Bergsonist

Bergsonist is the project of Selwa Abd, a New York-based artist originally from Morocco who began releasing music in 2019. Abd operates under the Bergsonist alias and runs the self-titled Bergsonist label, which serves as one of the primary outlets for the project's releases. Since the debut release in January 2019, Bergsonist has maintained consistent output with 13 releases through November 2024.

Bergsonist's sound spans house and peak time driving techno, with releases appearing on respected labels including Where To Now?, Optimo Music, Börft Records, and Optimo Music Digital Danceforce. The project incorporates electronica and downtempo elements alongside the harder techno productions, creating a range that moves from experimental electronic textures to dancefloor-focused driving rhythms. Abd's approach draws from minimal techno and industrial techno influences, resulting in productions that work equally in club settings and more contemplative listening environments.
