Experimental / Abstract IDM / Leftfield Electronica A fractured descent into the unsettled space between intimacy and disconnection. Lovers But Not Lovers - Fragments Mix is cold, negative, and dark-toned, built on rapid 170 BPM percussive patterns and shifting layers of ghostlike synth modulation. Emotional dynamics stay intentionally low, giving the track a detached, uneasy atmosphere that never quite resolves. Sonically it sits in the intersection between: * DJ Food’s dub-drenched, dislocated rhythms, * Radiohead’s mechanical anxiety on “Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors,” * and the psychological abrasion of Mudvayne’s L.D. 50 era. Frequent percussion and electronic drums keep everything in unstable motion, while male vocal fragments appear and disappear like corrupted memories. A piece made from shards, broken rhythm, splintered emotion, and cold repetition.

Key: F minor
Genre: Ambient / Electronic / Abstract IDM / Leftfield

DESCRIPTION

CARBON is a slow-burn descent into tension, a dark, textural electronic piece that blends icy atmospheres with fractured rhythm and shadow-soaked sound design. Built in F minor at 81 BPM, the track crawls forward with a steady, medium-energy pulse while the emotional tone stays deliberately negative, eerie, and unstable.

Glacial pads and resonant synth drones shape the horizon, while frequent percussion and electronic drums carve out a mechanical heartbeat. The sound palette remains raw and unpolished by intent, an echo of early 2000s experimental electronic, fused with modern abstract IDM sensibilities.

CARBON sits sonically between:

Richard Devine – synthetic tension + percussive detail

Pan Sonic – cold minimalism + menacing low-end

Khost – evolving drone textures + oppressive atmosphere

Semizeu / Power Noise– darker rhythmic moments and pulse-driven menace

The result is a track that feels dark, scary, and quietly menacing, built for late-night listening, dystopian visuals, and heavy cinematic moods.

Carbon

A new one from ARCANE ASYLUM.
Fast. Cold. Aggressive.
It Gets Colder In Hell pushes into darker, more abrasive territory 146 BPM, breakbeat pressure, distorted bass, and icy synth layers that never let up. Negative emotion, low dynamics, high energy.
Curious what you hear in it.

It Gets Colder In Hell - Alighieri Mix

ARCANE ASYLUM - LOVE HATE
05:07 | 150 BPM | D minor
Experimental / Soundtrack / Dark Electronic

A tense, cinematic surge of negative emotion and industrial pressure.

LOVE HATE moves like a psychological chase scene unfolding in slow chaos: distorted electric guitars cut through thick synth drones, heavy electronic drums fire in controlled bursts, and a deep negative tone hangs over everything. High energy, low emotional dynamics, a feeling of motion without resolution, like being pulled forward by something you can’t see.

Sound-wise, it sits in the space between Clark’s mechanical brutality, Mouse On Mars’ broken rhythmic play, Ulver’s dark cinematic tension, and the angular intensity of Amon Tobin and Pan Sonic.
Fast, tense, abrasive, but deeply atmospheric.

Bass: partial, shifting

Electric guitar: frequent, cutting, textural

Percussion + electronic drums: frequent, sharp

Synthesizers: throughout, atmospheric and cold

Vocals: low-profile male fragments buried like distant signals

A clash of extremes, the push and pull of connection, conflict, desire, and disruption.
A soundtrack for internal warfare.
