NIR Chapter #16 MUFTI

First full-length material, which compiles 11 tracks produced in the second half of 2022 and will be released through his own label Veneno.

Within this LP, Umvral, dives and explores different genres and currents, resulting in tracks for all occasions.
Going back to his first influences of downtempo, indie dance accompanied by techno and ebm tendencies, going through the rhythm of Lo-Fi house, to finally reach breakbeat and trance, with a very homemade and acid touch.

Umvral has always been characterized by not being pigeonholed in a single current, always looking to combine rhythms and influences he has collected over the years, to provide a very own version of what currently sounds on the dance floor.

Alek Lee - The Back Door (Original Mix)

Nothing Is Real welcome Low Manuel for the 6th release of the label. 

Low Manuel is a real music lover born in Italy in the 90’s.  His music vision is the expression of his character, introspective, dark and sophisticated.
His style is a mixture of indie electronic but also Techno and his compositions transmit emotions, influenced by the Stars and the Marine World. The 'Scourge Ep' explores new musical shades, hinting at moments of new wave through a lens of psychedelia.
The title track is a trip with an incredibly catchy rhythmic pattern and a strong bassline, while 'The Room’ has a ravey hypnotic and powerful touch.
The Italian duo Margot remix ’The Scourge’ delivering a strong version with their typical synth-driven kraut-techno style adding insane beats, fizzing synths and peaking chords for optimal dancefloor effect. While Nhar gives us his unique and introspective reinterpretation giving the track a mesmerizing deep electronic vibe, taking us to a journey between the bright and dark sides.

Another strong release on Nothing Is Real

Low Manuel - The Scourge (Original Mix)

Nothing Is Real celebrates its second year with a special compilation that includes seven unreleased tracks by producers who have collaborated with the label and really interesting up and coming artists.
Alberto Iovine and Alessandro Fumagalli aka Modular Project have personally taken care carefully of the selection, selecting carefully every single track. 2018 was an important year for their artistic growth and their career. They made their debut on Rebirth with the anthemic track ‘Leaving’ remixed by Acid Pauli and Kasper Bjørke, and Nothing Is Real is slowly gaining such an high reputation in the international electronic music scene. 

The opening track is Modular Project's tribute to their label, which rapresents their sound, a mix of 80’s New Wave, indie electronic and techno with powerful drums, driving synths for an emotional impact.
The compilation also feature productions by Eleonora, Alejandro Mosso, Low Manuel, The Mansisters (Kasper Bjørke and Sexy Lazer), Local Suicide and Dharma !

An essential package for your collection !

a near and dear delightful excited mess:

in uni three of us banded together to form a trifecta of friendship, turmoil, love, weed, and music. we decided to finally make something together and what resulted was fluid, gorgeous, fun, and buzzy. it might not fit on much coming up but it is something i love. with Showie https://soundcloud.com/templejin(
