His sophomore album, "RAT RACE", hailed as a collection of "horizon-broadening masterpieces" (muzic.nz), garnered significant attention, with the single "High Hopes" earning coveted placements on Spotify's New Music Friday AU/NZ and Top Shelf Electronic playlists.
Following the release of his dark and dreamy take on Elton John's "Your Song”, n1ghtmar3cat is gearing up for an exciting 2025 with a series of singles on the horizon. Drawing inspiration from the atmospheric depth of Mansionair, the moody electronics of The Weeknd and Banks, and the innovative production of Flume, n1ghtmar3cat continues to sculpt compelling sonic worlds that invite repeated exploration.
