The music knows what the mind hasn't processed yet...
Travis Goes Deep | Travis or Alice | 12'
Release date: 17.07.2026
The boy within the girl and the girl within the boy, laughing when it's time to cry and completely lost when faced with joy. She was a child when someone told her feelings were too much. So they stayed small. Only irony remained.
Something she'd forgotten came back all at once when a silhouette placed a sampler in her hands: she smiled. Then a tear dropped – half happiness, half grief for the years spent numb.
On her debut EP Travis Goes Deep, Alisa explores these polar states. The sound is raw and tactile: a nail file scraped across a DIY contact mic, glitch textures and pink noise colliding with distorted basslines and punk vocals.
It captures the anxiety of recognising yourself – the constant movement between fear and the rush of becoming. Ukrainian producer Na Nich anchors the release with a remix built around a heavy, monolithic drum and bass line: the same emotional territory, held down by weight rather than restlessness.
The visual world is shaped by artist Sophus, who works directly onto textiles, channeling raw emotional and spiritual states into something you could almost touch. His work doesn't illustrate the music – it extends it.
Drop the external landmarks. There's only one direction left: inward.
