Cultivated Electronics presents the first in new series of collaboration EP’s which see’s CE label head Sync 24 joining forces with other artists. The first instalment is with the the dark Electro purveyor The Exaltics. Together they serve up 4 moody yet diverse Electro tracks synonymous with the style you would expect from both of these producers.
German producer and acid head The Exaltics is back with a new EP on Shipwrec that comes with a remix by Unit Moebius Anonymous and terrific artwork by Jaco Putker. Real name Robert Witschakowski, The Exaltics is co founder of the Solar One Music label and has turned out a steady stream of EPs and LPs on labels like Trust, Creme Organization and Clone West Coast Series until now, always coming on strong with a dense techno style. Opener ‘The New Beginning’ continues in that tradition where electro drums are run through with racing acid and more serene and tender synths colour in the backdrop. ‘Coroded’ is a much more bulky and brutal techno affair with tough drums that roll up and down, even angrier acid lines and plenty of industrial percussion. Final original ‘Downwards’ is even quicker and more abrasive and barely allows you to catch your breath with its hurried kick drums, ripping 303 and frankly manic, metallic hi hats. The Unit Moebius Anonymous remix is suitably tough and teeth clenching with paranoid sirens, gun like percussion and a true sense of unstoppable force. Serious techno for serious heads, this is an arresting EP that it is impossible to ignore.
The Exaltics make their debut on Clone West Coast Series. This the first volume in a triptych of their stark, futuristic sound yet showing a more melancholic and introspective side this time. You can almost hear the longing for other places
Next on the “The Crystal Issue” series is EXS a side project from Robert Witschakowski better known as The Exaltics. Authentic Soul Techno flows on this one sided clear blue vinyl edition. German Techno rooted in Detroit for those who know.
Barely escaping the latest ‘Treuhand’ terror of the ex-Weimar Republic, ex-Third Reich and ex-DDR territory, ‘The Exaltics’ finally comes with His fourth and heaviest piece of ‘Zwangsarbeit’ so far within the realm of the Bunker/Panzerkreuz corpus, as this is true black ritual acid and darkcore industrial techno to the max! oh, by the way, did I already mention the war?
The Exaltics have been rippin’-up the acid vibes for some time now, gathering momentum from the efforts and hard work of imprints such as Solar One Music, Transient Force, Last Known Trajectory, Bunker and Panzerkreuz and of course more recently Crème Organization, Trust and our friends at Abstract Acid. As such, the time has come for a full-length acid project, entitled ‘Das Heise Experiment’ which originates from The Exaltics’ desire to take things a notch deeper, while pushing the acid a step into more menacing and quite devilish territory. For those that appreciate such dastardly dark styles, well, you will not be disappointed with this album. Coarse acid coupled with sublime soundscapes and ubiquitously haunting melodies make for the perfect combination.
The Exaltics return to Creme with this mondo otherworldly rip roaring robotronic assassination squad that exposes Judge Dredd as the cartoon character he actually is and tear him to shreds while they’re at it.
Elect Pt1 becomes the latest collaborator in The Exaltics Meets series following prior introductions to Morphology and Gosub. German speakers will be able to decipher Elect Pt1’s “Drei Chinesen Mit Dem Acidbass”, a potential retrospective nod to Bunker’s “acid planet” squat parties. A flabby kick, crushed hats and white noise sounding more like a baby robot tantrum than synthesis opens “The Party”, before unexpected doo-doo-doo vocals become the tracks centrepiece. The Exaltics opens his side of the 12″ with throbbing drums and hardedge acid in “The Midnight Connexion”, which later gives way to uplifting chords. Acid and breakneck drum loops make up “Nichts Aber Auch Nichts” which also receives some euphoric synth treatment.
Germany’s #1 electro project The Exaltics joins TRUST for a special EP: ‘Muted World’ shows the project at its most original, pairing subaquatic electro and electronica with acid touches and epic synths. Bristol hotshot Kamikaze Space Programme (DecaRhythm) supplies a sharp and hard hitting, AFX-inspired rework.
After numerous successful excursions for cult underground techno imprints such as Last Known Trajectory, Solar One Music, Bunker & Panzerkreuz, The Exaltics resurface this time around on another cool imprint, namely Abstract Forms, delivering a stealthy blow of three typically wonderful works, from the menacing tension of ‘Cold Lights’, to the cool acid-techno which is ‘With the Lights Out’, to the restrained electro shuffle of ‘The Last Resort’. Stunning. Flip over this split-release for three quirky cuts from UK counterpart, Koova, who has also featured on AC Records. Cool electro and a solid release to the AF catalogue.
Solar One Music is proud to present the second chapter of ”The Exaltics meets..” Series. After Gosub, this time the finnish Duo Morphology is in the game. Both artists deliver deep, moody electronic music with great melodies and beats. Perfect for your next trip to Mars with the ”Curiosity”.
After a very promising debut Modal Analysis strikes back with its second release, from The Exaltics. The mysterious electro master delivers two original tracks. Node#1 and Node#2 are mind-twisting tracks suitable both for home listening and club use. The EP finishes with a killer dance-floor remix of Node#2 by Delta Funktionen.
Solar One Music presents their new ‘The Exaltics meets…’series. The first one in the game beside The Exaltics is non other than the great Shad T. Scott aka Gosub, known for his unique style with lowslung basslines and melodies. 2 pure funk killer tracks from the veteran from miami. The Exaltics return to their homebase SOM, with their more melodic style they deliver 2 deep tracks full of wide melodies, dark basses and the typical Exaltics mood.
