NO PROMISES from CULTURE EP by Rhyot

“NO PROMISES” sets the stage as a rhythmic, anxious introduction. Built on stark and steady piano, eerie ticking synths, and a swelling bass pad progression, it unfolds without percussive drive, climbing in unease rather than resolving. It’s the same piece that has been opening Rhyot’s live shows, acting as a tense prologue that primes the audience before impact, establishing a dense mood for the record.

Rhyot’s CULTURE EP, the latest release from his Canadian independent label Emercive Recordings, is a four-track record that pushes into anxious atmospheres, chilling soundscapes, heavy midtempo rhythm, and abrasive industrial sound design. The record dodges between cinematic tension and outright confrontation, slashing through in protest against the zero-risk hyper-commercialization of modern electronic music as flash-in-the-pan marketing product.

Rhyot (pronounced "riot") is an American-Canadian electronic musician known for his dark, cinematic, and dystopian style. Drawing influence from a variety of genres, including techno, electro, and industrial, Rhyot creates evocative and captivating dance music that immerses audiences and inspires expression.
