UPFRONTBEATS

Few Nolder has created a fitting second EP for Gardens of God’s Sodai label, spotlighting the cream of electronic talent coming out of Lithuania. ‘Ace Of Space’ confidently delivers three original tracks that build upon an already solid reputation.

‘Showing a steady upward trajectory, Few Nolder has established himself as an internationally respected DJ-producer’ so said XLR8R of his recent work. His opening track ‘Balance’ is the most unexpected track Linas Strockis AKA Few Nolder claims to have done in years. He is particularly surprised with his approach, discussing the ‘deep percussion and long tail cowbells together with windy textures, and lush hypno feel’.

While ‘Teaser’, which Gardens Of God played during his Back to Back with B.Traits on BBC Radio 1 recently is contrastingly unrelenting. ‘The melody evolves into a monster’, he says of the record, which can be heard in the metal snares and enchanting flute. On title track ‘Ace Of Space’ Nolder wants you to imagine ‘stars passing by in their intergalactic travels [whilst the drops] are like a return from an uncharted nebula’. This is an EP based on big melodies and endless spaces, and a worthy fit for the burgeoning label.

Few Nolder has been creating music for over a decade with a steady succession of releases on Ghostly International, Planet MU, Connaisseur Recordings and Needwant Recordings.
