DJEF is a breathtaking sonic journey resulting from Sibéri's intimate musical personality. A profoundly personal release that brings us into an innocent and familiar place. Says the artist:

"The EP originated from my natural need to explore my family archives and delve into the past in general. This archive material holds something very unique for me; it is the genuine gold extracted from the raw materials of history.

Upon my grandfather's passing, he left behind a room filled with pictures he had taken, which were stored on Dias to be projected as part of his montages or diashows. These diashows also contained some accompanying sound, which led me to discover a 4-track reel-to-reel tape recorder and playback device. Among the various tapes I found, some were experimental, unfinished projects, while others contained full-fledged recordings of his voice, music, and sound design, carefully put together for one of his 'slideshows.'

Having gathered all this captivating material, I began incorporating it into my own music creation, and something magical happened: my grandpa's voice, his sound design, and the music I was producing harmoniously fused together to become the EP you are about to listen to.

My hope is that this EP will inspire more people to delve deeper into their own selves, to explore personal, family, and community archives, and to extract the precious treasures hidden in the past."

Berlin one-to-watch NOCUI unveils new EP ‘Anomie’ out via Shapeless Culture on March 15th. 

Following the success of singles ‘Pasión’ and ‘Paradiso’, producer and multi-instrumentalist NOCUI presents his new EP ‘Anomie’, a stunning four-tracker filled with headsy beats and the kind of transcendent sonic moments he has become synonymous with. 

A classically trained pianist, Rome native NOCUI brings a sense of true musicianship in his approach to electronic music production. An early love for improvisation permeates his work, expressed in meticulously crafted tracks that combine elements of sound design and orchestration with intricate rhythmic patterns.

The EP’s opening track ‘As Long As It Takes’ comes out the gates strong, setting the tone for the emotive, yearning energy that permeates this EP. Synthy bleeps, off-kilter bends and repetitive vocal stabs take the listener on a cosmic journey through analogue soundscapes with cutting edge flourishes. 

‘Paradiso’ follows with a ‘blissful urgency’ attained through driving deep house aesthetics and a supporting cast of oneiric keys and searchingly melancholic strings weaving amongst a diaphanous choir vocal. A track equally at home as the night builds or as the sun rises, delivering hopeful warmth and etheric vibrance to the clubbing experience. 

On ‘You’re My Strength’ we hit the ground running with a driving 4/4 beat joined by emotive keys and stirring pads which build to a break-down with echoes of Art Of Noise’s haunting ‘Moments In Love’. The vocal ‘you’re my strength, my desire to move forward, I love you’ appears intermittently throughout and truly encapsulates the brooding romantic energy of the track. 

‘Anomie’ closes with ‘Pasión’ where NOCUI showcases his penchant for storytelling across soundscapes and syncopated rhythms. Driving percussion, brooding synths and hypnotic handclaps tease the promise of Mediterranean nights, creating a tension that lures the listener away from the confines of the club and into a state of blissful transcendence.

‘Anomie’ draws on Latin, African and Middle Eastern cultural influences to create a beguiling collection of meticulously crafted club cuts whose seductive power is impossible to resist. A bewitching sonic encounter that clarifies exactly why NOCUI is fast becoming one of Berlin’s most talked about rising stars in 2023.
