NØRBAK — Decima LP 2x12"

Nørbak – Decima LP arrives on NRBK as catalogue NRBKLP001, a 2×12-inch vinyl set that consolidates a decade of the producer’s techno output. Framed as both a retrospective and a current statement, the release gathers the textures, influences and experimental turns that have defined Nørbak’s work over ten years, offering a cohesive portrait of his evolving sound. Within the NRBK catalogue, Decima follows the earlier outing Suave (NRBK010), also by Nørbak, situating the new double LP as a continuation of the label’s focus on forward-looking techno. The pairing of these releases underscores NRBK’s commitment to documenting the artist’s progression while maintaining a consistent aesthetic across its roster. Side A opens with “Duna”, a track that sets a deep, rolling foundation, leading directly into “Tombo”, which extends the momentum with a slightly more expansive groove. The closing cut of the side, “Septologia”, provides a subtle shift in atmosphere, offering a reflective pause before the record flips. Side B picks up with “Partida”, a piece that re-energises the set with a driving pulse, while “Corrida” sustains the kinetic flow, preparing the listener for the transition to the second disc. Disc two begins with “Tbilisi 10am”, a composition that evokes a sense of early-hour movement, its tempo and mood suited to late-night transitions. “Transforma” follows, introducing a nuanced change that keeps the energy fluid without breaking the established rhythm. The final side concludes with “Progresso”, a track that reinforces the record’s overarching theme of forward motion, and closes with “A Violent Act of Kindness”, a piece that juxtaposes intensity with a surprisingly warm undercurrent, offering a thoughtful end to the journey. Decima occupies a distinctive place in Nørbak’s discography, joining a series of recent 12-inch outings such as Verdade Absoluta EP (Mord Records, MORD091, 2026), Passo Lento (HAYES, HYSEP49, 2026), and the earlier Casa 2×12” (HAYES, HYSLP001, 2025). The progression from those releases to this double LP illustrates a deepening of his techno language, while retaining the experimental edge evident on earlier works like Ferramenta EP (PoleGroup, POLEGROUP071, 2024) and Liberdade EP (Mord Records, MORD077RP, 2023). For DJs, Decima supplies a versatile toolkit: the A-side tracks lend themselves to opening or mid-set moments where a steady, hypnotic groove is required, whereas the B-side selections are crafted for peak-time escalation or late-night introspection. The sequencing encourages seamless mixing, with each piece offering a clear point of entry or exit for extended sets. Collectors will appreciate the double-LP format, which allows the full breadth of the decade-spanning material to be experienced without compression, preserving the intended dynamics of each composition. The release is pressed as a 2×12-inch vinyl set, matching the format of Nørbak’s recent Casa 2×12” and providing ample space for the nuanced techno textures that define the record. The physical presentation aligns with the label’s aesthetic, delivering a tactile experience that complements the music’s depth.
