New York City has always had a thing for pushing the edges of electronic music. From gritty warehouse parties to late-night modular jams, it is a scene built on energy, experimentation and that never-know-what-you’ll-get kind of vibe. That spirit runs deep through N/UM, the NYC-based trio known for stripping club music down to its most essential form and building it back up live with nothing but machines, instruments and instinct.
On their new EP Fade The Heart, they channel that approach into four hypnotic cuts that feel spontaneous yet locked in, capturing the rawness of their fully improvised performances. No pre-recorded material. No fixed structure. Just a room full of synths, modular rigs, guitar, drum machines and a deep trust in the moment.
Made up of Grammy-winning engineer Jeremy Loucas, guitarist Elias Meister and Danish multi-instrumentalist Emil Bovbjerg, N/UM have carved out their own lane within the global live electronic scene. From Mutek Montréal to Fusion Festival, Robot Heart and Movement Detroit, they have brought their unpredictable, in-the-moment sound to underground spaces and festival stages alike.
Fade The Heart distills that same energy into a studio setting without losing the magic of live creation. Analog textures breathe. Percussion hits with just enough punch. The grooves roll forward with quiet confidence, never rushing the process. It is minimal, spacious and full of subtle shifts that pull you in deeper.
The result feels less like a polished studio product and more like being dropped inside the room with them. It is music that unfolds naturally and refuses to play by the rules.
For anyone craving electronic music that feels honest, alive and rooted in the vibrant unpredictability of New York’s underground, Fade The Heart delivers.
