LIQUID NFUZION presents: “476BZ”
The best way to turn one day of production into a five-track electronic trip.

NFUZION is known for moving across many corners of underground electronic music. For his new extended play “476BZ,” he steps aside and lets one of his own musical alter egos take charge. The name on the cover, LIQUID NFUZION, hints at something more fluid than his usual hard-edged sets. The artist says the title is spoken as “4TABZ,” a nod to the four tabs of LSD he took while writing and recording the project.
That single day of recording set the frame for the entire release. Working in his home studio, NFUZION handled every stage of production, including mixing and mastering. His girlfriend sat in as a co-executive producer, giving real-time reactions as the music grew.

NFUZION admits he has been “disconnected from what is new in music” for the past two years. Instead of scanning playlists, he spends his time tweaking his own demos and lining up future collaborations. That inward focus seems to have sharpened his ear for detail. On “476BZ” every part of the frequency range feels planned. Kick drums land with weight but never blur. High hats and glitch effects skate over the mix without cutting through it. Tiny background vocal snippets, pitched and filtered until they sound less human, add extra width.
Even with this level of polish, the EP never loses its sense of speed. Each song ends before the three-minute mark. The short run times echo the fast, instinct-driven process of the session itself. If an idea felt right in the moment, it stayed. If it slowed the momentum, it went. This is why each track feels dynamic and unique!
Let’s dive deeper into a track-by-track outlook on this EP!

476BEXCURSION

A glitch-hop, breakbeat inspired song that has unique melodies and rhythms, combining energy and fast-paced drum patterns with ethereal ambient sounds. Almost as if Boards of Canada had a bit too much coffee before starting their production session!

FL3X+STR3TCH

Track two slows the pulse. Its breakbeat groove swings rather than sprints, leaving space for bright, arpeggiated synth lines. Those repeating note patterns blur into a soft haze, giving the song a dreamlike pull. Listeners might picture a quiet dawn street after a long night out, the city still humming but the air gentler.

The midpoint cuts back in with a haunting lead motif. Drums fade and reappear, shifting the beat emphasis so the ear never settles. Large, rounded bass tones fill the gaps, pushing against the edges of the stereo field. The tune feels playful on the surface but holds a mild unease beneath, with perfectly timed tension building throughout.

CL4R1N01SENSE

Here NFUZION pushes deepest into experimentation. Long ambient drones underpin warped, pitch-bent synth pads. The drums sound as though they are breaking apart, then stitching themselves together. The track recalls classic psychedelic trance atmospheres yet renounces their usual four-on-the-floor kick. Instead, rhythm comes in short bursts and off-kilter loops, leaving listeners hovering in zero gravity.

The closer starts with thick, low-passed bass growls. Soon a smooth breakbeat slips underneath, carrying swelling chord washes. It begins with some bass tones, and it quickly evolves into a smooth breakbeat groove with swelling synth pads and huge dynamics. One of the EP’s strongest melodic lines, this track is a mesmerizing combination of soothing synth tones, big round bass and cutting drums.

To conclude, there’s a lot going on in the artist’s life now! During the session for “476BZ,” NFUZION already had multiple rap albums in progress. He hints that future releases may blend the raw drive of this EP with more traditional vocal work. For now, “476BZ” stands as a snapshot of one intense creative window. It shows what can happen when an artist locks into a clear headspace and follows each idea to its end without stopping to compare it to market trends.

At just under fifteen minutes total, the EP encourages repeat plays. First listens may pull attention to the unexpected drum swings or icy effects. Later spins reveal small details buried in the mix: a reversed cymbal tail morphing into a snow-like hiss, a filtered chord that echoes a theme introduced two tracks earlier, a ghostly breath sample panning across the field.

“476BZ” does not aim for chart spots or mainstream playlists. It offers a focused study in texture, pace, and mood, crafted under unusual circumstances yet standing up to careful listening. In keeping the process short, NFUZION turned limitation into method. The result feels both spontaneous and measured, proof that disciplined ears can thrive even in a blur of creative rush.

the bandcamp diaries.: 

You finished “476BZ” in a single day while tripping on four tabs of acid. How did that experience change your normal workflow?

