"The mysterious beat-maker from Skopje who goes by the name Nyctophiliac on his own Lynchian soundtrack voyage "Ill Side of Town" meets different gothic creatures and becomes struck by the phantasm and reincarnation of musician's spirits, trumpeters, saxophonists from the world of jazz which served well as binding material for the two great albums he released in the past two years. Dark Side of the Mental is also on the list of the best albums of the russian dark jazz community VKontakte. In trippy mental regions this instrumental (trip) hop meets fantastic fusion of haunted blues and soul samples and the fatally Lynchian-inspired Bohren and der Club of Gore. On his track Lynchian Ride we can hear vocal samples from David Lynch where he talks about “fishing” ideas from the unconcious (how appropriate). This pseudonym pulls the name from a psychological state that points to affection or fetish toward dwelling in the dark, and on the list of disruptions that shake Nyctophiliac I would gladly add sleepwalking, which would ensure that this anonymous beatmaker, who really prefers to stay in the dark at his soundtrack journey where he introduces various Gotham creatures. The title track fantastically illustrates the atmosphere of this album, presenting us a collaboration with the trumpeter Izzy Op De Beeck from Antwerpen. The piano sample accompanies us with a prominent female voice on the verge of crying mantra, with crimson beats and twisted (double) bass, whereas in the second half of the track we hear something that reminds us of a slowed down sample from the cult Yugoslavian film series "The Written Off", while Eclipse is another hit with a vocalist similar to Billie Holiday that sings about the loured consciousness in the darkness of a dimmed jazz club, something that referring of her collaboration with Charles Mingus under the same title." bit.ly/3jVodHV & bit.ly/3DUHktP

about

Nyctophiliac Skopje, Macedonia

Beatsmith known for noirish trip-hop & blunted beats that incorporates thick, beefy bass lines with chunky grooves, various samples, breakbeats, loops and other subtle flourishes. Laid back sax, a wailing trumpet, a furiously scratched record, a storm of ambient whooshes and then there's that boom bap again. ... more
