The journey continues for Nuage as the Russian beatsmith proudly unveils his superb debut EP on the coveted Microfunk Music. A sophisticated bouquet of audible delight from across the electronic spectrum, the ‘Romantic OD’ EP is a 5-piece wonder showcasing Nuage at his very best. Featuring the Microfunk commander-in-chief Bop, expect a world of ambient-jungle crossed with lo-fi electronica with sprinklings of everything in-between.
The adventure begins with an ‘Undercover’ excerpt from Nuage. Guided by tribal breaks and an enchanting atmosphere, the composition unravels beautifully with a hypnotic vocal emerging before a blanket of melancholy enshrouds the track as it fades into completion.
Following suit, title track ‘Romantic OD’, featuring Bop & Omfeel, occupies a landscape of delicate texture and cosmic melody, with an overtone of ambient jungle. An unwavering piano line accompanying an intricate array of percussive exploration renders this broken-electronic creation a true wonder for the listener to behold. But the heart of this release beats further still, and we begin to feel the ‘Pulse Drops’ of Nuages astounding audible creation. A playful groove with many parts, the record’s tone rises like the sun, giving the EP a glimpse of the forthcoming spring.
Delving deeper with each passing moment, ‘Be Myself’ draws upon Nuage & Bops pedigree as drum & bass producers with a techy masterclass in ambient drum work and deep atmosphere. A progressive dub-techno roller that balances skittering percussion with alluring vocals leads the listener through a labyrinth of sonics, with each turn greater than the last.
Final track ‘End Of Blossom’ see’s Nuage & Bop sign-off an impeccable release with a masterclass in aural architecture. As a veteran of labels such as Anjunadeep, Project: Mooncircle Translation, Interactive, and Fokuz, the exalted producer Nuage is as versatile as he is gifted, and this EP further cements his unquestionable pedigree as a recording artist.

The winters in Dmitry Kuzmin’s home city are to be endured rather than enjoyed. But like his musical counterparts across the Baltic in Scandinavia, it’s given Kuzmin (aka Nuage) the perfect excuse to just stay inside, nerd out and make music. There’s a warmth and cosiness to his productions – a mix of neo-classical ambience, sultry future 2-step and feather-light electronica.
