Release card for NOGE 'MESSY' on a vivid blue background: the sleeve is a heavily glitched photograph of a face in profile, broken up into blue pixel blocks and scan lines, with small error dialog boxes overlaid at the lower right.

Artist: NOGE
Title: 'MESSY'
Label: KUMO Collective

NOGE calls himself a hyperactive artist, and the release list behind him backs the word up. He co-founded the Pata Negra collective, and everything he puts out sits under one heading: MULTIBASS.

'MESSY' has gone to KUMO Collective. There is a vocal on it, and the press notes put the record somewhere between classic house, newer UK garage and speed house.

Marseille is where he works from. His catalogue takes in 'COLD HEA(R)T', the SUBSCREEN records, 'MULTIBASS' and 'Drop It Please'. 'BIG MAN TING' was a joint effort with Lorkestra, and Matière Production took his 'DAMAGE' EP.
