RBMK (original mix) - (4:10) 115 BPM
Review: The Hacker teams up with fellow French producer Commuter to bring some serious electro heat to Sync 24's label. Roentgen is a dark, dystopian take on the form, with echoes of Hacker's classic debut album, Melodies En Sous Sols. On "Roentgen Part 1" this takes the form of gurgling, ominous bass tones and eerie synths, while the second part leans even further towards menacing low end sounds, this time wrapped around a wiry rhythm. "RBMK" sees the pair take the tempo down a few notches, but still the same dark aesthetic remains, thanks to the use of a cold synth line. MMT-8's rugged dance floor version of "RBMK" completes this exemplary release.
