Nocow - 3 new EPs: Vozduh, Voda, Zemlya

Vozduh (air) marks the first EP in a trilogy by Nocow for Figure, showcasing his emerging signature-style of Electronica-tinged techno. Drawing inspiration from the sheer endless winters of St. Petersburg, his series builds on classic IDM tropes, imbuing them with a noticeably Russian and deeply personal sensitivity. As each part of the trilogy is represented by an element, the tracks on Vozduh are vaporous by nature: from the crackling ambiance of opener Bouis to the weightless vocals on stoic Forgiven, as well as a surprisingly introspective take on ghetto-house or the wafting melodies closing out the record‘s B-side – all forms seem to be in constant shift, casting a dense yet permeable body of sound. 

Voda by Nocow

Voda (water) the second part of his trilogy sees Aleksei Nikitin delving deep into Baltic seas. coming up again with chilled flows of acid on Vdaleke, the bubbly yet driving thump of subaqueous Placeholder; then he goes diving even further on the flip, cruising through underwater caves filled with tentacles of twisted, seductive electro, gnarly acid-techno, before finally emerging in Iskatel, ears still ringing with harmonies of shredded beauty.

Zemlya by Nocow

Zemlya (earth), the final installment of Nocow‘s three-part EP-series for Figure unearths the artist‘s maybe most drastic work to date. While opener Libbi still sprouts gently into crystalline arteries of ambiance, the incessant arps of Synchronicity loom ominously. Equally challenging, yet offering conciliation in form of string-led soothing is Rave Button, after which the record finds closure in the seemingly open-ended sound spiral of Troubles Will Be Miles Away.

Natasha Bai, NOCOW - BER-IST-MOW

A collaboration spanning across Russia's two cultural hubs, Moscow's underground mainstay Natasha Bai collaborates with St. Petersburg's Aleksei Nikitin of NOCOW to provide listeners with the pumping house number, "BER-IST-MOW". Taking its name from the IATA airport codes for Berlin, Istanbul, and Moscow, it's a track which details the impermanence of habitation. Exacerbated by geopolitics and the nomadic life of music creation, the track has an air of escapism. Channeling the softer, Balearic tones of beachy pastels against the narration of pitch-bent vocal frequencies and the cold, industrial floor of its rigid beats, "BER-IST-MOW" lives in the moment of its euphoric being.
