These four tracks have been in the making for well over a year; a year spent revisiting, reviving, and reinvigorating them with much love and care. These are some of my most emotional works, focusing more on the flow of tension and release rather than on technicality or pure experimentation.

The word “visceral” references deep emotion and intuition, in contrast to logic or reason. Placed next to “planet” in the title of this work, it exemplifies our Earth’s tendency to act intuitively and express its innermost fire. Its creatures are driven by instinct and are fueled by palpable, deep-rooted feeling.

~ The dream state is a part of consciousness in which we can experience emotion, often without limitations imposed by logic. “Dewdrop” is a nod to a song by Cocteau Twins, whose music reverberates through the depths of my own dreams, and whose ethereal influence is felt subtly throughout this body of work. Likewise, we are able to manifest these dreams into waking life and orchestrate our own soundtrack.

~ The title track is a convergence of our planet’s elemental emotions: its nurturing soil, mournful winds, cleansing rain, and eruptions of fire. It lives through these with vehemence, and vulnerability; both polarities are expressed in this track.

~ Our reality is built upon the fundamental fabric of space-time, which itself is not concrete, but flows, warps, and wobbles in a dance with the masses of our Universe. Earth’s mere existence creates a distortion in the geometry of this fabric.

~ Our planet rides along the grooves of the sun’s distortions. Sunlight begets all life on our planet, and is our source of light and warmth. This final track encapsulates the sparkling radiance of our star and the way its heat blankets us, and how it creates an impression on us both physically and emotionally.

ORIGINAL TUNES

Since its release in 2018, my staple tune “Sodapop Sizzler” has made its presence on soundsystems across the country, quenching the thirsts of bubbly bass enthusiasts and ASMR fans alike. Now, three years in the future, I've injected the classic beverage with a fresh dose of carbonation and flavor, resizing its dubstep skeleton into an 85-bpm container. Slurp up this VIP through a reusable straw of your choice, letting it tickle your tastebuds & tympanic membranes, and treat yourself to a crisp glass of Slaycub this summer.

Sodapop Sizzler VIP

Imagine you are a meteor. 

You’re mingling among the stars, drifting through the cold, dark vacuum of space. However, your trajectory is set for planet Earth, and contact is imminent.

You begin to feel warm, and then suddenly very hot. You enter the atmosphere and catch fire, now blazing through the sky towards the ocean at terminal velocity. You brace for impact and crash into the surface, transferring much of your kinetic energy into huge waves that ripple outwards for miles.

Immediately underwater, it’s peaceful, for a short while. But as you descend into the darker depths of the sea, you encounter the chaotic, alien scenes of unknown creatures that inhabit it - strange lifeforms that slither and pulse and wobble across your field of vision and off into the abyss. 

As you drift deeper and deeper, the electric sparks and bioluminescent glows become fewer and further between. You approach a familiar cold darkness that reminds you of your origins beyond the boundary of this planetary bubble; a kind of space, indeed, now aquatic rather than cosmic.

And you can’t help but wonder… did anyone else come along for the ride?

Shponky Shpiggle [The Untz Challenge IX Submission]

This is a fun higher-energy track using carbonated fizz and bubble wrap sounds. It was first dropped by Mystic Grizzly in his Fractal Beach set, and has since been a little updated and mastered.

Drop a comment of what you think, and thanks for listening. Much love <3

Slaycub - Sodapop Sizzler

This is a very special one to me. It was first written over Christmas break, and eventually became my semester-long project at school, which opened the opportunities to record acoustic percussion as well as a live string quartet; the school brought 4 members of the Florida Orchestra to campus and each student recorded them as part of their own projects. I used the recordings in this track, and it brought the song to a higher level. Very thankful for the opportunities I was provided.

Drop a comment of the feels that you feel, and thanks for listening. Much love <3

87bpm track I started at the beginning of summer, grew and evolved into this final product. Influenced by Tipper and Jade Cicada as you might expect, tried to do a little Tsimba-style synth in there too

Tell me where your mind goes when listening to this :)

Visionary Shamanics from Europe reached out to me wanting to include Forest Frequency in a compilation of theirs, so I cleaned up the year-old project and wrote a whole new second half. This is the mastered result, enjoy :)

This is the mastered re-upload of a track that I originally posted in late 2017. It comes through a lot nicer now and I'm hoping this gets a little more love. Enjoy <3

Cavernous Chant [OUT NOW on Visionary Shamanics Records]

This track is over a year old, but I did a few touch-ups recently and wanted it to share it with you. It's heavily reggae-inspired and has some old-school wobbles in it, enjoy :)

The vocal samples are from an interview with Jamaican reggae artist Runkus and his father, Determine (whose voice I used). His message is of staying positive, loving people, and loving music.

This track is out now on "Visionary Worlds 3", a compilation by Visionary Shamanics Records. You can listen to the whole compilation on Bandcamp by clicking on the Free Download button :)

Runkus Riddim

Runkus Riddim [OUT NOW on Visionary Shamanics Records]

Initiated by the energetic shockwave of a nearby pulsar, the dimension you inhabit begins to split - and with it, your bearings on reality. Your perception of time duplicates (or does it halve itself?) and amidst the rapid change in environment, you're unaware of your trajectory, headed directly for the ticking time-bomb of a supernova...

Slaycub - Dimension Splitter

Few creatures in this Universe can survive the cataclysmic force of a supanova. Among them are cockroaches, the inexplicably resilient insect most populous on Earth, but of unknown extraterrestrial origin. You mingle amongst a cloud of them from the safety of your state-of-the-art space capsule. The momentum from the blast carries you and your zappy friends away to begin your next astronomical adventure...

Slaycub - Cockroaches

Huuuuge ups to the Noisia boys for featuring my track "Cockroaches" on their latest Noisia Radio episode! As a religious listener it has been a personal goal of mine to get a track played on this show. Grateful to be able to check that one off the bucket list 🙏

Mindspring Music presents: Slaycub - Visceral Planet [MSM102]

Slaycub's new EP with four tracks that have been in the making for well over a year; a year spent revisiting, reviving, and reinvigorating them with much love and care. These are some of his most emotional works, focusing more on the flow of tension and release rather than on technicality or pure experimentation.

Placed next to “planet” in the title of this work, it exemplifies our Earth’s tendency to act intuitively and express its innermost fire.

-----------------------------------------
Slaycub is the all-encompassing music project of Jacob Höglind, an artist communicating his ideas through the limitless medium of electronic music, not tethered to any one subgenre. Driven by experimentation, the goal of the project is to be an ever-expanding exploration of human expression, and to further the possibilities of sound and its vicarious messages.

What has drawn him to the psychedelic realm of music is the dichotomy of dreamy and fiery elements coexisting. An intimate love for ambient music fuses with deep fascination for sound design and world-building, the result a catalog of exquisite creations. Each Slaycub set is a journey through the full spectrum of electronic music, applying his imagination to drum & bass, IDM, psydub, glitch hop, psytrance, deep 140, and blissed-out downtempo. 

His productions have been rinsed at Tipper & Friends, Okeechobee, Sound Haven, EDC, Solasta, and many other festivals around the country. He hopes to continue spreading his frequencies to the far reaches of the planet, and beyond.
