N/UM

N/um (pronounced noom) is a New York-based live electronic trio using analog synthesizers and drum machines, guitar and voices in live composition. Their debut album ‘Zebra” (Duro, June 2016) was included in ‘XLR8R's Best of 2016’ and gained wide international recognition. Each performance or recording by N/um is unique and improvised, with no pre-composed songs, no plan or structure agreed upon. The group unites three long-time friends who’ve always shared a deep passion for house music. They are five-time Grammy Award winning mastering engineer and producer Jeremy Loucas, guitarist of world- renowned rap group Residente (Calle 13) Elias Meister and Danish multi- instrumentalist and producer Emil Bovbjerg. The three, having recorded and performed together in different formations over the past decade, have become a solid musical unit under N/um, capable of capturing major dance floors while bringing the unique immediacy and spontaneity of pure, free improvisation to places where it is rarely heard: festivals, nightclubs and underground warehouse-parties. Despite the daring premise and unconventional creative approach the raison d’etre and mission statement of N/um is simple: The opposite of war is a dance floor.
