London-based electronic music producer <en>Visionist</en> has been making waves in the music industry with his unique sound and innovative approach. With a career spanning several years, he has established himself as one of the most exciting artists in the genre.

In September 2021, <en>Visionist</en> made an announcement that he will be working under his birth name, adding another layer of authenticity to his already impressive body of work.

With influences ranging from artists such as Dark0, NGUZUNGUZU, and Jam City, <en>Visionist</en> creates mesmerizing tracks that blend elements of grime, experimental electronic music, and R&B. His distinct style pushes boundaries and challenges traditional notions of what electronic music can be.

Arriving soon after the launch of Visionist's PAN X Codes programme with Bill Kouligas, 'Safe' projects a discordant and fractured future haunted by the present's reverence of the past and frustrated by what he perceives as the scene's experimental immobility and short-sightedness. In a similar way to fellow south Londoner Actress, Carnell lacerates a deep-rooted, insider knowledge from a relative outsider perspective and practice, distilling grime's base elements - icy synths, R&amp;B chop-ups, metallic drums - with techniques and tropes more commonly associated with the outer limits of electro-acoustic, "IDM", and folk music. The result is a clinical inversion and diffusion of grime's energy and emotion, maximalising its minimalist structures with illusive rendering and lighting, whilst figuratively tightening and refocussing his music's salient information into heady upper registers away from the physical murk of bass frequencies.
