{"product_id":"on-the-grid-1","title":"On the Grid","description":"\u003cp\u003eNicolas Bougaieff presents a new four track EP, \u003ci\u003eOn The Grid.\u003c\/i\u003e This is the final instalment in a series of EPs inspired by Greg Egan’s sci-fi novel \u003ci\u003ePermutation City\u003c\/i\u003e (1994). Opening track \u003ci\u003eEden Configuration\u003c\/i\u003e combines a monolithic synth line with propulsive bass grooves. \u003ci\u003eRip Tie Cut Toy Man\u003c\/i\u003e introduces a furtive synth melody tucked beneath rhythmic rumbles. Bougaïeff’s voice is featured for the first time on the stripped back title track \u003ci\u003eOn The Grid\u003c\/i\u003e, a playful alternative to dark dystopia. The result is a fast and upbeat cut, reminiscent of 90s minimal yet delivered with punchy modern production. Closer \u003ci\u003eSkyscraper Model\u003c\/i\u003e features a fluid acid line amidst reverberating warehouse beats, providing a sense of energetic resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first EP in the triptych,\u003ci\u003e Dust,\u003c\/i\u003e was released in 2018 on Max Cooper’s Mesh label and was followed later that year by \u003ci\u003ePermutation Djinn\u003c\/i\u003e on NovaMute.
