Nolga makes a quick return to LOCUS as he delivers his first EP on the label, ‘Mistaken Identity’.

With tracks played by the likes of Raresh, SIT, and FUSE boss Enzo Siragusa, Manchester-based talent Nolga is definitely on an upwards curve. Known to many within the city, heading up his own events series Complex Future, the DJ/producer has been steadily making a name with original material on Aesthetic and One Records while collaborating with Michael James on iO Mulen’s Hoarder. Following on from his contribution ‘Ace Of Space’ to the label’s second VA instalment LOCUS TRAXX, the bubbling talent returns to LOCUS for his first full release on the imprint as he draws for a quartet of dynamic cuts across his ‘Mistaken Identity’ EP.

Title track ‘Mistaken Identity’ opens the package via a series of tight, crisp grooves, fluttering synths and a wiggly bassline to set the tone from the off, while ‘Revolution’ brings the most stripped-back track on the package, introducing a percussive workout armed with punchy kicks. Next, ‘Electric Sunrise’ offers up neon lead lines across a slick, shuffling cut, before ‘Amber Gambler’ closes the show with a fiesta of slick drums, hazy sweeping melodies and vibrant electronics.
