Nicolas Bougaïeff presents a four-track EP, On The Grid. This is the final instalment in a series of EPs inspired by Greg Egan's sci-fi novel Permutation City (1994). "Eden Configuration" combines a monolithic synth line with propulsive bass grooves. "Rip Tie Cut Toy Man" introduces a furtive synth melody tucked beneath rhythmic rumbles. The stripped-back title track "On The Grid" is a playful alternative to dark dystopia - a fast and upbeat cut, reminiscent of '90s minimalism, delivered with punchy modern production. "Skyscraper Model" features a fluid acid line amidst reverberating warehouse beats, providing a sense of energetic resolution.
