Bodu Imchi by Nachtbraker
Amsterdam's Nachtbraker makes his Up The Stuss debut with a heady late-hours excursion on the four-track, Bodu Imchi EP.
Dutch artist Maurits Verwoerd, aka Nachtbraker, makes his first outing on Up The Stuss with "Bodu Imchi," a four-track collection that highlights the breadth and curiosity that have long defined his work. Drawing from a world that stretches from ambient and cinematic music to dub, jazz-inflected electronics and house, the Amsterdam native has developed a sound that can feel both deeply considered and completely instinctive.
Releases across Aus Music, Peach Discs, Heist Recordings, Dirt Crew, and his own Nachtbraker and Quartet Series labels have established him as one of the more distinctive voices in the Dutch house landscape, with support from artists including Jamie xx, DJ Seinfeld, Raresh, Shanti Celeste, and Axel Boman.
Across "Bodu Imchi," those influences come together in a record that feels fluid, slightly strange and constantly alive. Warmth sits alongside subtle unease, hypnotic grooves give way to more playful rhythmic ideas, and intricate melodies drift through low-slung foundations without ever becoming overly polished. There's a sense of late-night discovery throughout, the kind of music that rewards close attention yet still carries enough physicality to move a room and keep packed dancefloors locked in.
Four tracks, one evolving atmosphere, and a meeting of musical worlds that feels right at home on the Up The Stuss label. It's a release that finds character in the fine details: unexpected textures, subtle shifts in rhythm, and elements that seem to appear out of nowhere before disappearing again. Moving between heads-down focus and hazier hours, it captures the curious, nocturnal spirit that runs through his work.
