Following on from this year’s Enma, shadowy producer Nomine‘s latest 12″ for Tempa gathers three more of his hypnotic sound system tracks, brimming with fragmentary melodies and subliminal detail, honed for immersion on the dancefloor. Drawing upon his love of dubstep, dub and experimental music, Nomine’s tracks carve out vast spaces for mind and body to wander through. Lead track ‘Nomine’s Chant‘ is his most meditative transmission to date; its vocal mantra drifts gracefully through open space, coasting through a landscape pockmarked with sub-bass pulses and clouds of reverb. 

The bamboo flutes of peak-time roller ‘Ninjah‘ echo eerily outwards into the void. These brief hints of calm heighten the tension, before earthquake rumbles of percussion and warping bass explode into life, dragging the floor along with them. The EP is rounded out with ‘Syncopator‘, a deftly swung club track that finds Nomine dropping the pace to find an atmospheric mid-point between two-step and techno. Opening up that extra space within the groove paradoxically ups the energy, making for one of his sleekest and most compulsive tracks to date.
