First Day Of Summer

Hello. I understand our absence has been long for you- for us, however, it has been a very short time since the end of Losers Round 1. I hope the output of tracks in the past month have mitigated this issue.

I am here to inform that you that Barnacle Boy, the second ordered contestant in CHANCE, has decided to part ways with us. This was not a decision I intend to push back against; the current environment does not suit his needs and it is beneficial for him to head home now that his time in bracket has concluded. He may still receive tracks, but he will not be intermingling with the rest of the cast any further. I will be informing the rest of the cast shortly.

Thank you for your patience. Well wishes to Barnacle Boy. May we meet again someday.

“Are ya ready, kids? Speculation was present that Eugene Krabs was a robot, but we never expected to have the living proof in our clutches. Dubbing itself KRAB BORG EX, this unusual automaton seeks to serve the competition at a frankly offensive price. Can this robot be used in our favour, or does it belong in the trash?”

bitter sweet

Heartbeat

A pulse that flows through body, mind, and spirit.

Heartbeat is more than an album — it is a sonic journey. Across ten tracks that move between the intimate and the expansive, Chaosdelic translates the invisible rhythm that connects us all: the universal heartbeat.

From the cosmic glow of Celestial Pulse to the soaring energy of Radiant Horizon, through the introspective delicacy of Glass Soul and the cathartic explosion of Infinite Rise, the album maps out a path that carries the listener between light and shadow, silence and eruption, body and transcendence.

Its sound blends layers of melodic house, atmospheric textures, and ethereal synthesizers, creating a continuous flow that is both dancefloor-ready and deeply spiritual. Each track is its own heartbeat, but together they form a sacred frequency: a cycle of ascension, release, and rebirth.

Heartbeat is, at its core, an invitation: to feel life in its purest vibration, where every sound is a reminder that we are still alive, dancing to the rhythm of eternity.

Infinite Rise
