NonRev new EP on Codename: RCRDS



UK based Codename: RCRDS is thrilled to showcase the second solo artist EP on their label, beautifully crafted by the immensely talented NonRev, delivering a collection of five lush, atmospheric jungle and drum and bass tracks.

The 'Sun At Midnight' EP draws significant inspiration from the music of iconic figures from the 90s, including LTJ Bukem and Good Looking Records, Voyager, DJ Trax, and PFM. It's a mesmerizing blend of vintage breakbeats, booming 808s, and soulful jazz samples, all immersed in reverb and a strong sense of nostalgia, yet presented with a distinctly contemporary twist.

The EP opens with ‘Never Again’, where lush keys and synth vox’s meet rolling breaks and deep rumbling bass. Things move into an eerier direction with the catchy guitar riff and deep stabbing synth tones of ‘Inconsequential’, before things switch back into a more rolling direction with ‘Have Life Will Travel’. The stunning ‘Stay With Me’ seamlessly interplays several vocals with rolling breaks and an infectious bassline, before the EP closes with the gorgeous title track ‘Sun At Midnight’.
