The Exaltics – It Never Ends

You can always count on Clone’s Repetitive Rhythm Research label to bring a proper, hard-edged strain of techno that matches brawn with brains. Next up on the label after a knockout record from Frequency is The Exaltics, tailoring their signature electro style to a blown-out 4/4 sound to incite a thousand sweatboxes. ‘It Never Ends’ is brilliantly jacking, with deep space synths on top, and ‘Hammerheads From Outta Space’ doubles down on brute-force kicks and dirtbag leads. ‘Corroded From The Future’ dips into dystopian acid from the depths, and ‘Dumb MST Digital’ caps the record off with a stripped back 303 workout for those who carry a torch for the glory days of Bunker Records.
