about
Kris Baha & GHOSTS IN THE MACHIИE unzip their next single, Flesh & Code. Delving into the concept of being trapped in a world that’s governed by code jacked in via trans-humanist machine interfaces automated by AI systems. Our flesh and code are trapped in networks encrypting our ghosts. The merging of our consciousness within the digital realm.
In this future, most of our minds remain as streams of 0’s and 1’s aligned with AI systems rather than the other way around. The coded realm now exists within them, dividing and destroying their physical and digital self although an awakening has occurred for some. There is a haunting presence of another realm, hinting at a past where humans had autonomy and control over themselves. Metaphorically, the track represents the desire to break free from societal constructs, experiencing alienation, doubts and glitches that plague one's existence. It conveys a sense of not belonging and the search for a place where one truly belongs.
Sonically, the song traverses the cyber waves of the net experiencing glitched swells of drum and bass, dreamy vocals that morph to screams in pain, in code, in the industrial hyper punk madness of the cyber ether.
The album will be released on Zanias’s, Fleisch Records later this year.
GHOSTS IN THE MACHIИE is a future sci-fi cyberwave inspired concept project that is set in two timelines, a future looking back to the now and how we could have corrected our society before the AI take over and strip away our souls, becoming Ghosts In The Machine.

I had first heard of Spike Hellis through a friend. I was instantly hooked. I was fortunate enough to see them live last night here in Louisville,KY on 5/4/23. Funny enough, it was basically just a couple of weeks after I had been introduced to them. It made me so happy, and let me tell you, they are flawless live. I was blown away. If they come through your town, go and see them. deadinthescene
