Nahash started in 2013 in Shanghai by Raphaël Valensi as a project to write the soundtrack for the end of the world. A year prior, Raphaël released an oddball beat tape as Laura Ingalls and started playing live keys and vocals in the Psych Rock outfit Death To Ponies. Those experiences opened the way to experiment outside of the Dance / Dj Ready music they were originally involved in as Laura Ingalls and Acid Pony Club. Nahash then released Metal inspired electronic music on Huashan Records that also served as a home for some of the freakiest noise and drone acts in China, while also hosting the “Let’s get naked and listen to a bunch drones” parties at the now legendary Shelter Club in Shanghai. In 2017 Nahash moved from Shanghai to Montréal and there became SVBKVLT’s main mixing and mastering resource. Meanwhile they released collaborative tracks and remixes with the shanghai based american artist Osheyack on labels such as Bedouin and CGI. In 2019 Nahash sound came to a new form that first crystallized in its remix of Gooooose’s Plasma Sunrise, a mix of pounding rave drums, harsh noise textures and warm percussion arranged through the filter of Dancehall, old UK Bleep and Jungle records. Recently Nahash has gained some serious attention from peers and press alike with the aptly named “Flowers Of the Revolution” album out now on SVBKVLT.
