When Cyclops Army leader Subtronics took to Twitter to announce his debut album Fractals will be coming sometime in January 2022, the dubstep producer promised that the record would see him taking his music in a new direction. Now Subtronics’ debuted full-length album has finally arrived on his very own imprint, Cyclops Recordings.

“I’ve wanted to talk about this album for so long,” Subtronics said in a press statement. He continues,

“I’m overly transparent about my creative process, so not being able to share it with everyone has been an adjustment. I will say, I have poured so much emotional, mental, and sentimental weight into it. Putting such a huge project out there, something that I’ve been working on for well over a year, is kind of terrifying. I’ve reworked every detail of every track, made improvements, and built a universe around all of it. I have definitely evolved and grown with my sound design and I am beyond excited to share FRACTALS with everyone.”

Spanning 16 tracks in length, the album’s sheer range is what showcases Subtronics taking new risks and trying on new sounds. Moving from his bolstering big room bass anthems to more left-field experimental cuts to more electro/pop-centric like “Spacetime” with NEVVE, Fractals proves Jesse Kardon is a true man of his word. Standout collaborations on Fractals include the already-released tracks “Gassed Up” with Zeds Dead and Flowdan, as well as fan-favorite “Griztronics II” with GRiZ, which made CE‘s Top Singles of 2021 shortlist.
