Joe Gilling Conceptually apt, dark, thought-provoking. Sonically, Cyphon consistently shows off the richest analogue synth sounds around, in combination of course with superb beatmaking. Favorite track: Virtual Utopia.

about

Unlike any of Earth’s other species that have toiled across its soils throughout the millennia, Homo Deus was designed, not evolved.

Through a rigorous process of artificial selection Homo Sapiens steadily stripped itself from its organic origins. Laying down a gauntlet to the old gods, man and woman strove towards becoming the new gods.

The New Flesh was of course not a such a comfortable fit in its first iterations, the prototypes served as experiments for the blueprints of the future. Willingly, the last of a dying species sacrificed everything they had known for a chance to survive in the new wilderness. For a chance to continue developing, to continue innovating and to continue dominating. Alas, through the suffering of the prototypes the technology was eventually perfected.

Within the upgraded conversion process the consciousnesses of the bourgeoises were placed within Virtual Utopias, dimensions of bliss and plenty. The diseased, the veterans and the proletariat would not receive access to such treatments. Abandoned by their masters for the final time, the last punishment for generations of apathy.

For the undesirables, their only hope was with the Black-Market Cyborgs, who replaced hastily amputated limbs with outdated cybernetic prosthetics. Such was the state of the world, this was a necessity of survival for the poor, rather than the celestial ascendancy of the wealthy. Farms turned to barren wastelands, the blue ocean to a toxic sludge, and in the cities the tenement buildings incrementally crumbled down to their foundations.

Hospitals turned to morgues, dancefloors to Ghost Clubs. Such was the age of the Anthropocene, which would prove to be the last act of Gaia’s epic. For a soul retains but a fraction of the capability of a hard-drive, and for Homo Sapiens it was never a matter of whether they should, but how they could.
