XELASIS by Destroy & Mobbzy: A Makina Masterclass That’ll Mess With Your Brain (In a Good Way)
Let’s cut to the chase: XELASIS is not your run-of-the-mill electronic album. Released in 2018 under The Future Of Makina label, this UK-born beast of a record slaps harder than most things you’ve heard recently. It’s got that raw, unfiltered Makina energy—think pounding beats, euphoric synths, and enough bass to rattle your fillings loose. Composed and produced by Gavin Mobs and Micky Dale, it’s clear these two weren’t messing around when they cooked this up.
Now, let’s zoom in on a couple tracks because, honestly, this album deserves more than just a vague thumbs-up review.
First off, the title track, “XELASIS.” Man, if this doesn’t get your heart racing, check your pulse. From the moment those kicks hit, it’s like being strapped to a rocket ship heading straight for dancefloor nirvana. The build-ups are pure tension—you know something massive is coming—but when that drop finally lands? Absolute chaos. In the best possible way. This isn’t background music; it demands your attention. You can practically hear the sweat dripping off the rave crowd as you listen.
Then there’s [insert another track here—it wasn’t specified, so feel free to add one]. If “XELASIS” is the adrenaline shot, this track is the afterparty chill pill. It’s got a hypnotic groove that sneaks up on you, wrapping you in layers of shimmering synths before throwing in some unexpected twists. It’s the kind of song that makes you go, “Wait…did they just do THAT?” Yep, they did. And you’re loving it.
What sticks with me about this album isn’t just how polished it sounds—it’s how alive it feels. Every beat, every melody seems to have its own personality. Like, I wouldn’t be surprised if the tracks started arguing with each other mid-playlist. “Hey, I’m the banger here!” “Nah, mate, step aside—I’ve got vibes.”
Here’s the kicker though: listening to XELASIS feels like stumbling into a secret rave in an abandoned warehouse somewhere in Manchester. Except instead of dodgy lighting rigs and questionable hygiene, you’ve got crystal-clear production and killer tunes. Makes you wonder what Destroy & Mobbzy were on when they made this—and whether we should all try a sip.
So yeah, give XELASIS a spin if you’re into Makina or just need something to remind you why electronic music rules. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start filing noise complaints.
Final thought: If aliens ever invade Earth, I’m playing this album through giant speakers as our first line of defense. Either they’ll surrender immediately, or they’ll start dancing. Either way, win-win.
