Episode 155 landed, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to depart!
Knox Avery – “I’m Built 4 This”
Knox Avery’s first single, “I’m Built 4 This”, is a debut that blends human intention with AI refinement in a way that feels quite thoughtful. Written and produced by real people, then carefully shaped with AI, the track lands as a powerful statement about resilience and inner strength.
The track sits in that sweet spot between pop, soul, and gospel influence. With a steady and supportive beat, it never overpowers the message, while the arrangement keeps things clean and focused. Definitely not trying to impress here, the song moves with calm confidence, letting its emotion build naturally.
The lyrics are the focus here: it’s all about getting back up when life hits hard. Themes of recovery, faith, and perseverance come through with honesty, without tipping into preaching. It feels relatable, like a reminder you didn’t know you needed rather than advice being handed down.
The track is seamlessly balanced between human and AI.. The heart is unmistakably human, and the tech simply sharpens the edges. “I’m Built 4 This” works as a low-key anthem for anyone pushing through, and it makes for a strong, meaningful debut!
Coaxial – “Redux Trilogy”
Instead of chasing immediacy, Coaxial takes the long route on “Redux Trilogy”, unfolding a project that feels more like an environment than a traditional release. We are dropped into a world of looping synths from the first track, with tape-worn textures, and subtle rhythmic drift that never kind of never settles.. and that’s the point.
The trilogy thrives on tension between control and erosion. Repetition becomes incredibly hypnotic, patterns slowly misalign, and tiny imperfections start to feel massive the longer you sit with them. There’s a load of movement here, but it’s internal, pulling your focus inward rather than pushing for obvious peaks.
We really loved the sounds here. You can almost feel the machinery at work: tape breathing, tones fraying at the edges, drones swelling and thinning in real time. It’s extremely minimal, but packed with intent.
This incredible project isn’t trying to be easy or instantly rewarding. It asks for attention, patience, and presence, and if you give it that, it opens up into something quietly immersive, unsettling, and weirdly addictive.
EGGER – “The People”
EGGER brings us the single “The People,” pushing deeper into the shadows and coming out sharper, bolder, and way more commanding than before. The track wastes no time here; that pounding, steady kick drum locks in immediately, giving the whole thing a hypnotic, almost ceremonial drive. It feels like movement with purpose, like you’re being pulled forward whether you’re ready or not.
The track leans hard into that late-80s dark electro-pop mood: cold synth lines, stripped-back production, and just enough atmosphere to make it glow in the dark. But it’s not retro for the sake of it.. it feels focused and intentional. Minimal, yes, but never empty.
The vocals have a very unique style: the repetition of “They run again” hits like a mantra, getting stuck in your mind! The lyrics tap into that restless, collective tension, chasing meaning, running from silence, searching for something bigger.
This is a moody, danceable, and low-key intense track proving that EGGER isn’t just experimenting, he’s carving out his own dark, magnetic lane.
SYLL – “Council Culture”
Straight out the gate, “Council Culture” feels like a statement piece rather than just a normal tune. SYLL doesn’t waste time dressing things up; instead, he dives straight into the heart of council estate life with clarity, pride, and zero filter. The production carries that nostalgic 80s/90s hip-hop energy, but it’s got a modern weight to it too, giving the track a solid, head-nod groove that hits just right, and a bass that’s ready to slap your face!
What we loved about this one is the storytelling. SYLL breaks down the realities of growing up in Moss Side: the pressure, the setbacks, the community spirit, all without leaning into cliché. It’s not about glorifying the struggle or painting it bleak for drama. It’s balanced. It’s human. It’s proper lived experience.
His flow is calm but confident, like someone who knows exactly what they’re talking about because they’ve walked it. We can feel pride here, but also reflection. This wonderful single challenges the lazy stereotypes with substance, not noise: authentic, grounded, and full of heart.
ESTRADA Music Project – “Sign the form”
Some songs hit hard because of the beat, but “Sign the Form” hits hard because of what it carries. With this track, ESTRADA Music Project dives into the emotional weight doctors face when life-or-death decisions land on a single signature.
The production is stripped right back: drum machine, heavily distorted guitar, and these really cool retro synths with a minimal setup that makes it feel quite intense. The guitar growls, the synths haunt you, and the rhythm goes like quiet anxiety. It’s tense without being dramatic for the sake of it. You can feel the silence in the spaces between sounds, literally.
Vocally and emotionally, there’s this sense of responsibility woven through the track. It doesn’t preach, it doesn’t oversell, but just sits with the gravity of the moment. Knowing it’s written from real-life experience adds another layer; we think it’s theory, but it’s lived pressure.
“Sign the Form” is raw, reflective, and deeply human, a track that shows that heavy subject matter, but handled with heart and serious authenticity.
Low Tide Signals – “Orbital Feelings”
There’s a quiet pull to “Orbital Feelings” that you notice before you even understand it. Low Tide Signals builds the track on space and restraint, letting soft synths and a mellow piano do the emotional heavy lifting. Nothing rushed or overcrowded. It just drifts: steady, patient, and kind of hypnotic.
The production has a light atmosphere, with airy pads and a solid drum pattern that feels like it’s circling something unseen. It’s ambient-leaning electronic, sure, but there’s a warmth underneath the cool surface. The melodies hover, and that hovering feeling perfectly mirrors the theme, being caught in the gravity of a love you can’t quite step away from.
The vocals are the cherry on top, with a stunning extension range; they hit home straight away. There’s no dramatic drop, no big cinematic payoff. Instead, the track accepts the orbit. It just exists in that emotional space and lets you float there with it.
Late-night headphones vibes all the way. Calm, reflective, and incredibly addictive.
