NovaMute

novamute is a techno and electronica label that was founded in 1991. Originally run by Mick Paterson, Pepe Jansz, and Seth Hodder, the label started with 12" releases. In the early 90s, novamute partnered with Tommy Boy Music for their US releases, which featured a "NMCD" prefix on their catalog number. Later on, when Mute established its own North American office, the numbering series continued with the prefix changed to "NovaMute". The label is now displayed as novamute and has an impressive catalog of music.

With a rich history spanning over three decades, novamute has been at the forefront of pushing boundaries in electronic music. Known for their cutting-edge sound and innovative approach to production, they have consistently delivered groundbreaking releases that have shaped the genre. From underground classics to chart-topping hits, novamute has been home to some of the most influential artists in techno and electronica.

As one of the pioneers in electronic music, novamute continues to discover and nurture emerging talent while also supporting established artists. Their commitment to quality and artistic integrity has earned them a loyal fan base worldwide. With their distinct logo representing their evolution from NovaMute to novamute, this label remains a driving force in shaping the future of electronic music.

Nicolas Bougaieff presents his new EP on newly reactivated seminal British imprint NovaMute. As a producer he harbours a diverse musical background, having studied in a conservatoire setting whilst foraying into anti-authoritarian rave culture. He is also a respected lecturer, regularly teaching masterclasses in composition and speaking at global events such as Mutek and Ableton Loop - the results of which come to life in the inquisitive spirit of his productions. Cognitive Resonance explores elements of psytrance, gabber and techno through a compositional lens, drawing on the artist’s love for avant-garde forms and long-standing relationship with the electronic music community. The title track lays out long, expansive phrases and warped crescendos to create a disorienting structure, whilst distant harmonies, distorted kick drums and shattering effects merge into a hypnotic form on Truthful Hyperbole. Lastly, Fake News mangles our sense of rhythmic familiarity, disrupting the 4/4 beat with a complex metre and sinister melody. This is NovaMute’s first release since Motor (Bryan Black and Oly Grasset) over ten years ago.
