N/UM push live electronic boundaries with Fade The Heart EP

While much of the electronic world leans on meticulous planning and pristine studio polish, New York trio N/UM continue to tread a different path. Known for their fully improvised live sets, they strip the process back to its rawest form, letting the machines speak in real time and embracing the unpredictability that comes with it. Their latest EP Fade The Heart captures that approach in four deep, evolving cuts that feel as spontaneous as they do refined.

Made up of Grammy-winning engineer Jeremy Loucas, guitarist Elias Meister and Danish multi-instrumentalist Emil Bovbjerg, N/UM have already carved out a reputation for pushing the boundaries of live electronic performance. Their appearances at Mutek Montréal, Fusion Festival, Robot Heart and Movement Detroit have seen them bring an unmistakable energy to both underground spaces and major festival stages.

Fade The Heart distills that energy into a studio recording that never loses its live essence. Modular textures twist and breathe, lush synth pads drift across the mix, and crisp percussion holds everything together with an understated groove. The EP favours restraint over theatrics, letting space and texture carry the narrative rather than forced build-ups or heavy-handed drops.

For those looking for electronic music that feels organic, intuitive and refreshingly human, N/UM continue to deliver.

Across all four tracks, there is a quiet confidence in the way the music unfolds. It never rushes but always moves forward, pulling the listener deeper into its hypnotic space. Fade The Heart feels less like a studio release and more like being dropped into the room with the trio, caught in that fleeting, unrepeatable moment where instinct shapes the sound.
