Album Review: Everyday by The Reactivitz
Alright, let’s dive into Everyday by The Reactivitz. Released back in 2016 on Funk'n Deep Records, this techno banger from the US still hits like a caffeine rush at 3 AM. It’s one of those albums that doesn’t try too hard but somehow nails it anyway. You know what I mean? Like when you stumble upon a hidden club and think, “Whoa, this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.”
The title track, Everyday, is an absolute vibe. It kicks off with this hypnotic bassline that feels like your heartbeat syncing up with the speakers. Then—bam!—the percussion drops in, sharp and relentless, pulling you deeper into its groove. There’s something about the way it builds tension without ever fully exploding; it keeps you hanging on, waiting for more. By the time the synths kick in, you’re already lost in it. Honestly, this track sticks with me because it’s not just music—it’s a mood. A late-night drive, a dimly lit room, or even zoning out during a mundane Tuesday—it fits everywhere.
Now, if we’re talking remixes, Everyday (Steve Mulder Remix) deserves a shoutout. Steve takes the original and flips it into something darker, grittier. The beat here feels heavier, almost industrial, like someone took the soul of the original and gave it a leather jacket. I remember spinning this version once while cleaning my apartment, and suddenly, mopping the floor turned into a full-on rave session. True story.
The other tracks, like After Party and Raul Facio’s remix, are solid too, but they don’t quite leave the same imprint as the two above. Still, they round out the album nicely, keeping the energy consistent without overstaying their welcome.
Here’s the thing about Everyday: it’s not groundbreaking, and it doesn’t need to be. Sometimes, simplicity done right is all you want. Listening to it feels like reconnecting with an old friend—you already know what to expect, but there’s still comfort in familiarity.
Final thought? If aliens ever invade Earth and demand to understand human emotions through techno, I’d hand them this album. And maybe throw in some snacks for good measure. Who knows, they might just vibe with us instead of vaporizing us. Either way, Everyday proves that great music doesn’t have to scream for attention—it can whisper and still make you listen.
