Premiere: d. towärds – my mind

London-based experimental vanguard SORN gear up to drop their fifth artefact ‘Rephlex’, a shape-shifting suite of tracks from the Samara-based alchemist d. towärds.

As the title cheekily implies, this is more than a nod, it’s a lovingly unhinged detour through the slippery hall of mirrors that is the Rephlex Records legacy, reconfigured for post-club meditation. Across five meticulously corroded cuts, ‘Rephlex’ swerves through a spectral corridor of dub-smeared abstractions, gelatinous IDM textures and electro relics scraped from some future-primitive excavation. These aren’t tracks so much as transmissions: half-decayed, half-reborn, laced with interference and industrial phantoms.

For our premiere, we zoom in on ‘my mind’ – a woozy descent into percussive mirage and psychoacoustic trickery. The track opens with slippery, delay-drenched drums that slither like AI serpents in a low-gravity ritual. Hiss-stained textures ripple in the periphery, while submerged low-end pressure keeps things anchored to the earth’s core, or at least somewhere beneath it.

As the piece evolves, it mutates into a chrome-dipped hybrid of electro and ancient drone, suggesting the breath of unseen biomechanical fauna roaming deep, moss-cloaked networks. Listening feels like stumbling across a buried satellite still transmitting emotional code, flickering with the echoes of something once human.

‘Rephlex‘ EP is scheduled for release 28th April via SORN. Order a copy from Bandcamp.
