Intense, sensual, and hypnotic. Through mind-numbing music blended with ethereal vocals and unconventional sound inflections, 4BLISS# strips away the pettiness of human nature, while simultaneously providing cathartic feelings.

Enter the ritual. Break the signal. Hear the unseen.
Vexed Grooves isn’t just a podcast—it’s a sonic séance. A deep dive into the esoteric heart of rhythm where sound warps perception and groove becomes spellwork. Expect serpentine flows, intricate percussive grids, and shadow-drenched beats that strike with intent.

Built as a global conduit, Vexed Grooves connects boundary-erasing DJs and producers from every corner of the underground. Each episode is a transmission—a coded signal stitching together continents, cultures, and subversive frequencies into one shared pulse.

We are the architects of sonic proximity, collapsing space through deep sound.
We are Vexed Grooves.