NFUZION: 

My normal workflow is random, nonstandard and unorthodox, but to be completely honest it was very freeing, I get very focused when I trip and was able to stay on the task of making the project, watching movies/tv, and talking with my girl pretty much the whole time. Believe it or not this wasn't my first nor my strongest trip ever. I feel like it definitely allows me to tap in and hear things I wouldn't normally hear and my ideas for creating the next song were for some of the songs based on one element of the previous arrangement, the first two songs use the same pad it's just a different pitch/filter between them and it's chopped different so it kinda tricks the listener into thinking it is new. That is how I was thinking during this, I wanted it to be an experience, but mostly I want to make music that I knew would activate my synaesthesia and silence my tinnitus, I still go back to listen to this project often.

INTERVIEW

the bandcamp diaries.: 

Your girlfriend served as co-executive producer. What specific feedback from her made the biggest difference in the final mix?

NFUZION: 

Well she doesn't have a background in production or music generally but it is my belief personally that to play a part in music you don't need to know everything, be experienced in its creation, or know what sounds advanced. I figured it would be a good way for us to bond, and I really love her taste in music, I enjoy the obscure but she understands what is popular and has a good ear for things that bother her, she can hear things I can't in the mix especially being in the mix for over 6 hours making this. I am very grateful for her taking part in this project and in my life, thanks Kim! ❤️

the bandcamp diaries.: 

The movie “Snowpiercer” added a cold atmosphere to the EP. Can you point to one sound or effect that came straight from that idea?

NFUZION: 

The first couple minutes of the movie where they show the train moving from the outside view definitely played a part in some of the sounds chosen to one of the songs, you can hear the atmospheric blizzard ambiance if you listen closely. I wanted it to induce a chill, but I also feel like that movie is the essence of what this project is about, fast moving, isolated, strange, and violent at times.

the bandcamp diaries.: 

Every track stays under three minutes. What led you to keep the songs so short?

NFUZION: 

I think it is difficult to make songs at high BPM interesting for longer than 2 and a half to 3 minutes but I also didn't want to intimidate listeners with a 20-30 minute total length. Also it would have been way more difficult to finish this project in a day if there were more songs or they were longer. I have to listen to the mix a lot before a track is finished so it was kind of for efficiency and listener attention reasons. However to tie it back to snow piercer, the scenes are quick for the most part in that movie, meaning they don't spend that long in each car trying to move up to the head of the train, this EP is similar, keep the plot moving, don't stop moving.

the bandcamp diaries.: 

You have rap projects in the pipeline. Which lessons from making “476BZ” will you carry into those albums?

NFUZION: 

This project definitely taught me new techniques to create more with less and also encouraged me to creatively use sounds or edit and chop sounds differently and for different purposes. To not be fearful of what is normal in the music industry or the underground. Take risks, make new combinations, trick the listener and don't stop the momentum. This EP is sort of a spiritual successor or follow up to GameCube world as that is another project I made within a defined timespan but that is when I first started learning to produce, it is very rough, uses obvious heavy looping and is much less interesting of a listen in my opinion but I made it within a week with minimal understanding of theory, song structure or anything of the sort. I know more now but that project was just me and my nostalgia. I feel like my progression in this self produced body of work can be seen from previous projects and it is evident I am improving or at least attempting to consistently. Maybe not in the way people who are classically or academically trained in music would prefer, but in my own way, my own sound.

the bandcamp diaries.: 

After spending two years away from new music trends, how do you decide which sounds still feel fresh to you?

NFUZION: 

Does it make me feel something? Does it feel like something else I can remember hearing? I decide what sounds fresh based on what I can remember, part of the reason I disconnected myself from mainstream and even UG because I didn't want to even consider production decisions which are being made currently. I put myself in solitude musically besides listening to people who are in a similar position in life or in music. Organic connections so we can build new things together minus the heavily pressurized influence of art which already exists. Not that it is wrong to take influence or enjoy modern music at all, my intent is not to shame but I feel like subconsciously artists take and take without realizing they are creating a pale imitation of what their subconscious brain remembers… To create something new you must be something new.
