Alaska-based electronic artist Austin Williams, aka Nu Partial, announces his digital-only sophomore EP with Renraku, RRRRECEPTION. Scheduled to release worldwide April 2nd, the 24-minute experimental bass ride powers through submerged frequency manipulation and dynamic sound collages. Centered through the ethos of dance music, Nu Partial tethers each track into an avant-garde journey where dream-like lucid states and subconscious explorations are front and center. 


A bulk of RRRRECEPTION was created while Nu Partial resided in Mississippi, developing the final aspects of the EP after relocating to Alaska in support of his mother during a surgery. “I don't care if I live in Anchorage for another 20 years,” Nu Partial adds. “I will never get over the view. Maybe subconsciously it affects my production.” Two distinct worlds in environment and culture, the music is somehow streamlined through this recording process, behaving as creative travel for Nu Partial that stretched beyond each location’s pulse of life. Vision dictating path over immediate circumference of scene. 


Much like his debut EP, The Maw, Nu Partial’s RRRRECEPTION pulls from the ever-flowing well of life known as bass music. Elements push towards the experimental, built on a coalescence that snaps back and forth like a pinball, stitching together pieces of garage/2step, glitch, noise, downtempo, drum-n-bass, hip-hop, and lo-fi. RRRRECEPTION was made on FL Studio 20, with VSTs including Serum, UHE, and Kilohearts. The album cover was designed by Viktor Kadic, most notable for producing futuristic digital art for Mat Zo and his Mad Zoo imprint.

"Depths of Winter is a 7 track electronica/glitch record which reflects on a period of immense musical experimentation as well as personal hardship. Written during my first few months of living in the UK, isolated living and social situations and an irregular sleeping schedule set a backdrop for these tracks.

Sounds from the record were extensively mangled and over-processed from digital or sampled sources, forming cold and inhuman soundscapes. However, the process of writing these tracks were a process of changing perspectives, and synthesizing a method of composition that was mostly abstract. The highly derived conventions of electronic and dance music were torn down and reshaped in favor of chaotic bursts of sound strung together with pieces of dance music familiarity.

In the end, the music and visuals aim to subdue the intense emotional expressions of writing music in my headspace at the time, and leave an understated platform from which listeners can derive their own meaning.
Much time was spent with graphic designers Integra & Major on creating the aesthetic of the record, drawing from my personal taste of abstract digital art and the others' background in nostalgic-digital design.

It has been a rewarding collaborative process getting this record out to the world and we hope you enjoy it."
