After seven years of packing festival main stages around the world and releasing hit singles across genres with “REDLIGHT” with A$AP Ferg, “GUD VIBRATIONS” with SLANDER and “CASH COW” with Gunna, LA-based producer, DJ, and label owner NGHTMRE has finally unleashed his proudest moment yet.
May we present to you, ‘DRMVRSE’, his highly-anticipated audio-visual debut full-length album, which is available now on all DSPs and streaming services HERE. The cinematic thirteen track project is highlighted by standout single “Nothing’s Perfect” featuring charismatic indie rapper Oliver Tree out today!
Created over the past four years, NGHTMRE’s debut full-length album DRMVRSE is a masterfully cohesive fictional anthology involving a Neurotech company that discovers a sonic frequency called Unsound, which leads one through gateways to other physical planes of existence, known as the “DRMVRSE.”
Add in large amounts of DMT, portal jumping, and epic battles all seen via eight long form music video vignettes and you have one of the most imaginative and sonically pristine audio-visual, psychedelic-sci fi album experiences of the year.
To date, three of the videos have been released; the project’s lead single, “Fall Into Me” with SLANDER featuring Dylan Matthew, its guitar-led emotional second single, “The One” with KLAXX, and is third high octane trap single, “Trials” featuring Maryland rapper IDK, the video for which just released.
“I’ve wanted to write an album like this for my entire career! I’m really excited to have had the time to put this much thought and effort into all the details of the album and creating something with a “Hero’s Journey” storyline. DRMVRSE and the upcoming tour and live show are the next step up for all things NGHTMRE. I can’t explain how excited I am to share it with everyone” – NGHTMRE
The ‘DRMVRSE’ experience begins with the heavily cinematic and ominous “Intro” which guides listeners into NGHTMRE’s world. The mind-altering “Threshold” then catapults fans deep into the DRMVRSE with some of the heaviest drops imaginable.
“Teardrop” with German dance music legend Virtual Riot featuring American musician, actress and TV/internet personality Marlhy gives fans the heavy dose of fast-paced bass and beautiful vocals they crave and the previously-released, bass legends Zeds Dead-assisted “Shady Intentions” featuring Australian DJ/producer/singer Tori Levett continues the journey of dreamy vocals with immaculate bass production, making you feel as if you’re floating in a fantasy world.
From there the album drops into its first single with NGHTMRE’s GUD VIBRATIONS’ record label co-founders, SLANDER, “Fall Into Me (feat. Dylan Matthew),” which has already become a fan favorite and festival staple. The third and second singles follow, “Trials (feat. IDK)” and “The One” with KLAXX, respectively.
The second half of the DRMVRSE experience begins with the vibey “Atmosphere” with accomplished American singer/songwriter Upsahl’s enchanting indie vocals. Known for her hit single “Drugs,” Upsahl’s talents provide the most commercial offering to ‘DRMVRSE’.
“Nothing’s Perfect” featuring the once-retired hilarious internet enigma that is Oliver Tree starts with Tree’s signature anthemic vocals and guitars followed by an indie-leaning nostalgia-inducing beat which displays NGHTMRE’s elite level of technical production across all genres. The next two tracks, “Fear” and “Love,” are paired together, which will be explained further through their soon-to-be-released music videos. NGHTMRE brings the ‘DRMVRSE’ experience to a close with the fast-paced Drum n Bass track “Another Dose” and the cinematic and dreamy “Outro.”
NGHTMRE recently announced his limited run ‘DRMVRSE Tour’ with state-of-the-art production at select venues. He tested the experience with two larger-than-life ‘Into The DRMVRSE’ events at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in April and at Brooklyn Mirage in New York on July 4th.
