After three years away, Bordeaux producer Nuit Oceān dropped ‘TILL THE DAWN’ this past Friday on Fevrier Records. Known for earlier releases Island and Fire Divine, he’s racked up more than 13.7 million streams and earned features in Vogue France, Rolling Stone France, Tsugi, Aficia, Beware Mag, and Best in New Music. His live résumé includes standout sets at NRMAL Fest in Mexico alongside Swans, Future Islands, and Phantogram, plus shows at Paris spots Supersonic and David Lynch’s Silencio. He’s also opened for Cat Power and The Acid, the project tied to RY X, establishing himself as a consistent presence in French independent music.
‘TILL THE DAWN’ arrives with broad, frostbitten sawtooth synths that give way to a glitch-tinged, understated rhythm, eventually expanding into a fuller instrumental framework. Nuit Oceān’s plaintive vocals glide over the top, pairing wide-screen electronic textures with immediate, personal feeling.
The single reflects the sound he’s refined over years: dream pop and modern soul threaded with electro elements, built from airy vocal lines, minimal electronic pulses, and deep reverb tails. Early listening to Sade and Tracy Chapman, a formative jolt from Nirvana, and time spent in London’s experimental scene all feed into these late-night atmospheres that sit somewhere between introspection and calm, territory shared with artists like James Blake, Burial, and Mount Kimbie.
Nuit Oceān shared: “The Nuit Oceān project has been on hold for three years. It really mattered to me to come back with something meaningful, more refined, both technically and emotionally. This track is a true return, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I have a distinct, strange, and unique universe that deserves its place, and I hope it will resonate with a wider audience.”
