Permutation Djinn

2018 release. Nicolas Bougaïeff returns to NovaMute with Permutation Djinn inspired by Greg Egan's sci-fi novel Permutation City (1994). Bougaïeff's interpretation on Permutation Djinn attempts to translate the stages of Egan's novel into music while respecting the constraints of making club friendly tracks. The opener "Woke Up As A Copy" is an expansive track with Blade Runner-esque metallic reverberations. "Panic Time Tryout" is a peak-time cut, fostering the futurist atmosphere with an unsettling melody. "Little Djinn" is the most frenetic of the tracks whilst "No Escape" takes it back to peak time with resounding drums and drills.
