ÆON:MODE is a project by created by Blanke, real name John Paul Orchison. In a AMA post from 2022 Orchison described the project as following: "a creative outlet that allows me to focus a certain energy into it and create a brand and a world that clearly indicates this expression. It's still me, but separating my Drum n Bass music into this pocket means i can foster peoples expectations. Like hey, it's Blanke, but just know if you see "ÆON" in front of something, it means its going to be space themed DnB."
