LISBON, PORTUGAL – British, Lisbon-based music producer and composer Vahakn releases his new single “Glasscutter”, out 23rd June 2026 via Pretty Decent Music Records. A devastating, dubstep-laden sonic monstrosity, “Glasscutter” is both terrifying and beautiful in equal measure—the sixth in a series of filmic and filthy releases for deep listening, crafted by sonic pioneer Vahakn.
The Track: Slovenian Nuns and Transplanar Noise
Out of darkness emerges “Glasscutter”, starting with Slovenian chanting nuns and tumbling, timbral plucked chimes. The track oscillates between lizardy scrapes and transplanar noises, tearing through reality and wrecking the fabric of time with its alien pulse, stubbornly holding onto a wonky half-time tempo.
“‘Glasscutter’ is a heavy hitter,” Vahakn explains. “Starting with Slovenian chanting nuns and tumbling timbral plucked chimes it oscillates between lizardy scrapes flowing into luscious twinkles. The drops are hard and somehow in your face but also zooming right out. The drum and bass production style shines on this beat but keeps pure to a hip-hop breaks tempo.”
Listeners will drink its glitchy tonic and ascend into a world of luscious twinkles, developing sonic omniscience as they hear the threads flow into an evil ecstasy and back again. It’s a track that refuses conventional structure—dense, unpredictable, and utterly immersive.
The Sixth Chapter
“Glasscutter” is the sixth in a series of filmic and filthy releases for deep listening, following “Beloved” (May 2026). Vahakn makes hi-def dust-driven bass music—slow beats with a euphoric destination, hard danceable downtempo searching for the nether reaches of a known land. He live-twists the electro-acoustic world with left-field bleeps, percussion, and touchable textures.
His music seeks to get as close as possible to vibrating hairs on a leaf but with bass as glorious as a tuned thunderstorm.
