Cold in form but warm in feel - Niclic's debut EP is a hi-tech shell housing rhythms that groove with a kind of earthbound swing. Nodding to early Objekt in its percussive precision, touched by IDM's digital intricacy, and wrapped in hazy emotional grain, his sound feels fully realized from the start.

There's a tactility to the way he programs space and silence - a sense that each element has room to breathe, flicker, and vanish. One track channels jagged UK techno with brittle edges and fine-grained detail; another floats through foggy deep house. The result is a subtle and varied listen, equally suited for the dancefloor fringe or the solitude of late-night headphones.
