Inverse Process by Exal: A Techno Beast That Kicks You in the Chest
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Exal’s Inverse Process isn’t here to hold your hand or whisper sweet nothings into your ear. This 2015 UK-born techno monster comes at you with teeth bared and fists clenched, ready to smash through whatever pretentious playlist you’ve been nursing lately. Released under Prodigal Son (yes, they named it twice like some kind of biblical fever dream), this album slaps hard, especially if you’re into that raw, unfiltered electronic vibe.
Now, I’m not gonna sit here and break down every damn track because who’s got time for that? But two cuts on this beast stand out like a sore thumb—and trust me, these are the ones you’ll remember when the night gets blurry.
First up is “Eltani (Inigo Kennedy remix)”. Holy hell, this remix doesn’t just tweak the original—it rips it apart and rebuilds it into something darker, nastier, and way more satisfying. The bassline hits like a freight train, all growling and relentless, while the percussion feels like someone took a sledgehammer to an old oil drum. It’s chaotic but controlled, messy yet precise. And those synths? They slice through the mix like razor blades. If techno had a fight scene, this would be the soundtrack playing over slow-motion punches. You don’t listen to this track—you survive it.
Then there’s “Inverse Process (Hector Oaks remix)”, which flips the title track into pure madness. Where the original “Inverse Process” keeps things brooding and hypnotic, Hector Oaks takes it to another dimension entirely. This remix is like being strapped to a rocket and launched into deep space without a spacesuit. The kicks are so sharp they could cut glass, and the atmosphere feels alien, cold, and utterly suffocating—but in the best possible way. It’s one of those tracks that makes you question reality after five minutes of listening. Is this even music anymore? Or just a sonic assault designed to scramble your brain?
Look, I won’t lie—this album ain’t for everyone. If you’re looking for chill vibes or background noise, keep walking. But if you want something that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go, then Inverse Process is your ticket. Listening to it feels like stepping into a dark warehouse where the air vibrates with energy and danger.
And honestly? That’s what makes it stick. Most albums fade into the background after a few weeks, but this one stays with you. Maybe it's because it sounds like rebellion bottled up in eight tracks. Or maybe it’s because it reminds you how alive music can make you feel—even when it’s trying to destroy you.
So yeah, crank this sucker loud enough to piss off your neighbors. Because life’s too short for boring beats.
