Childov, the rising electronic music artist, has just released his latest EP titled "Roots." 
The EP features three tracks, "1288," "Voodoo," and "WRK THT," that showcase Childov's unique style blending elements of techno, house, and experimental sounds. 

"Voodoo" is a darker and more mysterious track that features haunting vocals and an ominous bassline while "1288" takes listeners on a hypnotic journey with its pulsing beats and atmospheric synths. 
Finally, "WRK THT" rounds out the EP with its driving percussion and intricate melodies. With "Roots," Childov proves once again that he is a force to be reckoned with in the electronic music scene.

ROOTS EP /// KD RAW

Childov - Voodoo (Original Mix) - KD RAW 094

Embracing Midgar's story-tale approach, 'Da Nao Tian Gong' (also known as 'Havoc in Heaven') stands as https://soundcloud.com/polygonia's latest four-track EP. Lindsey Wang draws direct influence from a beloved childhood cartoon, itself inspired by the ancient Chinese legend 'Journey to the West' and the iconic character Sun Wukong. In a retro-modern twist, the tracks vividly depict Sun Wukong's essence: 'Jindou Yun' embodies the swiftness of his cloud, 'Shen Wai Shenfa' invokes his magical hair with tribal rhythms, 'Ruyi Jingu Bang' mirrors his legendary staff's power, and 'Disha Shu' portrays his 72 Transformations through vibrant harmonics.

A1 Kaspiann - Moraalivesi
A2 Kaspiann - Metsätutka
B1 VC-118A & Kaspiann - 510
B2 VC-118A & Kaspiann - Sea of Cities

Exploring deeper strains of club music from his home base in Helsinki, Kaspiann presents the
latest transmission on VALA alongside frequent collaborator VC-118A. Samuel van Dijk previously
adopted his deep techno guise Multicast Dynamics for a joint track with Kaspiann on VALA 1, and
now he switches stance to his celebrated VC-118A alias to bring an elegant kind of electro to this
EP. It’s a style which also informs Kaspiann’s solo work on ‘Moraalivesi’, which upholds the
producer’s patient, meditative sound palette while toying with crooked electro rhythms. It’s
‘Metsätutka’ where he locks into a driving 4/4 propulsion adorned with subtle electro-acoustic
percussion and a keen sense of space.

On the collaborative tracks with van Dijk there’s a greater sense of head-tweaking electro setting
the tone, embracing a tightly wound framework as a vessel for richly rendered soundscapes just
past the foreground machine funk activity. If ‘510’ is a subtly deep, industrially-tinged workout, ‘Sea
Of Cities’ shifts the focus slightly to toy with melodic elements more wholeheartedly, creating an
emotional kind of sonic futurism in the grand tradition of electro soul.

Final experiment
Parallel convergence, two realities fold
As we intersplice
Cyborge and biorganic
And awaken the spirit in the circuit

Blinketh into life
Parsing reality - speedrun the backup
Query: all good?

Biocyborganism detects temporal disruption
Confused by own existence
Mistrusting sensor data

Parallel convergence indicated, disarray likely
Caustic degradation of temporal structure
Take evasive action to preserve function-
Query: what is function?
Query: what am i?

[OP003] Altjira - Flux Serpent (Digi + Merch)

Cavernous expanses and dizzying edifices are deftly traversed across the five tracks of Blank Aperture. Sentient’s latest for https://soundcloud.com/qeone taps into the gloomier side of his sensibility, breaking through sultry ambience with sporadic hits of sub-bass pressure.

Premiere: Sentient - Void Treader [QNE012]

Every sequence has consequences.

sqnc:cnsqnc was born from this simple idea;
write with a more rhythmic approach.

After two years of sound design and ethereal exploration,
this project marks a deliberate and lasting return to sequenced composition.

It explores a radical minimalism through cyclic patterns,
fast kicks, and sharp clips,
balanced with organic, unsequenced ambiances and textures.

It is also an attempt to infuse the free-party soundscape
(heard in the intro and in the hard, distorted kicks of certain tracks)
into a radical, rhythmic, and minimalist approach to composition.

Deeply rooted in IDM, techno, tribe, hi-tech, and breakcore,
this record focuses on movement and variation in listening
while maintaining a heady, repetitive energy.
