What happens when you plug a baboon’s brain into a beat machine? $ELVIS just gave us the answer with “Song v.1.0”, a track that merges raw neuroscience with club-driven energy. Released on May 16 via all major streaming platforms, this isn’t just a new sound—it’s a new species of electronic music.
Crafted from the decoded motor cortex signals of a baboon, the track started as pure brain data. That neural activity was translated into MIDI, which producers then shaped into a pulsing, immersive dance anthem. The result is a blend of primal rhythm and futuristic flair—a techno-adjacent experiment that somehow manages to feel both instinctual and intentional.
“Song v.1.0” doesn’t ride on gimmick. It delivers tight production, a groove that hits deep, and an aesthetic that feels cyberpunk as hell. Think: Aphex Twin meets neural engineering, or Jon Hopkins in the lab with DARPA.
This is the first documented track composed by what the press calls a “cyborg baboon”, and it has already caught the attention of forward-thinking tastemakers and scientists alike.
