N/UM is a New York-based live electronic trio using analog synthesizers and drum machines, guitar, voice, and modular synths in live composition. The trio are regarded as modern pioneers of electronic live music with their fully improvised sets that create a truly genre-bending experience.
Each performance or recording by N/UM is unique and improvised, with no pre-composed songs, no plan, and no agreed structure. The group unites three longtime friends with a deep passion for electronic music: multi–Grammy Award-winning audio engineer and producer Jeremy Loucas, guitarist Elias Meister (of rap group Residente / Calle 13), and Danish multi-instrumentalist/producer/DJ Emil Bovbjerg (VAVAV). Having recorded and performed together in different formations for over a decade, they’ve emerged as a solid unit capable of capturing major dance floors worldwide—bringing improvisation into spaces where it’s rarely heard: festivals, clubs, and underground warehouses.
N/UM has recorded live sets for Mixmag, Ibiza Global Radio, and Deep House London. Their performances include Robot Heart, Resolute, Art With Me Miami, Fusion Festival, Cityfox Live, Movement Detroit, and Mutek Montréal. Recent shows include Cityfox Halloween and New Year’s Eve, Sisyphos (Berlin), SAT Dome (Montreal), and Antik (Costa Rica). To date, they’ve released seven albums/EPs, four of them on vinyl (including BKS-04, a vinyl-only release with Ohm Hourani).
