Digital Reassurance - Marcix

Marcix's debut EP is batshit crazy. 

On second thoughts, 'batshit crazy' is the understatement of the century. "Digital Reassurance" is a crunchy electronic hybrid EP, taking the modern sounds of riddim and blending them with a nostalgia-infused complextro and electro house sound. Conceptually, it's been tried many times before, but Marcix has no intentions to just stop there. No, he's got bigger ambitions. What makes the "Digital Reassurance" EP such a brilliant breakout project is the stylistic choice to mash as much unfathomably deranged production as possible into what is actually quite a short average track length. Every track on this project is a frenzied pandemonium of strong basswork and frantic high-ends, held together by evershifting leads and the strange addition of almost funky instrumentation, cementing "Digital Reassurance" as fantastically chaotic project.

The high-end-heavy mixing is harsh, though, perhaps a bit too harsh. It's another stylistic choice, presumably, but it is a little over the top in places—honestly, though, the flow and sheer energy of the tracks is ample compensation. "Digital Reassurance" is a very innovative and promising record from Marcix, and I do hope that more like this is in store for both him and for Disciple in the future.
