I’MMORTAL Dops Hypnotic New Single ‘Uncanny Valley’
Boundary-pushing artist I’MMORTAL is back with ‘Uncanny Valley’, a track that pulls listeners into a thrilling, eerie world where technology and humanity blur. This release is packed with ghostly vocals, warped autotune, and spine-tingling effects, delivering an experience that’s both unsettling and impossible to turn away from.
Mixing trap, EDM, and avant-pop, ‘Uncanny Valley’ sounds like a soundtrack for a sci-fi fever dream. Ominous sound effects, creeping basslines, and unpredictable synths pull the listener in before the song explodes into a high-energy, club-ready drop, only to leave you stranded in a glitchy, futuristic abyss.
The lyrics leave things deliciously unclear—are we hearing the voice of an AI confronting an eerily soulless human, or is it the other way around? Either way, the song nails that skin-crawling feeling of something being just a little too real.
I’MMORTAL shares: “I wanted the song to capture that weird feeling when something is almost human but just wrong enough to creep you out. It also plays with the idea of people who are so detached, they start to feel inhuman. This track really pushed me to experiment in new ways as both a producer and vocalist.”
From classical violinist to genre-melting producer and visual artist, I’MMORTAL thrives on bending reality. Her visuals dive deep into themes of death, rebirth, femininity, and technology, influenced by her AAPI heritage and audio-visual synesthesia.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
