Nubivore’s latest releases, “Deep Geo” and “Pomelo”, showcase two distinct approaches to electronic composition while sharing a common emphasis on detail, texture, and intricate rhythmic design. Drawing on influences from IDM, jazz, ambient music, and experimental electronics, both tracks demonstrate a strong sense of craft and sonic identity.
“Deep Geo” opens in a state of near stillness. Atmospheric textures, sweeping synth tones, and carefully sculpted sound design gradually establish a spacious environment before rhythmic elements begin to emerge. Rather than arriving all at once, the groove assembles itself piece by piece, with layers slowly converging to create a compelling sense of movement.
The production throughout is exceptionally detailed. Glitched percussion and fractured rhythmic elements interact with dense atmospherics, creating a sound that feels both immersive and technically sophisticated. As the track progresses, momentum steadily builds, with textures becoming darker and more intense before the dramatic arrival of jungle-inspired breakbeats. The transition feels earned, transforming the track from reflective ambience into something considerably more forceful while retaining its atmospheric core.
“Pomelo” takes a different route, moving more directly into IDM territory. Syncopated rhythms and bouncing percussive patterns create an engaging groove from the outset, while jazz-influenced piano chords and improvisatory flourishes introduce warmth and harmonic depth. The contrast between the precision of the drum programming and the organic quality of the harmonic material gives the track much of its character.
There is a playful quality to “Pomelo” that complements its technical complexity. Polyrhythmic percussion constantly shifts and evolves, yet the track never loses its accessibility or sense of momentum. The combination of glitch aesthetics, jazz harmony, and electronic production results in a piece that feels both cerebral and inviting.
Nubivore, the project of Amsterdam-based audiovisual artist Kim Taylor, draws on a background in both jazz piano and electronic engineering. That intersection between human expression and structured design is clearly evident throughout both tracks. Whether exploring the cinematic atmosphere of “Deep Geo” or the intricate rhythmic world of “Pomelo”, Taylor demonstrates a strong ability to balance technical precision with emotional and musical engagement.
Together, these tracks present an impressive example of contemporary electronic music that embraces complexity without sacrificing atmosphere or accessibility.
We’ve also added both tracks to our Electronica Playlist.
