We recently featured Killing$pree as he took us on a spiritual trip with the dynamic and psychedelic composition, Ephemerals, so naturally, we were curious to hear his latest release, DEMONCODE, and couldn’t wait to share our experience.

Drawing us in with a cerebral but melodic synth energy with the emergence of atmospheric break-beats, detailed with astral ad-libs, Killing$pree opens DEMONCODE with the ferocity and electronica-mastery that we have come to expect from the visionary producer.

There is drama infused into the track with a brooding melancholic bassline accompanying the textured beat and celestial nuances. The ebbs and flows are refined, and we appreciate the pounding energy that invites us to move our bodies. It’s sonically perfect for a gym work out, or an action scene from a movie like Deadpool, or perhaps even a sequel to Limitless.

An empowering energy definitely manifests with the track, which is also rave-friendly. We could imagine this being played at FOLD or UNFOLD in London. The compressed moments tap into a more dreamlike energy before the more hardcore elements kick in, and this attention to detail is what keeps us hypnotized throughout.

Speaking on his artistry and dedication, Killing$pree says, “I put each of my projects before everything else, even before myself and my health.” With reference to DEMONCODE specifically, he adds, “The melody of the song is really empowering and energetic, it exudes the power of will. That’s why it’s unique.”

Elaborating on the creative direction, Killing$pree confesses, “The recording process was tricky because I have an obsession with always changing the song in one direction or another, and soon it becomes a labyrinth I can’t get out of.”

Killing$pree is a solo artist from Pieksämäki, Finland, who is crafting powerful, phonk-influenced music that blends raw emotion, resilience and high-energy frequencies. He channels personal trauma and inner struggle into empowering soundscapes, and believes that music has the power to communicate even the most unspoken emotions.

We have added DEMONCODE to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we continue to stream Killing$pree‘s epic, growing discography, and anticipate future releases from the visionary artist.

Establishing the mood with an astral electronica energy and a cerebral bassline, Killing$pree opens Ephemerals with dimensionality and atmospheric vocal ad-libs. The opus expands with a textured riser as the bass becomes more prominent within the mix. Glitched moments amplify the vibe and we are sent into the cosmos with a refined and dynamic switch-up.

We appreciate the cohesive tapestry of sound which taps into notions of ancient-futurism. There is a high spiritual resonance, but also the overarching energy feels like we could be on a journey through space and time. We connect with the ebbs and flows that keep us enthralled throughout.

The instrumental mastery that Killing$pree demonstrates is genius. We are hypnotized by the composition and the genre expansive uniqueness of the piece. As for the context of the name, it fits perfectly, as Ephemerals comes in at mere two minutes, leaving us yearning for more.

Ephemerals serves as a deeply personal release from the Finnish producer. We learn that the track was created entirely in his home sanctuary in Pieksämäki, and is designed to reflect a raw and honest approach to music-making, which is shaped by notions of solitude, resilience and emotional endurance.

Drawing inspiration from the “phonk” community, Ephemerals also reflects the influence of artists such as Kiraw, Devilry, and $lothbaby6, whilst Killing$pree clearly manifests an authentic identity of his own. Born from Killing$pree’s personal traumas and lived experiences, the song feels like a cathartic release that combines strength and sadness with motivation. There is also a cinematic allure – perfect for the score of a film like Limitless or Lucy.

The recording process adds further depth to the release, as we learn that Killing$pree completed the song whilst enduring a headache. He confesses to working with an ice pack pressed to his head throughout the session.

Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added Ephemerals to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Killing$pree‘s previous two singles, Empty Lane, and Street Reapers.
