PHYC’s Somewhere Between Life and Death doesn’t just hit play—it lifts you off the ground, spins you in zero gravity, and sends you hurtling through a kaleidoscopic techno wormhole. For a debut release on his own label, PHYC delivers five tracks that flirt with the edge of consciousness and back.
Opening with “Alice’s Lift Off,” you’re strapped in for a sci-fi joyride where sizzling basslines meet celestial bleeps. It’s the soundtrack to a rave on Mars—pure cosmic delight. Then “Percocet” swoops in, darker and moodier, with rubbery basslines bouncing off sharp percussion like sparks in a shadowy alley. Drama? Check.
Midway through, “Iroquois” shakes things up with its no-nonsense, driving groove. Circular effects ripple through the track, adding just the right amount of quirky weirdness to keep you guessing. Then “Dharma” flips the script, drawing you into its hypnotic metallic drones before dropping a stuttering kick that throbs with psychedelic menace—techno that feels like it’s alive and staring back at you.
Finally, “Flauzino” lands the EP with a bang, delivering techno purism in its rawest form. Hypnotic broken beats build and twist, layering sound upon sound until you’re not sure where the track ends and your pulse begins.
PHYC’s debut is fun, futuristic, and fearless—a sonic ride somewhere between the dance floor and deep space. If this is life and death, we’re happy to float somewhere in between. Strap in, hit play, and let PHYC take the controls.
