Influences: Nautiluss

Reflections is the Spectral Sound debut of Nautiluss, the primary project from Toronto’s Graham Bertie. His career began, as many do, with practicing mixing records in his bedroom before cutting his teeth in warehouse raves in Montreal. After many collaborations and heavy touring early in his career, Bertie has now chosen to stay in more than go out, leading to a new direction in his music.
Don’t let this lead you to believe he’s a slouch in the live department. Bertie has performed live at the influential MUTEK Festival and Panorama Bar in Berlin, showcasing his flexibility and expertise with all manner of instrumentation – analog and digital, hard and soft, improvised and structured.
He's also been found spinning at iconic clubs such as Trouw, Panorama Bar, Dance Tunnel and his favorite local grotto, Toronto’s Bambi’s, performing alongside talent such as Mike Servito, Octo Octa, and Galcher Lustwerk.
Here, the Canadian producer takes us through some of the tracks that influenced the new EP.

I could have picked any one of his tracks. I always love his combination of dusty drums and chopped transposed samples. Also his songs tend to have a non-repeating progression, they reward listeners that make it all the way to the end. I try to do that in most of my music. You definitely can hear it in Lonely Planet.
