Van Boom - NUBORNE
Van Boom is a producer and DJ who relentlessly challenges the social and state-imposed boundaries of the Gulf region. His work delves into the depths of censorship, defiance, and raw self-expression, unearthing the darker nuances of the area’s socio-political landscape. With his EP ‘NUBORNE,’ released under Cease 2 Exist, Van Boom expands on the abrasive, hyper-industrial foundation of his debut ‘Prosthetics’, seamlessly blending unsettling, distorted textures that seem to unravel before the listener’s ears, particularly evident in the opening track. Throughout the EP, frustration and solitude seethe beneath the surface, with tension ready to erupt at any moment. These forces rise against the relentless mechanical rhythm as if the sonic landscape itself is alive and evolving. Featuring collaborations with whiterose, Safety Trance, and Evita Manji, NUBORNE becomes a truly immersive experience, one that blurs the lines between live performance and recorded sound.
