The Particles series has been a defining project, pushing boundaries in the Techno landscape. Each chapter represents a new dimension of sonic exploration. Particles V by STNDRD, carries this tradition forward, delving into experimental sound design and rhythm.

Opening the release with an eerie calm, 'Frozen' sets the tone with an ambient soundscape that feels both mysterious and unsettling. The strident elements cut through the mix like shards of ice, giving the track a sharp, haunting edge.

'Monolithic' introduces a futuristic soundscape, sending a signal into the vast unknown. Its expansive pads and cosmic textures create an otherworldly atmosphere, as though communicating a message to distant, alien civilizations.

'Oak' stands out with its emphasis on a compelling melodic pattern, which serves as the central ingredient of the track. STNDRD crafts a clean low end that provides a solid foundation, while sharp pads add a layer of texture and clarity.

'Folie' takes a minimalist approach, driven by a clean low end and a repetitive pattern that locks listeners into its hypnotic groove. The track's sharp percussion cuts through the mix with precision, adding a layer of intensity without overpowering its core rhythm.

'Solana' delivers a powerful sonic experience with its rich, fat bass and distinctive hats that drive the rhythm forward. The track's percussion is crisp and engaging, creating a compelling groove that captures attention.

'Rebound' pulses with an electrifying energy, as if currents of electricity are coursing through its core. The track is marked by a series of hypnotic, ethereal voices that seem to emanate from another realm, creating a sense of otherworldly connection.

'Ossified Mantras' envelops the listener in a murky, dense soundscape that blurs the line between clarity and confusion. The high-pitched hats introduce a piercing contrast that disrupts the auditory field. The result is a track that challenges perceptions and creates a sense of disorientation.

The rawness of the sound design gives 'Nullvoid' a visceral edge, while the groove ensures it remains engaging and danceable. This track contrasts sharply with its predecessors, injecting a burst of energetic, edgy intensity into the release.

With a hard-hitting kick as its foundation, 'Disoriented Dreams' shifts the energy of the release into a more forceful, groove-driven direction. The pulsating rhythm gives the track a hypnotic quality, while its groove keeps the momentum alive, ensuring that listeners are both engaged and disoriented, as the title suggests.

'Drifting' guides listeners through a journey of layered, mesmerizing soundscapes.The layers seamlessly interweave, drawing you into a trance-like state where time seems to dissolve.
