Sadistic – Another 30 Minutes Of Sonic Power [CSRDIGI010] – track review

2017 starts out nicely as Sadistic’s digital EP Another 30 Minutes Of Sonic Power is released on Canadian Speedcore Resistance! It’s a sequel to his 25 Minutes of Sonic Power, which came out on CSR 2 years earlier. Sadistic’s previous works, as well as CSR’s latest releases, have gone by unnoticed for me so far and coming across this EP was a very pleasant surprise. His music is an interesting development in the primarily underground psychedelic hardcore, which has been evolving into many directions since early PCP releases. The EP consists of 4 tracks with cosmic themes and sounds expressing the intensity and mysteries of the universe in the form of hardcore. Sadistic is filling the gap between subgenres such as flashcore, crossbreed and UK hardcore techno (i.e. Deathchant etc.) as they are merged together into a unique fusion of space hardcore clocking in at around 210-217 bpm. Track elements include smashing and rolling bassdrums with a twist of higher laser frequencies, crossbreed snares, aethereal soundscapes and melodies as well as ASMR tingles inducing effects. Although the tracks are more easily digestible and dancefloor friendly than many of the more experimental flashcore releases, they don’t succumb into typical buildup and drop boredom either. There is enough variation to keep things interesting and everything flows smoothly. Soundtrack for inner space travel and cosmic dancefloors!
