about

"You can imagine the headfuck they might inflict during peak-hour at the rave. "

Resident Advisor said -

Modern electro tends to balance nostalgia with wide-eyed futurism. Galaxian's Uprising EP reflects that tension, but he's more willing than most to deviate from the template. "Stones & Sticks," which flies at drum & bass tempo, pairs jagged textures and submerged synths for a sound that's both agitated and oddly sad. "Daisy Cutter" and "Glasgow To Detroit" take the maximal route, stacking layers of explosive noise and effects onto otherwise simple beats. Like Container's best stuff, they're overwhelming—you can imagine the headfuck they might inflict during peak-hour at the rave.

A lot of electro is paranoid and vaguely dystopian, but Galaxian kicks those tropes up a notch. He's known for wearing a fighter pilot's helmet at gigs, and his music would suit the soundtrack to some sci-fi war movie. The title track takes that tendency at its most literal, with audio clips of soldiers under fire radioing for help and frantic newscasters screaming over the sound of bombs. Where a lot of dance music is about escaping your everyday reality, these scary, cinematic tracks reflect the horrors we tend to ignore. "Days Of Rage," with its corrosive acid line, is the most danceable track here, and probably the one most DJs will pull for. But even Galaxian's more functional transmissions emerge through a dense web of interference, a chaos and confusion that's become his calling card.
