Album Review: Live Restart 2015 by c0ma
Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into Live Restart 2015, a wild ride from Argentinian DJ c0ma that’s equal parts Drum n Bass chaos, Dubstep wobble, and IDM brain-tickling weirdness. Released in 2015 under his own label (because who needs gatekeepers, right?), this album is basically one big DJ mix—raw, unfiltered, and dripping with personality. It’s like c0ma just hit record and said, “Here’s my soul. Deal with it.” Spoiler: You’ll want to deal with it.
Let’s zoom in on the standout track, Live @ Restart 2015. This isn’t just music; it’s an experience. Imagine being at some underground Buenos Aires club where the bass rattles your ribcage and the beats are so sharp they might as well be made of glass. The track builds layer upon layer, throwing curveballs you didn’t even know you wanted. One minute it’s all pulsing synths and breakneck rhythms, the next it’s glitchy enough to make you question if your headphones are broken—or if your brain is. Either way, it sticks with you. Like gum on a hot sidewalk, but in a good way.
Another gem worth shouting out is the unnamed second half of the mix (yeah, c0ma doesn’t bother with fancy titles). Around the 25-minute mark, things take a turn for the surreal. There’s this moment—it’s hard to describe, but imagine dubstep had a baby with something alien, and that baby grew up listening to Aphex Twin. It’s unsettling, hypnotic, and oddly beautiful, like watching a storm roll in while eating nachos. You’re not sure if you should run or keep munching, but damn, it’s compelling.
What makes Live Restart 2015 special isn’t just its genre-blurring sound—it’s the vibe. This isn’t polished studio perfection; it’s messy, alive, and human. You can almost hear c0ma grinning behind the decks, pushing buttons like he’s solving a puzzle only he understands. And honestly? That’s refreshing. In a world full of algorithm-friendly playlists, this feels like finding a secret mixtape in the back of a dusty thrift store.
So, here’s the kicker: If you’re looking for background music to sip lattes to, this ain’t it. But if you wanna feel like your ears are going on a road trip through electronic wonderland, hit play. Just don’t blame me when your neighbors start complaining about the bass.
Final thought: Listening to Live Restart 2015 feels like c0ma hacked into your Spotify account and replaced all your chill playlists with pure adrenaline. And honestly? I’m kinda here for it.
