In the vast landscape of electronic music, certain artists stand out not merely for their sound but for the immersive worlds they create. Silicon Simian is one such artist. Based in India, yet creatively rooted in retro-futuristic aesthetics, he is forging a distinct identity within the global synthwave underground, merging dystopian tones with raw, industrial energy.
A Sound That Strikes with Force
Labeling Silicon Simian as simply a synthwave producer would be reductive. His sonic palette draws from darksynth, retrowave, cyberpunk, industrial metal, and glitch-infused electronic textures. The result is an intense, cinematic experience—an electrified tension between human vulnerability and synthetic aggression.
Tracks such as Bloodfront View, Witness (feat. Ipsa), and the recent Regression Dream (in collaboration with Coalescence Cascade) highlight his ability to craft emotionally charged, high-impact soundscapes.
Notable Releases in 2025
The year 2025 has seen a surge in activity from Silicon Simian. On May 16, he released No Discharge in the War, a heavy-hitting collaboration with Ram Abbalah. This was followed by Regression Dream, released on June 6, showcasing a more atmospheric but equally powerful sonic direction. These tracks underline a clear evolution in both production and narrative intent.
Vision Beyond Music
In an interview aired in March on the Music Fishbowl Podcast, Silicon Simian discussed his musical journey, inspirations from cyberpunk culture, and his recent interest in VST plugin development. His approach blends artistry with technology, reinforcing his position as a multi-dimensional creator.
“I care as much about sound as I do about how it’s built. Every track is a creature you construct and then set free. Sometimes it’s brutal, sometimes poetic—but always alive.”
— Silicon Simian, March 2025
A Name to Watch
Although still emerging, Silicon Simian represents a refreshing blend of authenticity and bold experimentation in a scene often saturated with repetition. With a growing international following and a relentless creative drive, he is poised to gain significant recognition in the coming years.
His commitment to both musical and software innovation makes him a standout figure in the evolving landscape of electronic sound. As his trajectory continues, one thing is certain: Silicon Simian is not just building music—he’s building a movement.
