Originally released in 2022, Nathan Micay’s Industry Season 2 soundtrack makes a triumphant return in this reissue, further solidifying its place in the world of electronic film scores. The Toronto-born, Berlin-based composer, DJ, and producer has long been admired for his ability to bridge classical and folk music influences with contemporary electronic soundscapes. Known for his deep involvement in the post-dubstep UK dance scene, Micay transitioned into the realm of TV and film scoring with remarkable ease, crafting music that feels both futuristic and deeply human.
The Industry OST, which accompanies the British-American financial drama series, resonates with the pulse of high-stakes banking, drawing inspiration from legendary electronic composers like Tangerine Dream and Vangelis. However, Micay adds his personal touch, focusing on the internal emotions of the characters navigating London’s intense financial world. This reissue reminds us of the brilliant fusion between cinematic minimalism and club-inspired rhythms, where celestial synths mirror both the characters’ ego-driven ambitions and the slow erosion of their personal identities within the pressure cooker of corporate culture.
Micay’s 2022 score not only captured the energy of late-night hedonism in London but also spoke to the fragility of self in an overwhelming world of finance. Tracks like “Ego Death” and “Celestial Minimalism” evoke the tension between personal ambition and moral compromise. The soundtrack, rooted in electronic music, brilliantly reflects the duality of the show’s young bankers, offering both a high-energy backdrop and moments of introspective calm.
This reissue is a reminder of Nathan Micay’s evolving craft, showcasing his seamless transition from electronic dance music to the nuanced world of film and television composition. Fans of electronic music, from Jean-Michel Jarre to contemporary artists like Jon Hopkins, will appreciate the layered complexity Micay brings to Industry Season 2. His music continues to resonate deeply, making this 2022 reissue a must-listen for those who missed its initial release.
