2018 release. Nervous Horizon presents TSVI's debut album: Inner Worlds. The album is about reconnecting to one's true self and the discovery of the inner worlds: it is born from an ongoing artistic journey, which began in TSVI's childhood. The artist grew up with parents who practice Hinduism, which is quite unusual for an Italian family. In most recent times he was hugely inspired by his partner's religious and musical background, after she exposed him to Middle Eastern music and Sufi ideologies. TSVI started creating tracks that were influenced by belly dance percussionists such as Emad Sayyah and Hossam Ramzy, combined with dancehall, Tarraxo, and trance. The album is largely influenced by the role of music in transcendental Sufi practices and resembles an inner journey through different states of meditation and self-discovery. Vedic and Tantric knowledge are also important here. Each track is a state of mind from the opening one, "Root", to the last one, "Crown", as they represent the first and last Chakras and all the other states found in-between. Get ready to embark on a journey through mind, body, and soul. Features Miragal, Luru, and WWWINGS.

NH 007EP
|
2018 release. Inspired by a fluid mix of global club sounds including UK funky, kuduro, techno, and rap, Nervous Horzion co-head TSVI releases Rambo EP. Comprised of six tracks, including collaborations with DJ JM and fellow Nervous Horizon boss, Wallwork, as well as a bonus remix from Luru, Rambo EP details how TSVI's sound continues to evolve, taking on bold new shapes in the process. A natural extension of 2016 EP, Sacred Drums (NH 005EP), here he scopes out fresh influences that can be felt right the way through the track list. From the blaring kuduro flavors on opener "Pull Up" to outright UK funky club jam, "Funky T" and sparse, frenetic drum workout "Roller", TSVI meshes together a network of powerful, drum-centered tracks. Features from DJ JM and Wallwork bring new focus to his work too, with "Jaguar" -- a cranking, off-piste drum exercise hit by bursts of sharp, metallic synth melodies and zapping bass stabs -- spotlighting inventive sound design and brilliantly abstract thinking. A bold marker for a producer already at the top of his game, Rambo EP forms a perfect lift-off point for one of the UK's most exciting young club labels.

NH 005EP
|
2016 release. Nervous Horizon co-head TSVI returns to the label after his 2015 debut with a collection of ruff n ready club bumpers that emanate the raw energy of UK funky and gqom in equal measure. Now based in London, the Italian producer continues down that path which has brought him to wider appeal -- one of no-frills drum workouts punctuated with nifty sample touches and bursts of melody. He calls upon NH associates Luru and DJ JM to collaborate on the final two tracks respectively. "Aziza" is as good an example on how TSVI and the Nervous Horizon crew generally are looking to re-shape club music.

NH 002EP
|
2015 release. London imprint Nervous Horizon comes up with the goods for the second time, following their debut outing from Wallwork & RZR with a rugged release from TSVI on his Set You Free EP. The title cut opens with a bottomless 4/4 thump before deploying heavy depth charges with brittle industrial percussion, following by the militaristic stomping session of "Headshot" and tenacious swing of "Black Dog" featuring Luru. Flipside, Lokane takes a turn on "Headshot" infusing a dubbier edge, whereas Luru's take builds a stiff tension together with a battery of grating, industrial drums.
