Nakano Blu - REM (2024)

Traumgarten presents REM – a collection of 7 compositions on a late-night neural exploration. The latest body of work by NAKANO BLU is a sonic articulation of the most paradoxical phase in the sleep-wake cycle. Each night, as we shut our eyelids and slip into a dream state, what is tangible and real goes to sleep. Yet simultaneously, we wake up to a realm where (sur)reality takes over and the walls of materiality collapse.

Intended for your after-hours escapades, the EP is the Spanish-born, Amsterdam-based producer's next incarnation of 'Experimental Club Music’ aka ECM. While much of the world has succumbed to the nocturnal forces of the Circadian rhythm and lay deep in sleep, REM’s dark, intoxicating tracks will exert just the right amount of pull to keep you suspensefully tethered to the edge of consciousness. Caution: may induce rapid eye movements, irregular breathing, elevated heart rate, and heightened brain waves.
