Raybot grew up in the restless energy of New York City, turning moments from his own life into textured electronic music. He first fell into the world of production in 2009, at a low point. He’d just lost someone important, and in the middle of mourning, he stumbled onto Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” on YouTube. That simple click became the gateway. Suddenly, electronic music wasn’t just background noise—it was a lifeline, something he could disappear into when everything else felt uncertain.
Raybot’s relationship with music is direct and deeply felt. When you listen, you hear his highs and lows colliding, a soundtrack that captures both the wild joy and the heavy, complicated feelings that come with being alive.
Now he’s about to release a new EP called “Cosmic Purpose.” This one’s instrumental, with four tracks built for those late nights when you start asking the bigger questions about who you are and where you’re headed. The sound is lush, layered, and cinematic. He stacks melodies and rhythms until you’re lost in them. It’s music for escaping into your own head, or maybe finding your way out again.
This project grew out of a late-night walk that ended in a flood of existential questions. Instead of trying to run from them, Raybot put those tangled feelings into the music. “Cosmic Purpose” doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but it digs into the messiness of asking: Who am I, really? Why am I here? Do I actually need to figure everything out right now?
The first track, “Spacewalk,” opens slow. It takes its time, almost meditative at first, then gradually builds until you’re in the middle of something big and cinematic. At nearly seven minutes, it’s expansive. You feel as if you’re floating out in space with nothing but your heartbeat for company. There’s a kind of tension here—elegance and intensity, all in one place—that makes it easy to get swept up.
Track two, “Who Am I?”, leans into those moments when self-doubt hits hard. Raybot pairs that questioning mood with a surprisingly danceable beat. He weaves in light and shadow, so you can move your body even while your mind spins. It’s a track that feels ancient and modern at once, a strange place you wander into and don’t quite want to leave. As the track unfolds, you get the sense that it’s okay to not have it all sorted out. Sometimes you just move to the rhythm and let the questions hang in the air.
“Cosmic Purpose,” the title track, is the third stop. This one doesn’t follow any obvious formula. The arrangement is unusual, a bit unpredictable, but magnetic all the same. Just under eight minutes long, it pulls you into its world and keeps you there. You might notice the time slipping by without realizing it. It’s hypnotic, atmospheric, and keeps inviting you back for another listen.
The final track, “I Hope You Find Yourself,” brings things to a close with a rush of energy and hope. There’s a sense of letting go, the kind of moment when you stop overthinking and just give in—moving freely, not worrying about the next step. It feels like a deep breath after a long stretch of uncertainty, as if the music itself is rooting for you to come out the other side.
“Cosmic Purpose” was built for anyone who’s ever spent a night awake, searching for meaning or just needing a little escape. Whether you’re on a dance floor, at home with your thoughts, or somewhere in between, these tracks invite you to reflect, move, and maybe reset.
The EP arrives on all streaming platforms in June.
