The latest firmware update for the Virtual Utopia servers has been released, offering a simulated experience audio-coded by london-based Bethan (@bethan_l). A luscious adventure through dreamy organics, transiently spanning downtempo to trance, all immersed in sheer chromatic layers of formless, ethereal beauty. 

Here, the water glows with an otherworldly luminescence, and the delicate ripples shimmer with a soft purity that calms the soul. You breathe deeply, the clean air surrounding you radiates a warming hum so present it's almost audible. The hum feels omnibenevolent—so harmonious it seems to stretch beyond the boundaries of the physical, vibrating in tune with a dimension where only pure energy exists.

From beneath the translucent waters, something begins to rise—a presence, a fractal unfolding of light and sound, fluid and formless, bending and shifting with the rhythm of existence. It is a living, breathing connection between the unseen and the seen, a metaphysical healer from a distant reality resonating on frequencies higher than those known in our world.
Below these quiet waters, a lotus begins to grow, its petals unfolding as it reaches for the first soft kiss of light. As it blooms, ascending from the depths, it reveals a pure, radiant beauty, untouched by the darkness below. In this moment, it becomes a whisper of awakening—rising above the shadows, embracing the light with quiet grace, a dreamlike reflection of the soul’s journey.

"The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest and most muddiest water." – Unknown, Buddhist Proverb

Hello to everyone, I'm just a music listener since I was born "1974"!!! Without music the world is wishy-washy.
I've done voice in a punk band called "Breakdown Brain" here on my land, but since invented Techno,
I follow the style with nails and teeths, thanks to Speedy J, Oscar Mulero, Chris Liebing, Plastikman, Ken Ishii, Emmanuel Top, Anthony Child, Fumiya Tanaka, Richard D. James, Autechre, OrbitalJeff Mills, Chris Knowles and all the Liberators, Guy McAffer, CJ Bolland, Green Velvet, UR, Laurent Hô, Miss Djax, N-Son-X, Daz Saund, A.Paul, DJPepo, D.A.V.E. The Drummer, FSOL, Hardfloor, Acid Junkies, Mário Roque, Jesus del Campo...
and many more...! You know what I'm talkin about!
I don't know why I never got into production and DJing, maybe one day (it's a project) ...
Thank you all for your work and good luck to everyone! Good job SoundCloud!
"LET THE MUSIC TAKE CONTROL!!!"
Thank you guys for the TECHNO I've been hearing here at SoundCloud and around the world with you ALL!!!
