Swedish veteran with his signature electrifying futuristic fusion of Proto-Techno, Acid, and Electro, builds an immersive, introspective, and sensorial soundscape churned by relentless dim squiggly bass lines joined with terse crisp beats and lonely flickering strains, engulfed by a cold blanketing of supernatural synth expansions, to lift the listener into an uncanny trance-like state.

Packed with driving, atmospheric and hypnotic high intensity, the first uplifting foretaste frees an emotive, melody-rich build-up that locks into a vibrant groove built on a tensely elastic bubbly bass loop, along with steady punchy drums and subtly squelchy tones, dusted with glowing ephemeral synth chimes, to keep the simmering trance-out dancefloor momentum.
- Paris/London ambient /breaks /dubstep /jungle /drum & bass production duo Beatrice M. & Tim Reaper “Biota” off “Robot / Biota” EP
