Blacklight Beat Patrol

Formed in late 2021 in East Providence, Rhode Island, Blacklight Beat Patrol is known for its innovative fusion of genres, including synthwave, glitch, breakbeat, and IDM. The band’s dynamic and idiosyncratic sound captivates with its anthemic vibes and experimental spirit.

The latest album, Whispers from the Void (July 2024), showcases their sonic evolution. Tracks like "Sundays and Flapjacks" and "Un Hausse" blend nostalgic synth lines with cutting-edge electronic sounds, creating an exhilarating and immersive auditory experience. Described as “a real statement — a raised middle finger against the ordinary, representing the frontier of sound most unknown.”

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists, their music has been compared to Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Daft Punk. One reviewer noted, "It is as though Daft Punk and Aphex Twin had birthed a progeny that subsisted on broken radios and cosmic dust."
