Take Me High by Modulate & Petruccio – A Hardcore Blast from 2010
Alright, let’s dive into this beast. Take Me High is a no-holds-barred electronic album that slaps you in the face with its relentless energy and unapologetic vibe. Released back in 2010 under Divine UK Hardcore, it’s one of those records that makes you wanna smash stuff while dancing like an idiot. The genre? Hardcore and Happy Hardcore—yeah, we’re talkin’ fast beats, euphoric synths, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.
First off, the title track “Take Me High” hits hard. It’s not messing around. You’ve got these razor-sharp kicks pounding through your skull while layers of melodic riffs float above like some kind of sugar-coated acid trip. What sticks out? The build-ups are INSANE. They don’t just tease; they drag you kicking and screaming toward drop after drop until you're losing your damn mind. This tune isn't for the faint-hearted—it’s aggressive as hell but somehow still feels uplifting. That combo shouldn’t work, but holy crap, it does.
Then there’s another banger—I won’t name it (you gotta find it yourself), but trust me, it’s got this glitchy edge that sounds like someone took a blender to a synth rack and pressed play. The way they layer distorted basslines over hyper-speed drums? Pure insanity. Every time I hear it, I think my speakers might explode. Like seriously, how do they even come up with this stuff?
Now here’s the kicker: listening to this album feels like stepping into a time machine set to early ‘00s rave culture. But instead of being all nostalgic and sappy about it, Modulate & Petruccio flip the script. They take what worked back then and crank it up ten notches. No chill vibes allowed. If you’re looking for something soft or chill, GTFO because this ain’t it.
But honestly, the real magic here is how raw it feels. There’s no over-polished nonsense trying to make hardcore "acceptable" for mainstream idiots. Nope, this is pure, uncut madness straight from the UK underground scene. And yeah, maybe that’s why it sticks with you long after the last beat fades.
So yeah, if you’re into music that punches you in the gut and leaves you grinning like a lunatic, grab this album ASAP. Just don’t blame me when your neighbors start complaining. Oh, and one more thing—why doesn’t anyone make albums like this anymore? Seriously, where’d all the wild ones go?
