Based in Sydney, Australia, newcomer Altered States is an electronic music producer fusing elements of house, ambient, world music and techno into his own original sound. Bringing us the first taste of his unique sonic vision, he shares the brand new debut single titled “Universal Children.”
Lifted off the artist’s forthcoming debut full-length record of the same name, the title track offers the first window into the musical output of this exciting new artist. With his upcoming album, he’s set to explore themes of the mind and space while showcasing the range and versatility of his sound.
“Universal Children” serves up a slick pop-focused house sound that’s brimming with danceable rhythm and uplifting aesthetic. Crafted with the intention of making a sound that’s energising and upbeat, the track is a stunning display of the producer’s creativity and sound design flair.
Brought in by the distant swell of airy instrumental tones, the dreamy intro is met with the punch of a beat that instantly injects a grooving rhythm as the shimmering pulse of synth tones and glistening lead textures collide to form a mesmeric soundscape. Adding dashes of vibrant melodic leads with floating female vocal samples, Altered States filters the soulful vocalisations and stacks overlapping layers, resulting in a hypnotic quality.
Peppered with intricate lead synth flourishes as the steady rhythm of the beat carries the listener through the transportive sonic landscape, the track is full of delicate ebb and flow that keeps the music in a constant state of flux. At once euphoric and elegant, “Universal Children” sees Altered States make an incredible entrance with a thrilling debut single.
It’s a shimmering jam that’s sure to impress electronic music fans around the world. With his debut album on the horizon, 2024 is set to be a breakout year for this exceptional new talent and his compelling dance music offering.
