B•O•M is the fifth album by freak electronic producer NCHX (NOCHEXXX). A percussive planet of acid-techno, UK bass, house and electro-phonk, hosed down with a chemical wash of post-dubstep and UK bleep contaminants.

“A dance floor’s dream and a mixing engineer’s nightmare, this spirited techno album goes wild on the reverb. It works.”
Resident Advisor
“…proper scuzzy mutoid waste acid filth for the true freaks.”
8/10
Norman Records
“…comes on like a blindfolded disco in a particularly funky ironmongers…Clatteringly good.”
Electronic Sound
Departing with a tube station screech, Hunting Hides signals a lone defender’s ride through the underground – trace amounts of musique concrete dart around the tunnel walls, while sub-low cushions the rumble. Entercol is perfect 3am mix fodder; saturation hot-points push beneath a middle eastern theme, whilst Seventh Gun Territory is pure rapid-fire bongo bizness – a concrete terrain punctuated with corrugated metal grids and moving shadows: distorted poly-metered brutalism! Cybertush is the perfect OST to a club littered with vape pens, while B-Boi bots flirt with promiscuous A.I.
Arguably the most fierce cut is Teflontuan – an ode to NCHX’s favourite pro Antuan Dixon – the Deathwish skater lands bolts with the illest of steeze. Side-chained 303 squelch rattles alongside x0x sequenced drums as wavetable pads float above kinked rails. A nights gallop over city curbs. The LP signs off with Location Scout, a SpaceX sample-return mission heading back to earth with a fistful of deep house red planet crumble.
Parallel Paintings finds NCHX (NOCHEXXX) in deep house mode after being deep in his house during 2020’s summer lockdown. Fans of Walt J and Shinichi Atobe don’t hesitate!
