Queens-based artist 5thPlanet is coming from the deepest recess of space to invade our senses, dropping trippy LSD-infused bangers and cosmic experiences like you haven't heard before.
5thPlanet’s previous releases have spawned a wide array of genres, including ambient, left-field dance, electro, acid, and drone. Throughout 2016, he performed extensively around New York City after releasing his debut EP, "BIGCITY$OUND." After this, he released the uniquely shaped "SpaceRoxx," a pair of 7-minute bangers inspired by early acid house and breakbeat that, like his previous tracks, were well received. However, what came next proved that he wasn't afraid of further experimenting with his sound. 5thPlanet went through a dramatic transformation on his latest album, "Nocturnal Emissions," which was entirely recorded from live improvised performances. The result was a collection of deep, cinematic soundscapes intended to take the listener on a journey through the cosmos itself, best enjoyed in the dark void of a cold night.
Today we’re revisiting "Orbital Resonance," the 5th track of “Nocturnal Emissions.” However, 5thPlanet has recently released a music video to accompany the single and continues pushing the boundaries of what electronic music is even further. This new video is an entirely new and fresh experience, a journey through the vast expanse of 5thPlanet’s mind, retaining the unique blend of ambient and electronic that made the song such a memorable venture. The visuals perfectly match the melody, taking us on a very strange and surreal landscape. It's the perfect soundtrack for getting lost in the intergalactic voyage commanded by 5thPlanet himself.
"Orbital Resonance was recorded during a show at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn on February 12, 2024, using a Yamaha CS-10 synthesizer, a Boss DD-3 delay pedal, and a Critter & Guitari 5Moons recorder/looper. Orbital Resonance is a moment of respite and reflection amidst turbulence on the rest of the album. The song grows, one melodic layer at a time, until it reaches a chaotic breaking point and fades away into nothingness." – Will Lakritz, the mind behind 5thPlanet
5thPlanet has truly crafted something special here. His talent for fusing different genres and creating otherworldly experiences is on full display in this single.
