Xanopticon is the moniker of electronic musician and producer Ryan Friedrich, a pivotal figure in the breakcore and experimental electronic music scenes. Having carved out a distinct niche for himself with his intricate and intense sound, Xanopticon's works are characterized by frenetic breakbeats, complex rhythms, and a dark, atmospheric aesthetic that often ventures into the realms of noise and industrial music.

Since the early 2000s, Xanopticon has been pushing the boundaries of electronic music, and his most recent releases continue to showcase his talent for innovative sound design and composition. "Azif," released in 2019, sees Friedrich delving into haunting sonic territories with an emphasis on rhythmic complexity and a brooding ambiance. Following up in 2020, "Psicicite" builds on his signature fast-paced percussive style infused with other-worldly textures. "Liminal Space," which dropped in 2021, offers listeners an immersive auditory journey through liminal states of consciousness, blending frenzied beats with eerily serene melodies. In his latest work, "Meme Mage" from 2022, Xanopticon further explores the intersection of cybernetic themes and mystical concepts, fusing relentless drum programming with an evocative narrative that unfolds through sound. His challenging yet rewarding discography secures Xanopticon's place as an innovative and visionary artist within the electronic music community.
