Andrei Nikolsky – Synthi Shuffle / Synthi Sunrise (7”)

A loving nod to the golden age of French library electronics, this limited 7” finds Andrei Nikolsky channeling the spirit of late ’70s/early ’80s studio wizards like J.P. Decerf, Sauveur Mallia, and Yan Tregger, all through a modern, analog-leaning lens. “Synthi Shuffle” is pure motion: squelchy synth lines, rubbery bass, and bright clav stabs bouncing like a neon-lit dancefloor somewhere between Paris and another planet. On the flip, “Synthi Sunrise” drifts into softer territory, hazy, dreamlike, and slightly nostalgic, like the slow fade-in of memory after a long night. With shimmering, cosmic textures, and a clear love for vintage sound design, this one sits right in that sweet spot between library deep cut and dancefloor oddity.
