Hyperstellar – Message To Nowhere (The Hacker remix)

Ruben Benabou marks out and identifies another sonic constellation; this is a rapid indie trance-dance four-tracker of galactic ambition and scale. Drawing inspiration from sci-fi soundtracks, and the warmer currents of electro, leaders ‘Message To Nowhere’ and ‘Words In A Void’ also recall the gladdened awe of space disco, with twinging leads skirting about the stereo like passing shooting stars. The Hacker’s version of the title track plays back like an 8-bit minigame version of the main mission, with its pocket-generated drums, while ‘A Thousand Nights’ is a prime exercise in retro synthwave, and the perfect closer.
