With fervent supporters including Flume, Aphex Twin, Flying Lotus, Questlove, DJ Shadow, Diplo, Bassnectar, Craze, Rustie, and more, EPROM&#8217;s sonic stylings feature a wide range of elements from acid-tinged hip-hop to searing garage mutations, ingeniously crafted synth and drum patterns, and even bizarre sound medleys that are utterly indescribable. <\/p>\n<p>Today, EPROM invites us back into his world with a brand new EP titled &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/deadbeats.lnk.to\/Aikon\">AIKON<\/a>&#8216; via Deadbeats. The long-awaited EP features five new EPROM tracks, including a collaboration with G Jones on &#8220;Daemon Veil.&#8221; A project in the works for over a year, &#8216;AIKON&#8217; sees EPROM delve back into his trademark sound while pushing the envelope as he experiments along the way. Standout cuts like &#8220;Shirow Softworks&#8221; hear EPROM construct a conglomerate of trip-hop inspired beats and melodic synth concoctions that as standalone features seem unrelated, but are woven together in such a way that creates a complex and heady soundscape. &#8220;Hope&#8221; adversely kicks things up a notch as EPROM tries his hand at bass-laden rave music, fusing together elements of throwback breakbeat and electronica \u00e0 la The Prodigy, with his own masterfully designed touches. <\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Each tune represents a unique point in my trajectory,&#8221;<\/em> explains EPROM. <em>&#8220;For me, this release represents a step onto a bigger stage. I have always been reluctant to fully embrace the ethos of dance music, so I have previously kept my work underground, and to a certain degree, intentionally inaccessible. This EP is my take on pure rave music.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fans can catch EPROM live in the coming months with a number of upcoming shows including Bassrush at Exchange LA on November 21, aboard Friendship in Miami on January 6, and at Montreal&#8217;s Igloofest on February 8.
