Unveiled Nuance is the newly founded imprint by Manchester’s Means&3rd, a platform solely for his
own productions. The Eastern Bloc Records staff member inaugurates his debut vinyl release with 3
tracks covering a balance between hypnotic and driving techno, in keeping with his adopted style of
recent years.

‘Thought contortion’ opens the EP with a thunderous low end, propulsive rhythms and immersive
sweeps of sound design, teamed with modulated synth patterns that assist the unfolding of its
persistent structure. ‘Fragility of perception’ follows with its elastic 3 step synth groove and reverb rich textures which provide the bed while the percussion provides an airy dynamic. ‘Aural Dissociative’ closes the EP with an all together headier affair, a dynamic drone providing the backdrop while flickers of rhythm supplement its evolution and heavily modulated lead lines take the focus.
