NOCTVVRNM DIALS IN BLEAK BASEMENT SYNTHS ON 'MELANCHOLIA'

Operating out of Sarajevo, producer Phara teams up with visual artist Obscura under the Noctvvrnm banner, piecing together tracks steeped in darkwave decay and midnight solitude. Locked at 125 BPM, 'Melancholia' pulls directly from the colder edges of eighties synth work, letting stark keyboard lines drift over rigid percussion without falling into retro kitsch.

Built inside FL Studio with old drum machine patterns, synth patches, and deep coats of reverb, the track leans into mechanical repetition and lingering decay. It sounds like an empty highway run at 3 AM, keeping the edges rough, cold, and entirely unconcerned with radio polish.
