“Still Plugged In” is a simple, synth-focused track. The minimal approach allows the track’s elements to breathe and creates a hypnotic groove. The rhythm drives everything forward until midway where occult, haunting hums take charge and weave in and out until the track’s elements slowly crumble.

The track’s title refers to the idea of someone physically dying but maintaining consciousness with a pseudo-realization that they just spent a lifetime in the matrix and are now free, but they are actually “still plugged in” as they only transcended one matrix to land into another one.

About the release:

This piece of work is a carefully curated mix of innovative, genre-bending electronic music. As eclectic as it is, the whole compilation has a strong analog overtone and stays true to the label’s raw hypnotic sound and ethos of experimentation, visibility, and inclusivity. It is a true showcase that electronic music and the label span genres, sexual orientations, gender identity, race, and geography.
