This EP by NickonFaith is a thoughtful rift in the digital techno landscape - equal parts cerebellum and cortex, if you will. A double-A side that bristles with hypnotic intent, it showcases a producer tapping into both the pulse of the dancefloor and the recesses of the meditative mind.

On “Medulla”, Faith weaves an Eastern-tinged melodic techno journey built on a rolling low-end and polyrhythmic percussion that coalesces into a high-voltage drop (vaguely resembling a possible slow motion of that kind of Goa trance pushed by labels like Blue Room decades ago). It’s festival-ready yet intimate - mystical but muscular. That thumping bassline evokes a visceral response, while the exotic scales and layered instrumentation hint at a deeper, spiritual quest - like a raver on pilgrimage.

“Stasis”, by contrast, is a contemplative dip into progressive house territory. Drawing inspiration from classic labels like Hooj Choons, it introduces spacious, emotional builds and evolving synth motifs. The result is melancholic yet euphoric - a sonic tension that keeps you suspended in thoughtful stillness, as if caught between two worlds.

Thematically, Nickon Faith explains that both tracks are tied to the mind - its rigid patterns and breakouts from inertia - framing them as reflective inversions of thought loops. The music captures that friction between stasis and motion with a painter’s precision.

What’s notable is how this release marks City Wall Records’ 200th output, a milestone that Nickon acknowledges with pride. It’s fitting that such a landmark comes at a moment when the EP itself negotiates tradition - older melodic and progressive house idioms - and innovation, through rhythmic complexity and thematic depth.

In sum, this EP is more than dancefloor fodder. It’s a mini-essay in electronic form about liberation - mental, bodily, existential. Nickon Faith stands not just as a DJ behind the decks but as a composer exploring resilience, transition, and the infinite potential of sound to map our inner landscapes.
