Combining the time tested slicing and cutting of beats music with high fidelity samples and synthesis, TALEX explores a sensual, melodic side to his artistry in his Transendence EP. It's a choice switch-up from his previous offerings of neuro-hop and heavy-handed glitch production, showcasing his evolving depth of musical character.

In contrast with rhythmic focus of Anti-Gravity, Transendence has a strong monopoly on polytones and rich chord phrasing. Channeling moody atmospheres with rock solid tones and saturated sub bass, it’s a vibrant soul record that eschews leaning too far into synthesis and surface-layer effects. The individual tracks themselves feature a number of repetive patches and textures that makes the EP feel like a set of chapters in a succinct novella, using auditory allusion to bridge the gap from song to song. The entire release adds a fresh, soulful spin to the ongoing TALEX collection, diversifying an early discography with a strong assortment of varied takes and styles.

The various topical blends of beats music each have their distinct flavors and hues, and TALEX takes a page from a handful of stylistic directions to craft a full-spectrum EP that shines a light on strong note relationships and harmonic phrasing. In a bit under a year, we've gotten back to back renditions of TALEX's burgeoning aural attitude, and the genre spread across his limited catalog already has us bright eyed and zeroed in on what new mechanations may come over the horizon.
