"Have you ever had this endless feeling of unconditional love for someone or music, between virtuality and reality, which seems to be eternal for your own heart..." --Nicolas Masseyeff
French DJ and producer Nicolas Masseyeff shares his first album in almost a decade on Marc Romboy's label Systematic. The release brims with lush tones, electronica-flecked rhythms and rich soundscapes, suitable for a club-based audience and home listening. Celebrated visual artist Yann Masseyeff -- Nicolas's brother -- is responsible for the artwork of the release. Raised on the French Riviera, Nicolas Masseyeff started out as a local record dealer before purchasing his own shop, Limelight, establishing it as the most respected vinyl haunt in the South of France. Pursuing music production full-time since the late noughties allowed Nicolas to follow his true path, shaping him into the multi-genre artist he is today. Having released on Herzblut Recordings, Systematic, KD Music, Mobilee, and several other esteemed imprints, Nicolas has worked relentlessly to craft a sound that transcends house, electronica, downtempo and Afro house. Collaborations with Kittin, Oxia, and Parallelle wind throughout his back catalog, as well as remixes for Frankyeffe, Pig&Dan, Nikola Gala, Hot Since 82, and many more besides. Endless offers an insight into Nicolas's spiraling world, detailing the artist's lithe production skills and consideration when collaborating with other talents, like the interdisciplinary singer Kittin. The collection sums up where Nicolas is at now in his career -- a storied producer who continues to evolve, sharing an aesthetic rich in melody while retaining a dance-driven flavor. It's the kind of sound that comes with years of practice, patience, and perseverance.

SAPIENS 008EP
|
Sapiens' label boss, Agoria, invites Cannes' highly regarded Limelight resident Nicolas Masseyeff to the floor with a deep, dark and enigmatic two-track EP, Muse. The opening title track blends bold, ominous synth lines and stripped-back percussion for a driven, Bodzin-esque cut of the highest order. On the flip is the subtle, groove-filled "Moment Of Truth", neatly textured with layers of intricate percussion and brooding synth toplines.

HERZ 022CD
|
Nicolas Masseyeff releases his debut album, The Motherland, on Stephan Bodzin's Herzblut Recordings. His latest work draws on a wide sonic palette: it goes deeper and more introverted than his previous releases, making it as suited to home listening as it is to club dancing. The album is one to pick apart for DJs or to digest whole for connoisseurs. The Motherland is not only a fine artistic statement from one of France's leading electronic producers, but also an assured full-length release on Herzblut which will no doubt stand the test of time.
