Boblebad returns to Beatservice Records with his latest imaginative studio offerings, crafting four kinetically charged grooves on the gorgeously expansive Nattbad EP.
Ulf Moen Denneche – better known as Boblebad – is an artist blessed with far-reaching creative thrust. The producer, musician, painter, and visual artist has regularly lit up the Beatservice inventory since making his label debut in 2021. With an ever-undulating sonic signature that's refreshingly hard to pin down, his music has featured on some of the underground's most highly regarded imprints. Boblebad effortlessly glides through Balearic soundscapes, immersive deep house, and unfettered electronica.
His latest EP launches with the title track, "Nattbad." Literally translated as 'a bath at night,' the subaquatic sounds presented brim with nocturnal delight as mesmerizing chords, ethereal pads, and dreamy synths combine over thick bass and driving rhythms.
Next up, the EP's lead single "Papirfly" rises in, its gently psychedelic textures serving as a loving tribute to seminal Manchester label Paper Recordings. Pitched somewhere between the heat of the dancefloor and glistening star-lit skies, the music explodes with euphoric piano stabs, hallucinatory synth swells, and saucer-eyed melodies.
The balmy atmospherics of "Palmesus" are composed around the stereotypical Norwegian urge to travel to warmer climes, with Boblebad summoning a turquoise oceanside landscape of swaying palm trees and shimmering sands to soothe winter-weary spirits. Here, propulsive bass and snappy drums drive yearning melodies and astrally-charged synth motifs, the sumptuous harmonics radiating like the sun's golden glow.
Continuing the migratory theme, the closing track, "Strandliv,' is the toughest of the set. Formed around sturdy rhythms and robust bass, its powerfully hypnotic groove propels floating pads and cosmic synth refrains, again primed to soar across glistening oceans into gloriously evolving skies.
With four dynamic cuts designed with the dancers in mind, the Nattbad EP is yet more fine work from this luminous creative force. Boblebad once again demonstrates his creative flair to stunning effect.
