about

There's this shortwave radio station, at about 4625 kHz. It was discovered broadcasting in 1982. It's known as UZB-76 (sometimes mis-attributed as UVB-76 from the distortion over the airwaves). It only broadcasts a monotonous buzz tone, about 25 times a minute, 24 hours a day. Sometimes, (very rarely) the signal is interrupted by a voice transmission in Russian.

The song here, is a soundtrack to the daily life of the operator of UZB-76. An average person, with a shit job, far separated from the powers that decide his daily routine. Just trying to make the best experience possible for his existence.

(I used some real audio of this community of radio watchers, and recreated the buzzer itself with my keyboard. The intro is real audio captured from UZB-76 in which you can hear the real buzzer itself, as well as background defense sirens indicating the buzzer is mechanical over an open microphone)

Compiler Optimization Techniques
by The Algorithm

The punch, the glitch, the thick thick waves of distortion. The Algorithm's maniacal mechanical assault immerses you in the heat generated by intense compute power. Oui! Bad Guys Get Dead

Night Drive
by Timecop1983

Night Drive perfectly captures the dark, lonely night, the story tells. The beautiful tone of synth in 'Static' sets up a beautiful immersive reflection that carries through to the end. Bad Guys Get Dead

TRILOGY
by Carpenter Brut

Impossibly large sound palette and intense and driving rhythms bring a cinematic action to this stellar album. From Horror-thriller chase music to top down sunset driving. This one has it all. Bad Guys Get Dead
