RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026
Originally released in 2020 and using a deliberately restricted hardware setup and recording most of the tracks in a single take, Blizzards dives straight into the eye of the storm for a turbulent 11-track package. The title -- a partial nod to the tumultuousness of British politics -- but equally apt at describing Nathan's cyclical melodic leads, serves as a visual cue to accompany each track. Glistening nodes are spun into geometric oddities before spiraling through frantic rhythmic frameworks, from the radiant layers of "Pentiamonds" to the dissonant delirium of "Stepping Stone." Beginning with the intention of "soundtracking the ideal rave," Blizzards borrows heavily from Nathan's approach to his live show, capturing unadulterated moments of creative insight to form microscopically detailed aesthetic statements. Whilst the lush melodies he is known for are central to the album, there is also a heavy dose of experimentation, expanding on the familiar sonic palette of his earlier work. For every warm synth and resolved cadence there is an atonal spiral and gritty distortion lurking around the corner. As might also be expected of his music, polyrhythms feature throughout, sometimes taking on a life of their own but always providing a precise percussive grounding for melodies to weave in and out of. The effects of this are at times disorienting, at others psychedelic, but always intriguing, owing to the influences of early rave and IDM as much as folklorism and spirituality. Norfolk born and bred, Nathan's first encounters with electronic music came via the radio, hearing the likes of Aphex Twin and Orbital, and reading about the equipment that they used in magazines. This was the stimulus for him to buy some gear and begin his own sonic experiments and, linking with James Holden in 2003, Nathan's early output came via his fledgling Border Community label.

RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026
Originally released in 2021. The anthemic "Sandstone" is Nathan Fake's homage to early '90s Orbital and UK techno, which were the biggest influences on his formative music-writing years. With huge waves of bass and a wide-eyed emotive rush, he perfectly encapsulates the '90s techno/trance apex, but brings it bang up-to-date with his trademark sonic wizardry. French musician Irène Drésel transforms "Vectra" into an epic and expansive dark trance banger, while Afrodeutsche AKA Henrietta Smith-Rolla strips "Cry Me A Blizzard" right back to its chords. Nathan provides his own live studio recording of "Torch Song," which melds choppy beat juggling with gorgeously glistening synths.

RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026
Double LP version. Originally released in 2023. Following a short, scene-setting "Arrival" -- a simple major chord arpeggio played on a Jupiter 6 which sounds like curtains opening at dawn, Nathan Fake's Crystal Vision begins apace with "The Grass," which hurtles like a precision-tuned bullet train through Arctic tundra. The undulating effect of compression is emphasized by the classic techno trope where two rhythms jar yet interlock, creating an exquisitely disorientating strobe-like flutter. Inspired by Italo disco but sounding wholly alien and futuristic, "Vimana"'s fizzing buzzsaw arpeggiated bassline, popping snares and bright whirling melody are equally an electro trance melange, with an effervescent major chord Arp that kicks in midway. With chugging slow breakbeats not a million miles from Board Of Canada or trip hop, "Crystal Vision" rolls along, with the melody opening up, revealing more hidden notes as it progresses, building into a fractal, kaleidoscopic mosaic. An emotional outpouring with serotonin surging through the circuitry, classic breakbeats and layers of lazers, "Bibled" has all the hallmarks of a classic. A minimalistic moment of calm midway through the album, "CMD"'s gently comforting dreamscape is conjured with FM stacked and detuned sine waves which are left to breathe, whilst the chunky Chicagoan house jack of "Hawk" brings to mind classic Relief records, but even more detuned and wibbly, and laden with synths. A collaboration with Nathan's close friend and genuine musical hero Clark, "Outsider" finds this dream team alchemizing pure gold that's bigger than the sum of their parts. Skittering, intense, far-reaching end epic, the pair close proceedings on a grandly dramatic note. An in-demand remixer, Fake has added his magic to tracks by Radiohead, Clark, Perc, Jon Hopkins, GoGo Penguin, Dominik Eulberg, Christian Löffler, and Damian Lazarus, working for labels including Ninja Tune, Domino, Warp, Blue Note and Kompakt.

