An artist causing a buzz with his multi-faceted productions, Nōpi debuts on Proton Music with his twin-track, “Parallel Words”. Remixes come from Australian and US stars GMJ & Matter and Mark Slee.
Finding himself allied to some of the most respected modern imprints with a sought-after deep house and melodic techno sound, Nōpi has carved out a sizeable reputation for himself in 12 short months after a March 2019 debut for Pipe and Pochet. Since then, music for Nie Wieder Schlafen, Kindisch and Pablo Bolivar’s Seven Villas, has seen the Ukrainian hit the ground running. Following up on May 2020’s remix of Erdi Irmak for Proton Music, Nōpi now returns with a debut EP.
The title track is an immaculately crafted affair that bristles with intricate percussive intent while a cast of elegant and emotive, melodic characters mingle and entwine in brilliant sonic patterns. The result is a swathe of filtered arpeggios, textured pads and counterpoint motifs that evolve over a 7-minute piece in magisterial fashion. “Liquid Week” continues the delicate percussive framework as fizzing hi-hats form the backdrop for hypnotic melodies to develop alongside a smooth lead sequence. Hitting its stride with the wow and flutter of tape delay at the breakdown, subtle variations add depth and texture to the track.
Sparkling original tracks and remixes from GMJ and Matter and Mark Slee have Nōpi revelling in “Parallel Words”. You can now listen to the full premiere of the title track ‘Parallel Worlds’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
