Walking Through the Backrooms: Kaixo Descends Into an Eerie New Sonic Labyrinth

The Dutch electronic producer delivers a haunting new Bandcamp-exclusive single that transforms digital liminal spaces into immersive sound.

Atmosphere takes center stage once again as Kaixo returns with Walking Through The Backrooms, a chilling new standalone release available exclusively through Bandcamp. Known for pushing the boundaries between cinematic electronics, drum & bass, ambient textures, and experimental sound design, the Netherlands-based producer continues to explore the darker corners of electronic music with a composition that favors tension, mood, and immersive storytelling over convention.

Enter the Unknown

Inspired by the unsettling mythology surrounding the “Backrooms” phenomenon, Walking Through The Backrooms captures the unnerving sensation of wandering through endless abandoned corridors where reality slowly begins to unravel. Sparse percussion, ghostly synth textures, and unsettling spatial effects create an immersive experience that feels less like a conventional song and more like a psychological descent into the unknown.

Rather than relying on dense arrangements or melodic hooks, Kaixo uses silence, texture, and carefully sculpted sonic space to build an ever-present sense of tension. Every evolving layer reinforces the illusion of isolation, drawing listeners deeper into an environment where every sound hints that something may be lurking just beyond reach.

Since launching the project in 2015, Kaixo has steadily built a diverse catalog spanning atmospheric drum & bass, cinematic electronica, orchestral influences, and experimental sound design. Walking Through The Backrooms continues that evolution, showcasing a refined approach to immersive storytelling through sound while remaining firmly rooted in the underground electronic scene. The release proves that some of the most compelling electronic music doesn’t rely on explosive drops or relentless intensity—sometimes the deepest impact comes from embracing the silence, the shadows, and the spaces in between.

🎶 Listen Now

As the boundaries between ambient, experimental, and cinematic electronic music continue to blur, Walking Through The Backrooms stands as another compelling example of Kaixo’s ability to transform atmosphere into narrative. For listeners drawn to immersive soundscapes and unsettling sonic exploration, this latest release is well worth the journey.

MEERSEIN Channels Oceanic Power with “Ocean”

German darkwave/synthpop artist MEERSEIN, the deeply introspective project of Oldenburg-based musician and radio presenter Jan Schütz, unveils his latest EP “Ocean,” now available as a digifile and across digital platforms as of April 10.

At its core, MEERSEIN is more than a musical project—it’s a refuge. Rooted in emotional honesty and atmospheric depth, Schütz crafts soundscapes shaped by solitude, reflection, and the pull of the sea. The ocean itself becomes both muse and metaphor, a place where identity is not lost, but rediscovered. Many of these compositions were conceived near water, where silence replaces chaos and clarity emerges from stillness.

“Ocean” unfolds as a cohesive, introspective journey through transformation and vulnerability, pulling listeners beneath the surface of its emotional and sonic depth. “Tide Myself” opens the EP with slow-building intensity, using pulsing synths and fluid arrangements to frame the ocean as a living force and a metaphor for self-discovery.

The momentum continues with “Ariel,” a shimmering blend of post-punk influence and melancholic synthpop, telling the story of a siren who sacrifices her origin for love—capturing the emotional weight of identity, loss, and devotion.



One of the EP’s most striking moments arrives with “Faultless Deep,” a musically ambitious ballad layered with evolving textures and subtle tempo shifts. Inspired by The Swarm, the track channels ecological unease into a poetic meditation on humanity’s fragile relationship with nature, exposing the illusion of control in a world teetering on consequence.

Recorded and produced by MEERSEIN, with mixing and mastering handled by Jingle Crafters, the EP is a fully realized vision—sonically unified and visually complemented by artwork created by the artist himself, alongside photography by Caitlin Stokes.

The album is set to release digitally on January 24, 2025 via Projekt Records and offers a vaporous journey into atmospheric crescendos and dreamlike melodies.

About the Album

Michael describes the album as “mellow and muted,” with long waves of atmospheric crescendos that sometimes fall to near silence while at other times carve clear, intricate paths. Feathery synthesized patches blend seamlessly with crystalline piano, creating a soundscape that is dreamy, isolated, and filled with longing.

Michael reflects:
“I want the experience of listening to the music to be like going into a tranquil, flowing river. Muted enough to take you along effortlessly, but complex enough to swallow you in its melodies—like little shrouded stories being slowly woven together.”

The album title explores the concept of entropy and the idea that everything in existence is an explosion of energy trying to dissipate, from the Big Bang to the smallest particles in our bodies.
