses. Fugitive envelopes the listener with more space-age synths and galactic keys as it gently rolls the beats over them as Spectrum leaves the solar system. He saves the best for last with Always and Forever, a vibrant flow of bouncing beats, dynamic keys, blissful pads and gentle harmonics. Watch this space for Spectrum's debut LP coming very soon.

The Untouchables  - Lost Knowledge [SMDELP16]
3xLP/Digital
Marbled LP Edition Limited to 100
https://theuntouchables.bandcamp.com/album/lost-knowledge

Four years on from their landmark Grassroots, visionary half-time heavyweights The Untouchables return with their third album, Lost Knowledge. The duo of Kate McGill and Ajit ‘Nitrox’ Steyns have carved out a space in modern D&B all their own, building on a legacy that reaches back to the late 00s to keep pushing into unexplored terrain with an assured and deadly line in rhythmic intrigue and atmospheric immersion. 
 
Lost Knowledge launches into action instantly with the high-pressure drum science and dubby splashes of ‘Drunken Bells’, capturing the loopy techno propulsion and rolling intensity that drives so much of the output on Samurai Music. Where The Untouchables excel is in finding variety and nuance in their relatively forbidding, pared down sound.  

Nothing happens by accident or feels out of place — McGill and Steyns are in total control, and they demonstrate incredible range and inventive approaches within their focused style. The accent of the grooves shifts, and individual sounds carry all kinds of artefacts, yet everything gets folded into the exacting Untouchables sound with a liberal dubwise sensibility. Brimming with inspiration and immaculately produced, on Lost Knowledge their one-of-a-kind sound is stronger than ever.

The Untouchables - Drunken Bells [SMDELP16]

“Nébula is a downtempo–psybient journey inspired by the nebulae captured by space telescopes. With atmospheric textures, ethereal layers, and a meditative rhythm, it evokes the calm of the cosmos and the smallness of human existence within the vast universe. Perfect for ambient, space music, or meditation playlists. For fans of Carbon Based Lifeforms, Solar Fields, and Asura.”
