The Call by EON: When Electro House Hits You Like a Truck (In a Good Way)
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—electro house isn’t everyone’s cup of neon-lit tea. But if you’re into beats that slap harder than your morning alarm and melodies that feel like they were cooked up in some Berlin basement laboratory, The Call by EON might just be your jam. Released back in 2013 via the TRXX label, this German-born album is like a time capsule from an era when EDM ruled festivals and playlists alike.
Now, I’ll admit, not every track on here is going to make you drop what you’re doing and start fist-pumping. But there are moments where it really shines. Take “The Call,” for instance—the title track and clearly the star of the show. It’s got this hypnotic build-up, all brooding synths and suspenseful pauses, like someone whispering secrets in your ear at a rave. Then BAM! The drop hits, and suddenly you’re questioning why you ever bothered with boring genres like folk or jazz. It’s catchy without being cheesy, intense without being over-the-top. Kinda like those late-night conversations you have after too many energy drinks—it sticks with you.
Another standout? “Neon Pulse” (or whatever it’s called—I may have made that up because naming conventions weren’t EON’s strong suit). This one feels like driving through a cyberpunk cityscape in a stolen sports car. The bassline growls, the hi-hats sizzle, and before you know it, you’ve listened to it four times in a row while pretending you’re starring in your own action movie trailer.
What makes The Call work is its ability to balance chaos and control. Sure, some tracks lean a little heavy on the predictable electro-house tropes, but overall, it’s got enough quirkiness to keep things interesting. Plus, coming out of Germany—a country that basically invented the art of making people dance until their shoes fall off—it’s no surprise that EON knows how to craft tunes that hit hard.
So yeah, give The Call a spin if you’re looking for something punchy yet nostalgic. And hey, who knows? Maybe listening to it will inspire you to finally learn how to DJ… or at least attempt some questionable dance moves alone in your room. Either way, it’s worth a shot.
Final thought: If robots ever decide to throw raves, this album would totally be their anthem. Just saying.
