Exclusive track premiere of ‘Flesh & Code’ by Kris Baha & GHOSTS IN THE MACHIИE. New album out later this year via Fleisch Records.

Kris Baha & GHOSTS IN THE MACHIИE unzip their next single, ‘Flesh & Code’. Delving into the concept of being trapped in a world that’s governed by code jacked in via trans-humanist machine interfaces automated by AI systems. Our flesh and code are trapped in networks encrypting our ghosts. The merging of our consciousness within the digital realm.

The majority of our minds remain as streams of 0’s and 1’s aligned with AI systems rather than the other way around. The coded realm now exists within them, dividing and destroying their physical and digital self although an awakening has occurred for some. There is a haunting presence of another realm, hinting at a past where humans had autonomy and control over themselves. Metaphorically, the track represents the desire to break free from societal constructs, experiencing alienation, doubts and glitches that plague one’s existence. It conveys a sense of not belonging and the search for a place where one truly belongs.

Sonically, the song traverses the cyber waves of the net experiencing glitched swells of drum and bass, dreamy vocals that morph to screams in pain, in code, in the industrial hyper punk madness of the cyber ether.

Kris is a fixture in Berlin’s Industrial EBM & club scene, playing at notable parties and venues such as Cocktail D’Amore, Tresor & Panorama bar, RSO and Urban Spree where he dives deep into the void, to deliver extended sets of otherworldly machine music driven by emotion and mood as well as running his own live and dj focused party night, Wired. The same ethos applies to his performance-based live shows, which were initially inspired by his love for the pioneering gigs of the first industrial music era.
