Anyone know when Qebrus' soundcloud got wiped? :( wanted to listen to an old track he had up.
His passing still makes me sad. Such insane energy in his music. Felt like someone who saw Gantz Graf as pop music.

The Persistence Hunting Hypothesis, popularized by evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman and anthropologist Dennis Bramble, suggests that early humans evolved for long-distance endurance rather than speed. Around two million years ago, Homo erectus developed anatomical traits like elastic tendons and specialized head stabilization alongside an efficient cooling system: sweating. Unlike prey animals that must stop to pant and cool down, humans could pursue game in midday heat, chasing animals until they collapsed from hyperthermia.
To motivate this extreme effort, human biology evolved a rewarding neurochemical response. Sustained aerobic exercise floods the brain with anandamide—an endocannabinoid that reduces anxiety and pain while inducing euphoria—alongside endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin. Running also stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor, boosting neuroplasticity and mental resilience.
This neurochemical surge, paired with rhythmic movement, elevates running into a spiritual practice. Long distances reduce activity in the prefrontal cortex, suppressing ego and time perception to induce a calm, deeply present flow state. Sacred traditions like the Kaihogyo pilgrimage of Japan's Tendai monks and the long-distance running of Mexico’s Rarámuri people reflect this timeless, transcendent link between movement and spirit.

bandcamp New experimental electronic EP from 🇨🇳— would love to hear your thoughts
Hi everyone,
I recently released my new EP and wanted to share it here.
This project explores experimental electronic music, combining IDM, glitch, ambient textures, and some influences from my own background. One of the tracks, “Saihan Tara”, is inspired by a grassland in Inner Mongolia, where I grew up.
I’m always curious how people experience this kind of music, so I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or favorite track if you have time to listen.
Thanks for checking it out

is it possible to build an audience making idm adjacent music in 2026?
over the past year i built somewhat of an audience in a pretty niche soundcloud scene (between 500-6000 plays on songs) and am looking to pivot from what ive been releasing.
what ive been releasing im not particularly passionate about and what i would like to release is a combination of what i was previously making and idm/glitch. i know that idm in general is not very popular currently and just curious how people have gone about building audiences.
some of my biggest inspirations are horror soundtracks, cyberpunk esque idm. ( arasaka, hu-ron, comaduster ) my passion with music is generally concept albums and storytelling but i know that as a small artist albums are not a good way to grow.
any ideas / suggestions are appreciated and if anyone is curious about my music i can send newer music from an ep im working on.
Would like to explore IDM further. Any album suggestions based on what I enjoy?
Hey all, I was hoping I could get some album recommendations within the IDM and adjacent genres that would compliment my most prominent interests, based on the list of artist and albums below. I know some of them probably stray into ambient, post rock, or even trip hop territory, but it's the best bearing I can offer for where my preferences lead me.
If I had to put into words what I'm most apt to connect with, I'd say: intricate and evolving rhythms, ample layers of tones and textures, lush and enveloping ambience, cushy and scintillating bass, modern and clean production aesthetics, mid tempo or slower.
I reckon Four Tet and Floating Points will probably be suggested, and while I've enjoyed some of their work, namely Three and Crush, respectively, I don't return to them frequently. I think I find some of their tracks a bit tinny, repetitive, and eccentric on a frequent enough basis, that it's hard to make it through a full album without encountering something I'm not a fan of. I pretty much listen to albums exclusively, so cohesive and consistent records are very important to me.
Thanks for the consideration and any input!

Need help IDing this record
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Can someone help ID this one? 4 track white label record, no cover or any info other than ‘D13001’ etched onto one side
Unsure if this is A side or B side. Second track on other side (with the etching) has an edit of Get Tough by Kleeer
