[ Passages ] is the third compilation by London based DJ, promoter and music journalist Massimo Terranova aka Nova. Following in the footsteps of his previous releases, [ Albedo ] in 2005 and Imaginary Friends in 2009, Nova presents a brand new mix of emo-ambient and electronica to evoke today’s dichotomy in relationships and rites of passage.

Gathering emerging artists and seasoned talents in the realms of pulsating minimal dubs, atmospherica, and downtempo, [ Passages ] offers a rich palette of serial music and soundscapes depicting the London’s urban skyline and a life of mono/poly-chromatic contrasts.

Nova delivers an elegant musical story wrapped in Italian art & fashion photographer Giovanni Calemma’s modish black and white illustrations and featuring James Murray, Fingers in the Noise, Cygna, Brando Lupi, Miktek, Murya, Martin Nonstatic, Lars Leonhard, AES Dana, Connect.Ohm, Max Million and Zinovia.

Experimental dark psy. Tribal & Ambient 🌌
The cozy side of core 💫


"neurotica" comes from one of the first psychoanalytic discoveries, when research oscillated between trauma, fantasy and reality.

A contemporary vision of the "neurotica" theory which tends towards the sharing of obscure and introspective sounds, offering a journey to the heart of the darkest parts of the soul, always destined to bounce back towards the light.

Through psychedelic and experimental music (darkpsy, psycore, or even ambient, tribal), imagine chimerical journeys implying the idea of a long-term work for the human being becoming.
