Share
Every cyberpunk story needs a soundtrack, and our new monthly playlist is here to honor that.
Welcome to the new CYBERSOCIETY Monthly Music Spotlight, where we dive into sounds that are making waves in the digital world.

October is here, and that means it's time to update your playlist with some fresh beats to keep you netrunning all month long.
Essenger
Essenger’s sound often blends styles such as synthwave, alt-rock, and electronic production that lend themselves well to immersive game worlds. In interviews, he has also cited his influences from anime and cyberpunk visual culture (Akira, Ghost in the Shell) as inspiration.
Motionless in White
“Cyberhex” isn’t new, but it deserves permanent residency on every cyberpunk playlist. The industrial metal backbone, haunting electronics, and apocalyptic lyrics feel like a war cry for the end of the world. The music video itself is peak cyberpunk, a high-production dystopian vision of collapse and resistance.
Silent Planet
Silent Planet’s sound is cinematic and crushing, weaving metalcore intensity with ethereal electronics. “Antimatter” feels like booting up a fresh run in Cyberpunk 2077. Gritty, atmospheric, and full of desperate urgency, it is the kind of track that turns your daily commute into a dystopian montage.
Dreamwake
Massively underappreciated, Dreamwake feels like the future of hybrid genres. They fuse synthwave with metalcore, layering heavy riffs and breakdowns with neon-soaked saxophone solos. A bold, genre-bending sound that feels nostalgic while also feeling heavily energetic at the same time.
Calva Louise
Their tracks mix cybernetic themes with surreal visuals and storytelling. Lyrics frequently explore technology, digital identity, and dystopian landscapes, while their live shows and videos lean heavily into cybernetic aesthetics and sci-fi imagery. Calva Louise belongs on a cyberpunk playlist because their sound is not confined by genre, it is experimental, disruptive, and thrives in that space between rebellion and technology.
Deadcode
Deadcode leans hard into glitch, distortion, and industrial grit. Listening feels like hacking a corporate server while alarms blare in the distance. It is aggressive, unapologetic, and tailor-made for anyone who wants their cyberpunk playlist to feel like a system overload.
