East Show by Micro_On: A Raw, Pulsating Beast of an Album
Alright, let’s get one thing straight—Micro_On doesn’t mess around. East Show, his 2011 tech house banger on Claque Musique, slaps harder than most albums in its genre. This isn’t some polished-over nonsense; it’s gritty, raw, and dripping with Italian flair. If you’re into electronic music that feels like it was made for dark warehouses at 4 AM, this is your jam.
First off, “A.U.”—the original version—is a monster. It’s got this relentless groove that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. The bassline? Filthy. Like, I-don’t-even-care-if-my-speakers-explode filthy. And those synths? They’re sharp enough to cut glass but smooth enough to hypnotize you. You know when a track just works? That’s “A.U.” for ya. Then there’s the Rio Padice remix of the same tune—same vibe, different flavor. Padice flips it into something deeper, darker, almost sinister. It’s like stepping into a smoky backroom where everyone’s losing their minds but no one wants to leave. Both versions stick with you because they hit hard without trying too hard. No frills, all thrills.
Now, onto “Deep And Low.” Damn, this track is nasty in the best way possible. The rhythm pounds like a heartbeat on steroids, while the low-end rumbles so deep you can feel it in your chest. When Jef K & Gwen Maze step in for the remix, they take things up another notch. Their version strips everything down to its bare bones before building it back up again with layers of tension and release. It’s moody as hell, perfect for losing yourself in the moment. Honestly, if these tracks don’t make you move, check your pulse—you might be dead.
What makes East Show stand out isn’t just the production quality (which, yeah, is top-notch), but how unapologetically real it feels. Micro_On didn’t overthink this album—he just went for it. Every beat, every note screams authenticity. There’s no pretentious crap here, just pure, unfiltered energy.
Here’s the kicker though: listening to East Show feels like eavesdropping on a secret conversation between machines. Like, what would happen if robots threw a rave? Probably something exactly like this. Weird thought, right? But hey, maybe that’s why it sticks with you long after the last track fades out.
So yeah, give East Show a spin if you want music that punches you in the gut and leaves you begging for more. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start complaining.
