Blacklight Beat Patrol is an experimental electronic outfit from Providence, RI, merging retro synthwave vibes with glitchy futurism, breakbeat energy, and IDM intricacy. Their music crafts immersive soundscapes and chaotic rhythms that defy electronic music norms while hooking listeners with melody and mood. Often compared to boundary-pushers like Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Daft Punk, the band forges a style that nods to the past even as it blasts into the future. “Meet the Blacklight Beat Patrol” (2024), their latest album, is a vibrant sonic odyssey – packed with synth-driven storytelling, unpredictable beats, and an irreverent creative spark that sets them apart. Blacklight Beat Patrol invites all who crave the unconventional to join their neon-lit journey beyond the ordinary.

For fans of Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Clark, Com Truise, Oneohtrix Point Never, Daft Punk, deadmau5 —or anyone nostalgic for late-night radio static, broken VHS menus, while daydreaming about the infinite possibilities of the future.

Cognix (Steve)—nephew of Hollywoods Little Ricky of I Love Lucy a professional musician and cousin to a former Atlanta Hawks cheerleader—is a combat veteran and prolific author of over 17 books, whose life story reads like a modern epic. He earned his stripes and served with distinction, Steve transitioned to civilian life with the same drive and precision.

By day, he writes code—designing custom software tools that blend efficiency with creativity. By night, he crafts immersive audio experiences under his artist name Cognix. His music draws on up to 30 layers of real custom samples, real world field recordings-from orca calls to distant storm rolls—woven together in chaotically rhythmic cadences that mirror nature’s own intelligence and teamwork. 

A proud father and devoted friend, Steve survived a near‑fatal encounter overseas that deepened his belief in art’s transformative power. When he isn’t serving others, sketching track designs, or working on his next book, you’ll find him in his apartment  sampling the world around him—blending forest rain, ocean swells, and urban hum into futuristic soundscapes.

Support Cognix and become part of the journey. Your contribution helps fuel independent creativity — from upgrading equipment to producing more powerful, meaningful music. Every bit of support isn’t just appreciated — it creates real impact. When you invest in an artist, you’re helping shape the future of sound, one track at a time. Thank you for being part of something lasting.

Cognix’s work stands at the intersection of heritage and innovation: carrying his family’s creative spark into every beat, every line of code, and every story he tells.
