Exploring the unknown has been the driving force behind Edictum’s journey since childhood. This relentless curiosity has led to a life dedicated to both science and art, where creativity and logic seamlessly intertwine. As a graduated chemist, he delves into the natural world with the same passion that fuels his musical explorations, proving that science and art are two sides of the same coin—rational structure and emotional depth working in harmony.
Over the years, this fusion of knowledge and creativity has led Edictum to collaborations with notable artists, the release of dozens of tracks on various labels, and performances at numerous DJ gigs. With close to three million streams across platforms, he continues to connect with listeners worldwide, recently releasing ‘A Cosmic Scale,’ which feels like a journey across different planets in our solar system. Each track seems to represent a unique world, with its own mood and style.
Early on, ‘Astral Guide’ sets the stage with a dreamy but energetic rhythm, blending trance-inspired melodies with a bright sense of wonder. ‘Solar Flares‘ then switches things up, offering a lively house beat that feels both upbeat and atmospheric.
When ‘Mercury’ starts, the pace speeds up with drum & bass influences, showing a darker, more urgent side to the album. This intensity makes the calm and laid-back vibe of ‘Venus’ stand out even more—its chillwave tones create a gentle pause in the action. Later, ‘Gaia’ returns to a trance sound, but with hints of classical instruments woven into the background. It feels like an epic buildup, guiding the listener toward the heavier, futuristic tones of ‘Mars,’ which leans into a cyberpunk edge.
The central part of the album emphasizes contrasts: soft strings one moment and gritty synths the next. ‘Blue Moon’ and ‘Jupiter’ bring uplifting energy back into focus, then the trio of ‘Saturn,’ ‘Uranus,’ and ‘Neptun’ shifts into synthwave territory, blending retro themes with modern production. Each of these songs has a hint of nostalgia, yet they also carry a forward-looking punch.
By the time ‘Kuiper Belt’ arrives, the album seems to drift into a quieter, more reflective place. Gentle pads and a laid-back tempo give the feeling that the listener has reached the outer edges of Edictum’s cosmic map. It’s a satisfying ending that ties the whole concept together.
Throughout ‘A Cosmic Scale,’ Edictum manages to balance strong beats and melodic lines. Classical touches appear in subtle ways, adding depth without overshadowing the electronic core. The production is polished, and even though the styles change from track to track, the album feels connected by its space theme and sense of exploration. Whether you enjoy dancefloor energy or a more thoughtful listening experience, this album offers something for both sides, making it a memorable ride through Edictum’s vision of the cosmos.
