After a couple of successful releases on Billegal Beats and Outtallectuals earlier this year, Poztman emerges from his sonic laboratory with an absolute behemoth of an album, totalling 19 original tracks and 15 remixes from all-stars handpicked across a multitude of genres. Truly on the top of his game, with Void Vermin Poztman delivers a stunning insider view of the sprawling cyberpunk universe living in his mind, and in magnificent high resolution. Each track a window into another facet of this tale unfolding; each track another thread expertly woven into the sonic fabric with deft precision and a masters touch.
Driving/Captivating/Emotional/Next-level-sound-design laden post club music that describes our current human trajectory well. Experimental bangers meets off kilter cyber bass. Cold and synthetic, devoid of humanity, an androids wet dream. Poztman moves through genres like a sonic ninja, slicing and cutting with superlative flow, never letting up even for a moment. Sonic mayhem ensues, a pleasurable ear assault through and through, gripping like a vice.
Void Vermin is highly dynamic, and is fully aware of itself and your place in its' story. Deep immersion and avant-garde mix ingenuity paint a vivid image in your mind's eye, at once lustfully alluring and utterly terrifying. Yet like a gruesome scene it seems impossible to part your attention elsewhere, drawn towards and inwards, mesmerized by the rhythm/hypnotized by the waves. Intensity increases towards a boiling point, rupturing senses and dominating psyche. Throbbing basslines, warping earbuds and dance floors alike, pulsing as the heartbeat of the beast known as Void Vermin, entraining you to its' jilted palpitations.
Fluorescent synthesis and neon reflections, cracks of metamorphosing static oscillating through the air, erupting into a deep oneiric experience of darkness and grandeur, debauchery and magnificence. Poztman delivers an immersive psychedelic experience like no other, a complete hyper-realized cyberpunk world that continues on unfolding more and deeper each time you choose to enter it. Void Vermin culminates into Poztman's most intricate and detailed works to date, no nuance spared in its' creation and presentation. A forward thinking, cutting edge, multi-faceted aural experience that will carry you away to a temporary neon-soaked trans-humanist existence.
