All Systems Are Lying / Run Free (Nite Versions)

Soulwax

High-octane Belgian electro that strips away the rock artifice for pure, modular-driven club momentum. It is the sound of machines pushed to their limits.

This release represents the pinnacle of the Soulwax 'Nite Versions' philosophy: the transformation of structured songs into fluid, relentless club odysseys. It sounds like a high-speed chase through a neon-lit metropolis, where every gear shift is perfectly timed and every turn is executed with surgical precision. The Dewaele brothers have moved away from the indie-rock sensibilities of their early career, embracing a hardware-centric sound that feels both vintage and futuristic. The tracks are built on a foundation of thick, saturated analog basslines and motorik drum patterns that demand physical movement.

Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden evaporation of the low-end in All Systems Are Lying that leaves a solitary buzzing synth to carry the tension
the polyrhythmic percussion build-up in Run Free that feels like a machine slowly gaining consciousness
the way the spoken word vocals are chopped and gated to become part of the rhythmic grid
the final two minutes of Run Free where the analog filters open up for a searing white-noise climax
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
