Appendix.files presents Eternal Game, the latest EP from Teleself, the project of Berlin-based producer Jordan Nason. A journey through the emotive undercurrents of 90s downtempo rave, steady breakbeats, and trip-hop influences, Eternal Game captures a nostalgia-tinged exploration of sound and self. Across six tracks, Teleself weaves big beats, introspective atmospheres, and cinematic textures into a release that feels as at home in a smoky backroom as it does in sprawling, dreamlike landscapes.

Opening with enigmadub, Teleself sets the stage with over seven minutes of trippy, big-room energy—triumphant, hypnotic, and as if plucked from the soundtracks of The Matrix or Blade. everything follows, layering Alona Verzun’s ethereal vocals over steady, polished grooves for an atmospheric six-minute reverie. Title track eternal game shifts gears, evoking the slowed-down, syrupy aesthetic of DJ Krush but pairing it with emotive melodic elements, immersing the listener in a nostalgic montage of self-reflection.

On cartilage, Teleself leans into darker territory, blending boom-bap rhythms with Mob Deep-style aggression, while weaving in trap and Detroit techno influences for a sinister, kinetic cut. The energy eases with all around you, which delivers a halftime sway infused with rich, textured atmospheres that feel like a deep exhale. Closing track fireworks in the garden of eden is a stunning finale—a transcendent journey that lives up to its name, as lush soundscapes evoke an ascent into the ether, hand in hand with everyone you’ve ever known and loved.
