nsu is Ivan Vuković: Producer and live electronic act, hailing from Novi Sad (Serbia), whose story as a musician begins in Auckland, New Zealand.

In late 2009, after years of running his own radio show on UP FM and a number of demos and collaborations, he began to release his own music independently through his small imprint, newclearmusic.com, most notably the "Escape" EP. What followed was a stack of releases and live gigs, and even a groundbreaking music video for "Panic Bells", collaborating with the talented video director and producer Aleksandar Janev.

His approach as an artist has been to methodically pull elements out of genres as diverse as breakbeat, ambient, acid house, dubstep, reggae and techno, and mould them into his own concepts, resulting in a sound that can only be described in broad terms as electronic. Yet his tastes and influences go far beyond the 'bleeps', 'wobbles' and 'oonsts' of dance music. He doesn't believe in the "current sound" - he is more interested in what can be perceived as "timeless"...

In early 2011, nsu moved back to Serbia to start a new life; the same year, he pioneered his largest collaborative project to date - a downbeat/chill-out/ambient concept remix album, entitled "Rescapé". A year later, he joined the Audio Colours crew in Novi Sad, and began to pick up on new influences for his sound, culminating in the 2015 EP "Resurrection".

Sharkweek is the brainchild and solo-project of Dunedin, New Zealand, artist and musician Peter Lewis.

Debut album "The Hammerhead Nebula" was released in 2006 to positive praise:

"Layers of keyboard wash form convection currents through which primitive drum machine rhythms clatter. Spoken vocal snippets introduce galaxial and other themes while a prowling keyboard bass glues things together. Sharkweek pulls back from the brink of chaotic overload to simmer with a repressed mania and the effect is serotonin re-uptake inhibition."

In 2008 the second album, "Egyptian Lions" was released, offering similarly lush soundscapes punctuated with surreal samples, playful melodies and manipulated found sounds. The musical themes drift between ambient, pop and dub. The songs are sometimes dreamy, sometimes deliriously playful. There's obvious evidence of Lewis' musical growth, yet it's also familiar enough to be unmistakeably 'Sharkweek'.

"A mystical journey through lands afar ... trippy soundscapes, psychedelic ambient dub, futuristic space adventures and glitchy electro pop .. an ear orgasm of sounds that twist and turn evolving into a collection of songs that is intriguing, beautiful and a dose of epic electro trippiness. It has an otherworldly feel, yet is warm and inviting, like friendly aliens .. it's a trek into the deep dark unknown."

"Sharkweek creates worlds within which any number of stories may be told. Listening to the tracks on this album will educate the senses and reorient one’s views to the vast possibilities the ambient mode can bring."

2010 sees the release of the new remix collection "Gimme Gimme Shark Treatment". Ranging from progressive trance to ambient soundscapes both light and dark, from psychedelic lounge music to weirdo funky hip hop, this album has something for everyone.

"Sharkweek's first official collection of remixes for other artists will satisfy and surprise at the same time, With this collection, he takes on 7 diverse original pieces, dissects them, and puts them back together but not before applying his very own signature "Shark treatment" touch. There's hints of the familiar ambient and psychedelic sound-scapes in "Part Of Me" and "Far From Comfort" while on the other end of the scale, "Wii Break" is a serious full-on dance-floor assault. "Harmonia" is one of the standouts here - this gradually ascending journey of over 11 minutes starts out as deep, moody and intoxicated, but by the end is nothing but uplifting. Highly recommended listening from one of Dunedin's finest."

Spheres of inspiration include outer space, all manner of pop culture, and infomercials. Musical influence comes from varied sources such as The Orb, Future Sound Of London, Orbital, Boards Of Canada, Lemon Jelly, Astralasia, Banco de Gaia, and New Zealand luminaries like Module and Pitch Black. This eclectic mix, coupled with some stellar guest appearances from other musicians makes for an evocative and sometimes surprising listening experience.
