Nicolas Masseyeff

Nicolas Masseyeff On the scorching French Riviera in 1989, Nicolas Masseyeff was first kissed by electronic music. Drawing inspiration from a wide sonic plane that includes minimalism, jazz, new wave, Detroit techno and Chicago house, producers like Steve Reich, John Cage, Carl Craig, UR, Basic Channel and Larry Heard are the ones Masseyeff looks up to. Itʼs no surprise, then, that in 1998 he began experimenting with his own music, but it was only in 2006 that he finally formed his own musical identity and began releasing his first productions.. 2011 brought The Motherland, a complete and coherent solo debut album on Herzblut that was an odyssey into the manʼs unique musical mind and featured plenty of twists and turns, blissful sections and plenty of joie de vivre as well as real melancholia and sorrow. 2016, meanwhile, brings Nicolas and Oxia back together 15 years after the first time they met. This time, as well as working on great new music, they are also starting their own label, Diversions Music. So for this year 2018 Nicolas is happy to came back to his first love with melodies and soul to tell us some poetic things to the heart, like his forth coming release on Sapiens (Agoria’s label) called « Muse »...where he achieved deeper sounds twisted with some balances introspection made with sexiness... Nicolas chose a more emotional and personal line to express himself....
