Nirosta Steel's 'MY SKYSCRAPER' Is Forty Years of Disco, Poured Like Velvet
Most albums document a moment; MY SKYSCRAPER documents a practice. Built from recordings spanning roughly forty years — reworked, revisited, treated as works forever-in-progress — Nirosta Steel’s velvety disco blurs its own timeline until vintage and current become the same warm thing.

The Production & Mix
The Low-End: Classic disco discipline — bass that walks rather than stomps, mixed round and soft-edged. “Velvety” is the consensus adjective and the low end is where the velvet lives.
The Spatial Dynamics: Because the source material spans eras, the textures do too: different rooms, different tape, different decades, seamed together so smoothly the joins become part of the groove.
Standout Performance
The editorial ear. Curating and reworking forty years of your own material without nostalgia or clutter is a performance in itself — fluid artistry expressed as patience.
Why It’s Certified
Records made this way usually feel like archives. This one feels like a night out that’s been going, quietly and gorgeously, since the early ’80s — and you’re welcome to walk in whenever.
