Anyma - The End of Genesys [2 LP Poudre de Porcelaine]

The end of Genesys closes the trilogy that Anyma has been building since 2023, pressed here on 2LP on porcelain powder vinyl.

Matteo Milleri rose to prominence as one half of Tale of Us and established Afterlife as one of dance music's most recognizable identities, which is rare for a label built on melodic techno. Anyma is the solo project where he pushed further, combining this sound with AI-generated visual worlds and images of androids until music and screen became inseparable. It worked so well that he became the first electronic artist to take a residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, and much of that recording premiered in that dome.

Work incorporates Yeat for the album's most abrasive moment, with distorted bass and vocal processing pushed beyond comfort. Hypnotized takes the opposite route, Ellie Goulding floating on a rise who knows exactly how long to wait. Elsewhere, Grimes, 070 Shake and Empire of the Sun's Luke Steele appear, and the guest list makes sense once you notice that they all share a taste for the slightly inhuman.

The trilogy's concerns, technology and nature and what coexistence might really cost, hit harder now than when it began. It is entirely appropriate that it ends here.
