Slushii’s Chrysalis: A Dreamy Dive Into His Alternate Universe

Step into Slushii’s alternate universe with Chrysalis, an album blending dreamy soundscapes and sci-fi visuals for a unique musical journey.

A New Chapter in Sound and Vision

Slushii, also known as Julian Scanlan, explores new artistic dimensions with Chrysalis. He has always thrived in the space between contrasts—melding hard-hitting drops with soft, ethereal melodies, and balancing digital production with deep human emotion. His latest album, Chrysalis, released under his ambient alias sapientdream, shatters these boundaries and beckons listeners into a deeply personal and immersive experience.

Unlike his previous work, which often focused on energetic EDM bangers for the festival crowd, Chrysalis is a reflective, atmospheric collection designed more for the comedown or a cosmic journey than the club floor.

An Ambitious Multimedia Experience

Released on July 11 through his new label SONICdream, Chrysalis consists of 18 tracks that aren’t just music—they’re part of a larger narrative. Each song ties into Sapient Dream, an original sci-fi webcomic launching simultaneously on WEBTOON, creating what Scanlan describes as a “multi-sensory experience.”

This innovative approach means the album and comic complement each other, deepening the impact of both. While it might sound a bit indulgent, the result is a surprisingly effective fusion of sound and story that invites you to lose yourself in a rich alternate universe.

From Festival Bangers to Emotional Ballads

Slushii’s transformation since bursting onto the scene in 2016 is remarkable. Once known for his vibrant energy and rainbow hair, delivering viral EDM hits and collaborating with big names like Marshmello and Jauz, he now steps into a more vulnerable and introspective role. Under the sapientdream moniker, he crafts slow-building, emotionally charged ballads that resonate on a much deeper level.

For listeners ready to dive into this dreamlike soundscape, Chrysalis offers a beautiful, often bittersweet escape—a musical launchpad to memory, imagination, and outer space.
