Serotonin by Exergonic – A Riot of Beats That Won’t Let You Sleep
Alright, buckle up, because Exergonic’s Serotonin is not here to play nice. Released in 2013 under Digital Soundwurx (UK), this album slaps harder than your morning coffee and doesn’t apologize for it. If you’re into Electronic music with a Hardcore and Happy Hardcore twist, this one might just rearrange your brain cells.
First off, the title track "Serotonin" hits like a freight train on steroids. It’s relentless, chaotic, and dripping with euphoria—like someone spiked your energy drink with glitter and rage. The kicks are so sharp they could cut glass, while the synths spiral out of control like a sugar rush on overdrive. You don’t listen to this track; it hijacks your ears and takes them hostage. I remember it vividly because after hearing it once, my heart rate stayed elevated for an hour. Is that healthy? Probably not. Do I care? Absolutely not.
Then there’s another banger—I can’t recall the name, but damn if it doesn’t feel like being chased through a neon-lit cyberpunk city at 200 BPM. This thing layers melodies so thick you’d think it was built by some kind of musical mad scientist. Every drop feels like a punch to the gut in the best way possible. Tracks like these remind me why I fell in love with Hardcore in the first place: unapologetic intensity mixed with just enough melody to keep you hooked.
Exergonic isn’t reinventing the wheel here, but who cares when they’re running people over with it? Serotonin doesn’t aim for subtlety—it grabs you by the throat and demands attention. And honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what we need. Life’s too short for boring beats.
Here’s the kicker though: as aggressive as this album gets, it left me feeling oddly… calm? Like, yeah, my chest hurt from all the bass, but there was something cathartic about letting the chaos wash over me. Maybe serotonin really does come from smashing your face into a wall of sound. Or maybe I’m just losing it. Either way, worth every second.
