Nicolas Viana 'State Of Mind' on Peace Symphonies

Nicolas Viana's 'State Of Mind' is the second release of the year for Peace Symphonies, arriving on 12 January 2024. The track's strength lies in the percussion: a busy, rolling surface of drums and shakers that carries the ear forward, while the melodic elements sit back beneath it, offering colour rather than commanding the stage.

That balance makes for a record that feels immediate and physical, the kind of groove that locks in and doesn't let go. It is the kind of organic house that works well in a long set, where texture and rhythm matter more than any single hook.

The record was included in Volen Sentir's 'Blurred' chart for February, where it sat at second, just behind his own 'Blurredub' with Gorje Hewek, and it stands as another sign of the close relationship between the Peace Symphonies camp and the wider organic house community.
