Vertical

Vertical delivers a masterclass in high-fidelity psychedelic trance that feels both organic and hyper-engineered. The sound is characterized by 'rubbery' synth lines that seem to stretch and snap back, layered over a driving, percussive foundation that never lets up. It is music that occupies the entire frequency spectrum, filling the room with shimmering high-end textures and deep, rolling basslines.

What sets this project apart is the Finnish 'Suomisaundi' influence filtered through a more polished, global darkpsy lens. There is a playful, almost mischievous quality to the sound design, where squelching acid leads morph into metallic chirps and liquid drips. It avoids the generic tropes of the genre by maintaining a high level of rhythmic complexity and a sense of constant forward motion.

Start with the album 'Celeste' to experience the peak of this sound. It captures the transition from late-night intensity to early-morning euphoria, making it the perfect entry point for anyone looking to understand why this artist is a staple of the international psychedelic festival circuit.
