BAR Germany Vinilo y CD

Review: Back in 2018, Gianluca Bertasi re-launched the TeslaSonic project he'd started with Valerio Lombardozzi in 2008 as a solo venture. This outing on Rotterdam imprint BAR Records is his third release since - an expansive six-track mini album that takes the electro template in a number of different directions. So while opener "Magnifying Transmitter" is a funk fuelled affair guaranteed to get you body-popping, "Neuralink" is a deeper affair full of picturesque synthesiser melodies and "Hydrex Returns" an alien-sounding slow jam that bubbles away at a seriously druggy tempo. Elsewhere, "Hydrex Acid" brilliantly re-invents that tune as an ultra-slow TB-303 workout, "Positronic Brain" is a deliciously wide-eyed IDM cut and the Animalistic Beliefs remix of "Magnifying Transmitter" is a Drexciya-style delight.
