Cosmosolar’s Chapter 25 EP on Critical Monday presents a thrilling journey through the intersection of techno and rock, encapsulating a sound that is not only innovative but also built for the club. Critical Monday, led by Bonnie Spacey, continues its reputation for pushing boundaries within the electronic music scene, and Chapter 25 is no exception.
The EP opens with Fastliker, a track that grabs you instantly with its pounding bassline and fast-paced rhythm. The production is tight, with sharp synth stabs and a relentless drive that makes it a guaranteed floor-filler. The rock influence is clear in the structure, with a raw energy that permeates throughout, giving the track a certain rebellious edge.
The second track, Mon Yarlux, slows things down but doesn’t lose any intensity. Here, Cosmosolar crafts a more atmospheric piece, with intricate sound design and a haunting melody that gradually builds in tension. The layering of sounds feels organic, creating a sense of anticipation as each element subtly grows in prominence. The track seems designed for late-night club sessions when the energy shifts to something deeper and more introspective.
Rounding off the EP is a remix of Mon Yarlux by Bonnie Spacey and Rems Martinez, which takes the original’s haunting vibe and transforms it into a minimalist techno banger. The remix plays with space and repetition, letting the rhythmic elements breathe while keeping the energy tightly coiled. It’s a fitting conclusion to an EP that seamlessly blends innovation with club functionality.
