Mystery EP by NUAGE

Armenian-based artist Nuage brings his rich, synth-laced sound to Sasha's Last Night On Earth. All four cuts are packed with innovative vocal treatments and unusual slants on house, garage and techno rhythms.

Nuage has been producing music for over a decade now, originally in the drum & bass world, but has since morphed into electronic sounds that draw on garage, deep house, techno, breakbeats and more. He has released adventurous full lengths that range from the club-ready to the more mellow and are full of vocal and harmonic piano interludes and orchestral samples. He can express a full spectrum of emotion in his work on labels like Anjunadeep, 20/20 Vision and This Never Happened, with his releases consistently clocking up millions of streams and regular plays on BBC Radio 1. Now, he joins Sasha’s Last Night on Earth label for a brand new 4 track EP.

Opener 'Mystery' pairs liquid, bubbling synth sounds with strident drums and tender vocal coos to make for a sensuous dance floor trip. Vocal treatments and unusual synth sounds all colour a breakdown before a brilliantly original groove kicks off. This one sounds like nothing else and is sure to become anthemic. 'Revival' keeps it deep with widescreen pads and a sense of cosmic voyage. Glistening synth modulations, underlapping drum funk and more superbly fresh vocals all bring the track to life with a sense of warming optimism. The wonderful 'Appearing' sweeps you off your feet with a nebulous blend of pulsing synths and angelic harmonics that are playful, innocent and escapist. Last but not least, 'Disappearing' starts as a weightless, skeletal rhythm before turning into a future garage banger with soft-focus synth daubs darting about the mix to psychedelic effect.

Sasha’s imprint is in its ninth year and to date has succeeded in being a key platform for fresh, inspiring talent, incl BAILE, John Monkman and VONDA7, along with showcasing well respected figures such as Maribou State, Max Cooper, Ejeca and more. The label has also released remixes from esteemed figures such as Nicole Moudaber and Radio Slave, along with Sasha’s own originals and reworks.
