Described as “four club-ready anthems” by his label, DJ Dextro‘s new EP, Spectrum Protocol, is pretty much that.
“Valquirius” wastes no time in dropping fast beats and heart-racing bass thumps. The title track starts off with repetitive electro beats and, for a moment, you think, “Is this going anywhere?” It definitely is. More beats start to pile atop the others and then looping synths jump on the heap and the mass grows and grows like some kind of undulating jellyfish that gets bigger as it gets closer to you. Then it becomes some kind of techno-industrial hybrid that pretty much sets off strobe lights in your brain.
“Inercia” is the sound of a robot having a panic attack at a disco. “Lenga Lenga” gets you pumped up to dance, run, fight, or finally clean out that overflowing closet you’ve been meaning to tackle for months. It’s easily the brightest of the four tracks and ends the EP with an uplifting feel, as if you’re rising to the surface of the ocean on a sunny day in Ibiza.
It’s short, but it packs a lot of beats into just four tracks. You’ll want this on your workout playlist.
Keep your mind open.
