Cosmosolar returns with Chapter 25, a three-track EP that once again blurs the lines between rock and techno. Released on Critical Monday, the EP embodies the label’s commitment to delivering edgy, innovative electronic music. Run by Bonnie Spacey, Critical Monday continues to build a catalog that challenges the status quo, and Chapter 25 is no exception.
The opening track, Fastliker, is a frenetic, pulse-raising affair. Right from the first beat, it commands attention with its relentless tempo and aggressive bassline. The techno elements are front and center, but there’s a distinct rock influence in the sharp, distorted synths and gritty textures that add a sense of urgency and rebellion. It’s a track designed for the dancefloor, sure to get bodies moving with its infectious energy.
Next up, Mon Yarlux takes the EP in a different direction. This track slows the pace, offering a darker, more introspective vibe. The production is lush and layered, with deep basslines and shimmering synths that create an immersive, atmospheric experience. There’s an emotional depth to Mon Yarlux that sets it apart from typical techno fare—this is a track for listeners who crave more than just a beat.
The remix of Mon Yarlux, crafted by label head Bonnie Spacey and Rems Martinez, strips the original down to its core elements, transforming it into a minimalist techno piece. The remix emphasizes rhythm and space, with each beat and bass hit feeling deliberate and measured. The hypnotic loops and subtle changes in the mix create a mesmerizing effect, perfect for a late-night set.
