Renowned for his sonic exploration and technical mastery, ShockOne has built a legacy including albums Universus and A Dark Machine. Now, after over a decade in the industry, he unveils his third studio album, Organism Algorithm, marking a pivotal moment in his career. This release signifies his unwavering energy and dedication to pushing boundaries. Additionally, ShockOne’s imprint, Dark Machine Records, partners with ADA worldwide, propelling the label to new heights.
Organism Algorithm is a diverse tapestry of 12 tracks. It journeys through the hyper-detailed and rhythmic, to the ethereal and visceral, showcasing the full spectrum of drum & bass. This juxtaposition is reflected in the album title itself. Solidifying his position as a leading Australian electronic artist, the album exhibits ShockOne’s evolution, blending production knowledge, engineering expertise, and diverse techniques to create a collection of electrifying anthems.
ShockOne shares “This album is a window into my creativity over the last few years, and a reflection of my state of mind throughout that process, nothing more nothing less.” On the meaning behind the album and title ‘Organism Algorithm’ ShockOne adds “the whole idea of identity and the self comes into question if all our thoughts and actions can be reduced to algorithms. I’ve been obsessed with this idea for quite some time, particularly with the recent popularisation and widespread access to AI. I find it interesting that the more we learn about ourselves, the more blurred the lines become between human intelligence and artificial intelligence, and how we define the two.”
The LP spans 12 records and incorporates notable collaborations. Lee Mvthews collaboration, whilst boasts over 6 million streams is also included. With almost two decades in the electronic music world, ShockOne showcases his experience through the drum and bass masterclass that is Organism Algorithm.