As Nathan Fake rises from the nocturnal subterranea and rave catharsis of his previous records, on Evaporator, he resurfaces into the domain of daylight, bringing a tangible sense of air rushing against your face, of big skies, and endless landscapes. The idea of pop accessibility that trickled into 2023's Crystal Vision is refracted here through the prism of sweeping ambient, deep electronica, and trance uplift. Evaporator is Fake's idea of "airy daytime music," with each track a different barometer reading across the album's varying atmospheres, which range from vibrant sunbursts, bracing rainscapes, and fine mists of clement melodics. Border Community alumni Dextro AKA Ewan Mackenzie transmutes his ferocious drumming for Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs into the blurred choral thump of "Baltasound." "Orbiting Meadows," meanwhile, is his second collaboration with Clark, an eerily idyllic duet where microtonal 18EDO piano clangs slowly twirl around wailing pads. Evaporator marks the junction point of old technology and ever fresh creativity for Nathan. Evaporator continues to prove his necessary presence, with some of his most engaging, varied, and magical music yet. Also available on clear bio-vinyl (IF 1104LP).

CAMBRIA 002EP

"I've been listening to more music than usual lately, just trawling the internet for weird stuff. I usually shut myself off from most current things when I'm working on a record... I've always been totally turned off by the idea of owning expensive/high-end equipment... Glaive was started with a couple of kick drum sounds I'd made on the SH-09. I've always loved the idea of using quite 'crap' sounds and putting them in the context of a proper track." Nathan Fake continues to ignore convention with an EP that is singular and striking from just about any perspective.

"Straight out of the Norfolk countryside, 22 year old Nathan Fake is a most unlikely saviour of electronic music. His debut album Drowning in a Sea of Love is a truly enchanting collection of rocktronica at its finest -- loaded with Casio riffs, soaring fake-guitar lead lines, single live take recordings and a heap of lighters-in-the-air moments. Containing the original live take of the psychedelic epic 'The Sky Was Pink' (prior to its remix transformation into the electro anthem of last summer), this is a ballsy, gutsy eleven track wall of computer-noise, underlined by a rock-solid production ethic which belies Fake's tender years. Who needs a full band anyway? Homegrown UK talent like Nathan Fake doesn't come along every day, and it is little wonder that he is one of so many people's 'Tips for 2006': a true breath of fresh air in a dance scene desperately seeking direction."

TRAUM 060EP
|
Dominik Eulberg & Michael Mayer remixes. "After the success of the original 'Dinamo' by Nathan Fake, Traum presents the remixes. Both are different in style from the original track and different in their original version, Dominik Eulberg created a dynamic rhythm monster out of the very universal and genre breaking 'Dinamo,' a track which has started up a discussion worldwide of what the track reminded people of. A magic seems to be connected with the track and so it seems very hard to remix this opus. On the other hand, the euphoria over the music has solved this problem quickly. Dominik Eulberg has taken the track to a stage which is more Chicago than London, pumping up the rhythm section, seeming to go nowhere than into the clouds of the fog on the dancefloor... the pounding beats of the night in the blood of a person who loves to play the big floors. Other than that we see on the flipside Michael Mayer with his elegant and pop-fed deep mix of 'Coheed,' highlighting that wonderful track in a new light and strengthening the value it deserves rather than being the small brother of 'Dinamo' for the rest of its life. The track seems to be now an independent track, with a quality of its own with other values! Michael Mayer plays with the beauty, melody and deepness of 'Coheed.' Enjoy the Traum-ride!"

TRAUM 056EP
|
"Who does not know 'The Sky is Pink' on Border Community by Nathan Fake? An epic without comparison. Since then he has constantly released fabulous records on that label. Traum was very delighted to receive a demo by Mr Fake and instantly agreed on an EP. For our label Traum, that is running for seven years, highlighting melodies and grooves in one cosmos it is a natural progression to take on an artist that has similar ideas but fuses them in a universal and delicate manner. The 12 minute long epic track 'Dinamo' to speak with the words of Nathan Fake is one of the best 'house' tracks he has done so far. Still quite electronic and more than that, it is as hypnotic as the movement of a snake and is comparable to the best of Mathew Johnson's tracks around. On the flipside Nathan Fake has recorded an true acid track with tricky bits a 303 cannot by itself and a track where he sings on and which highlight a bit of the spirit of the a-side in a deeper state of mind."
