The Upward Spiral is Nicolas Bougaïeff’s debut full-length album on Mute, blending acid, techno, and tempo modulation with a compositional, avant-garde approach. Drawing from his background in classical training and underground rave culture, the Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist crafts a cerebral yet visceral sound. Known for his work with Richie Hawtin and music tech innovation, Bougaïeff channels his deep roots in electronic music into a bold, exploratory release.
