Career

Releases on Firepower Records (2014–2016) In November 2014, PhaseOne released his first Extended play (EP) titled "Touching The Stars" on Datsik's Firepower Records.

Four months later, PhaseOne released another single called "UFO". The track was remarked for being "grimy, intense and original" overall, its "vocal sampling bring[ing] an undeniable errie vibe, and a tension filled [buildup giving] way to a drop that is absolutely unexpected in all the best ways".

In May 2018, PhaseOne released his fifth EP titled "Double Up".

In May 2019, PhaseOne released his first studio album titled "Transcendency". It was remarked for its willingness to "transcend genres and bleed into other worlds" that "even hardcore purists within metal, Hip-hop, drum & bass, and beyond" can embrace.

In 2020, PhaseOne collaborated with Hydraulix to release a single called "Space Invaders". The track was remarked for its "glitched-out intro" and a "sharp bass cut[ting] the tension" between the build-up and the drop, as well as the drop that "contradicts the harshness of the basses". The track was based on the video game Space Invaders.

Post-Disciple releases & Sounds of Mayhem Recordings (2022–present) In July 2022, PhaseOne collaborated with Australian rock band Polaris to release "Icarus" on Epitaph Records. The track was remarked for its "explosive composition that combines electronic basslines and metal instrumentation". PhaseOne initially wrote the song to be a metal music track, but then added electronic elements later on. Polaris' lyrics touches of "humanity's seemingly endless ambition and self-interest, and [its] failure to recognize or learn from the destructive ramifications of that tendency".

On June 13, 2023, PhaseOne founded a record label called "Sounds of Mayhem Recordings". The label was founded as a way to showcase unreleased music that PhaseOne and his associates produced, and to be "live in the nextus between metal and bass music". The etymology behind the name was inspired partially due to the success of his 2017 song on his "Origins" EP titled "Welcome To Mayhem". In December, PhaseOne collaborated with Nosphere to release "Brunt" which "features intense metal breakdowns with unique guitar riffs".
