Jvox :: Beat Universe (Component)
Beat Universe feels like Man Is A Machine’s long-lost eccentric cousin dropping in to say, “hey, I’m still here,” and re-establishes a vision of electrified hip-hop as only Jvox navigates so well after all these years.

Polar Code is a deeply grounded icy synthesized orchestration covered by futuristic, sci-fi cyber-like electronic tones as well as treated acoustic timbres and deep audio moves.

A mélange of diverse genres and multidirectional sounds competing for their own unique expansions. As a thorough collection of the artist’s sonic movements, The tower undoubtedly flows at its own pace.
Icky Reels :: FIND YA GURL EP (Self Released)
