’Permutation Djinn’, the first of the two EPs inspired by Greg Egan’s sci-fi novel ‘Permutation City’ is out now:

The EP has been receiving solid support from Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6Music with multiple spot plays of the track ‘Woke Up As A Copy’. Besides getting great DJ feedback, the track was also featured on Lucy’s FACT mix as well as been reviewed by FAZE Magazine in Germany.
The second EP of the series: ‘Permutation City’  will be released later this year.

Egan’s novel explores a far future scenario where mankind uploads their consciousness onto computers. Bougaïeff’s interpretation on ‘Permutation Djinn’ attempts to translate the stages of the novel into music while respecting the constraints of making club friendly tracks.
The titles of the tracks allude to various mental states the character goes through, from waking up in the simulated room, realising the shutdown functions have been disabled, speaking with his flesh-and-blood original and finally assessing the inevitability of his situation.
The opener ‘Woke Up As A Copy’ is an expansive track with Blade Runneresque metallic reverberations. ‘Panic Time Tryout’ is a peak time cut, fostering the futurist atmosphere with an unsettling melody.‘Little Djinn’ is the most frenetic of the tracks whilst ‘No Escape’ takes it back to peak time with resounding drums and drills.
 
You can buy your digital copy on ITunes or all the major digital stores, as well as online vinyl shops.
