The composer behind Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has released a collection of previously unused music from the game.

Sascha Dikiciyan, also known by his artist name Sonic Mayhem, co-composed the main score for Mankind Divided and later created music for its DLC packs System Rift and A Criminal Past.

Now, he has published a set of tracks titled Fragments of the Machine (Data Archive Vol. 1) on his Bandcamp page.

The collection, released on August 25, 2025, is available to stream or download completely free of charge.

The compilation includes ten tracks, ranging from ambient demos to cinematic fragments, club music, and early theme ideas. These tracks were originally composed between 2015 and 2016 but remained unused in the final release of the game.

According to Dikiciyan, they come straight from his original hard drive and include authentic arrangement names, unfinished drafts, and alternate variations that never saw the light of day until now.

In a statement posted alongside the release, Dikiciyan explained that while the official soundtrack only featured a carefully curated selection, this archive provides a more unfiltered look into the creative process. He emphasized that the files are shared purely for personal listening, and not for commercial use or redistribution.

Interestingly, this release also comes just days before Dikiciyan’s new project, Metal Eden, launches on September 2. The sci-fi FPS, which leans heavily into cyberpunk themes, will feature his latest full soundtrack.
