Jacking Jack by Electric Rescue

Electric Rescue is one of France's leading techno exports. The Paris-based DJ/producer has written two new albums this year alone while delivering a long list of underground classics on Cocoon, F Communications, and Sci+Tec, amongst many more. A regular headliner at some of the scene's most revered clubs and festivals, heading up multiple labels including Skryptöm, and holding residences at iconic institutions such as Rex Club, the techno mainstay lands on Ilario Alicante's Virgo imprint for a fourth time with a quartet of classy, driving and impactful techno anthems.

He opens this EP with "Jack in Jack," which bangs the box hard. The drums are heavy, and the percussion is prickly, while frazzled synths surge through the mix. The equally excellent "2048 Cycles" pairs things back to a more subtle bassline and minimal drums, but they never let up as mind-melting synths are layered next to icy, oversized hi-hats for a high-energy trip.

"Jungle Voices" is another arresting cut with chunky, slamming drums and glitchy synth motifs peeling off the groove as a paranoid vocal wail remains ever-present and always trippy. Last but not least, "Fast Weeks" is a tingly woven tapestry of static electricity, acid-laced synths, and thudding kick drums. It's increasingly wild and loose and will surely hit hard in those critical moments.
