Albums | Oberka’s ‘Regrow Protocol’ is Daring Journey Through Chaos and Rebirth
Posted by VMan on July 8, 2025
Taiwanese electronic music visionary Oberka, the creative alias of producer Huang Shao Yong, has delivered an audacious new chapter in his sonic exploration with Regrow Protocol, a 10-track album that defies easy categorization. Released under his own Dark Paradise Records imprint, the album is a bold experiment in sound design and structure — a thrilling fusion of chaos and clarity, rhythm and rupture, noise and narrative.
At the heart of the album is the explosive title track “Regrow Protocol,” which perfectly encapsulates the project’s core philosophy: destruction as a vital precursor to reinvention. What started as a playful live experiment in a Hong Kong hotel room—layering chopped pig “oinks” beneath hypnotic gamelan and balafon loops—evolved into a high-impact sonic statement reworked with warped vocal chops and pulsating rhythmic tension in 2025. This track embodies Oberka’s fearless, unpredictable approach to electronic music, where genre boundaries dissolve and new worlds are forged.
Crafted over nearly a year, Regrow Protocol represents Oberka’s most refined and conceptually rich work to date. Drawing from improvised live sessions, long-form demos, and experimental sampling, the album unfolds like a fractured ecosystem in flux. Tracks like the glitch-heavy “Frog” and the evocative “Please Remember” each contribute to a mosaic of dark energy and cryptic beauty, inviting listeners to unravel the complex textures and rhythms woven throughout.
Chill, Future Trap | 10Digits “Rebirth” Album Marks A Year Of Solo Success

Canadian artist 10Digits, who masks his identity behind a visually inspiring layer of digitized art, has been on a single releasing spree in 2018. He has followed the new tunes up with a full-fledged album, packed with multiple genres and singers on almost every song – the album feeling more like a complete work and less like a string of singles stitched together.
10Digits has had a gradual rise over the last several months, one of the most notable elements being his music video for “Fool For Love” which went on to reach well-over 1 million streams. The dude crafts his pieces until they genuinely stand out and reaps the benefits. This surely isn’t the last time we will see 10Digits, perhaps his true name and face being revealed by himself or a determined journalist in the near future, keep an out for him.
