GREAT ( then after awhile, it didn't mean anything to them), the new LP from Michul Kuun, a.k.a. NAH, is out now via Ranch Jams. There’s a brutal beauty in these recordings, as a chaotic concoction of sonic segments is blended. Unpredictable yet timely transitions create an intriguing, hyper-kinetic atmosphere. Weaving an array of textures into a unique, noise-threaded, sonic quilt, one is frequently surprised, and always intrigued.

Necessary NAH, a rather comprehensive collection of the artist’s material from 2011-2017, was recently posted. One can venture into the layered ambience. Hip hop/jazz/electronica, injected with noise, establishes varied precision across multiple dimensions. Cultivating spontaneity with a controlled hand, NAH's jams take hold, and bring you to places previously unknown. Go there with one of Philly's most profilic and talented sound sculptors!

Experimental sound sculptors Ada Babar recently popped up on our radar, dropping their split release, Nino Tomorrow (Favourite Tapes), last month with Palm frontman Kasra Kurt. Well, Babar are already back, appearing on another "wild ass" collaborative project with boundary-pushing Philly music brethren NAH, a.k.a. Mike Kuhns/Michul Kuun. Setting up a lot of midi equipment, "we went nutz on the jam session." And what they ended up laying down is an expansive ten-minute track that they've titled "Cassette Jam One," which is now available via Ranch Records. Kuhns also surprised us last week with another random EP Necessary Moods Vol. 1 that you can "pay what you want" and download HERE.

If mind-morphing, percussively propelled, electro experimentation is what you’re looking for, it’s been located. True Beauty (And Other Things), the debut release from NAH, under the new moniker of Michul Kuun. An air of fluid unpredictability encompasses the sonic landscape, as euphoria and chaos shake hands, providing a glimpse into the future. The set of seven tracks is available via Bone Soda and on cassette, courtesy of Ranch Jams and Letter Racer. (Photo by Gabe Coffey)

Finding what surprisingly feels like the right roads to where punk and hip hop meet, NAH, a.k.a. Mike Kuhns, continually releases jaw-dropping recordings at breakneck speed. You may get a bit bruised and battered with each listen. But it's definitely a good hurt. Take his latest six-track EP Aged for a round or two below! You can also cop it on cassette via Philly's own Ranch Records.
