Today Nicolas Bougaïeff releases his new EP Sunday Summer, via NovaMute

The EP is the third and final entry in his “Prime” Series, following Primal Extensions and Prime Funktion earlier in 2025. The series explores what Bougaïeff coins as prime rhythms, polyrhythms derived from prime number ratios. These asymmetric, complex structures unfold across each EP, inviting deep listening and disorienting groove, so far winning support from the likes of Surgeon and Laurent Garnier.

Listen to “Organelle” HERE.

Opener “Sunday Morning at Panorama Bar When Things Go Sideways” sets the tone with skittish rhythms, rumbling low-end and glitchy synths, imperfect by design and rich with experimental edge. “Blue Seventeen” then brings high-velocity chaos with freakish pulses, incendiary hi-hats and frantic acid lines that tear through the mix before “Organelle” ups the pressure with muscular drum loops, gritty textures and dystopian melodies that feel like otherworldly transmissions. Closing out proceedings, “Summer Beach Bar Where Jodie Foster Goes in the Movie Contact” offers a moment of calm with a dubby, mid-tempo groove laced with organic sounds and whimsical melodies that drift in and out of focus like a mirage.

Based out of Berlin, Bougaïeff is a cerebral artist with a PhD in minimal techno and a creative reach citing Bach, Kraftwerk, visual art and mathematics for inspiration. A longtime Mute affiliate, he co-founded Liine (creators of the Lemur music app), launched the Berlin Academy of Electronic Music and runs the BAEMStudio platform, where he shares acclaimed production tutorials.
