SEVEN A&R and co-founder CRYME joins the imprint’s new a.2aum sublabel with the ‘Nebulas Dream’ EP 14th August 2026, further exploring the atmospheric spaces between house, dub and tech. Known for bringing an intimate feeling to functional grooves, his productions are rooted in rhythm and depth, balancing full-body immersion with subtle emotion seen in an impressive run of recent releases on labels like Oddyssee, HE.SHE.THEY, Happiness Therapy, and many more.
Title track ‘Nebulas Dream’ leaves planet earth, carried by a moderate tempo, dubbed-out chords and lively, intriguing percussion elements. The bassline is built from deep toms that lock into the groove, creating a subtle 2-step feel. Bouncy, playful stepper ‘Astral Passages’ heads out of our solar system with classic, short-cut chord progressions meeting interesting drum structures. No unnecessary sounds, just well-designed tools with the right amount of depth. ‘Pluto’s Last Breath’ is packed with subtle nuances and lush sound design, heavily textured with white noise that lends a vintage feel, while percussive elements are drenched in big reverb, with snares processed through dub delay and delayed chords roaming in from far away. Closer ‘Winds Across Uranus’ reflects the planet’s atmosphere, where extreme winds can reach speeds of up to 900 km. With greater tension, this track evolves through the clever interplay of different synth sounds, carried by clear, precise drum patterns.
