nicola kazimir: post-heretic dracula x chronicles

Post-Heretic Dracula X Chronicles draws from contemporary and past cultural references evolving around institutional-critique, occultism, and dividualism, and manifests those via metatags or sonic compositions. It is Nicola Kazimir's debut solo album and features 30 minutes full of diverse, rough, evil, melancholic electronic music pressed on to one record.

Nicola Kazimir is a part of the collective Les Points based in Zürich, Switzerland. His art/music draws from '90s rave utopias, dividualism, institutional-critique, and occultism. These progressive and accessible frameworks are showcased at the collective's offspace Mikro -- a physical room which has no doors and opening times during exhibitions and raves -- making an institution available to all social layers. His record labels Les Points and the newly founded Gentrified Underground appropriate those ideas and transfer them to the distribution channels of electronic music. Nicola refuses genre-stigmas and explores a vast number of genres in his DJ sets and productions -- his newest LP Post-Heretic Dracula X Chronicles being an example of that diversity. Includes insert.
