SSREXTRA78 by Sascha Müller – A Deep Dive into Acid, Tribal, and Techno Vibes
Alright, let’s get into SSREXTRA78 by Sascha Müller. This 2019 release from Germany is a wild ride through the electronic scene, blending acid, tribal, techno, and minimal techno styles. It’s like someone took all your favorite late-night warehouse vibes, threw in some experimental twists, and slapped it on a record. The album came out on Super 6 Records, which kinda feels like the perfect home for this kind of raw, unfiltered sound.
Now, there are 21 tracks here (yeah, you read that right), so obviously I’m not gonna go through every single one. That’d be exhausting—for me to write and for you to read. But two tracks really stuck with me: “Acinaut” and “M-kng 4 (Sascha Müller Remixed Sascha Müller).”
“Acinaut” hits hard right outta the gate. It’s got this hypnotic acid line that just loops around your brain until you’re fully locked in. Like, I remember listening to it while walking home at night, and suddenly everything felt cinematic. The streetlights? Mood lighting. My footsteps? Part of the beat. It’s one of those tracks where you forget where you are for a sec, ya know? It’s not overly complicated, but sometimes simplicity is what makes something unforgettable.
Then there’s “M-kng 4,” which is basically Sascha remixing himself—and honestly, dude nailed it. It’s darker, grittier, and has this industrial edge that just slaps. There’s a moment halfway through where the bass drops out completely, leaving only these eerie high-pitched tones floating around. For a second, I thought my headphones broke. But then BAM—it comes back in full force, and you’re left thinking, “Okay, Sascha, you win.” It’s chaotic but controlled, if that makes sense.
The rest of the album kinda flows together as this big sonic journey. Tracks like “The OS Tracks 03” or “Fallende Elektronen” keep things interesting without overstaying their welcome. And props to him for including a radio edit (“12345678”), because who doesn’t love a trimmed-down version when you’re feeling lazy?
But here’s the thing about SSREXTRA78—it’s not trying to be anything other than itself. No frills, no gimmicks. Just pure, unapologetic electronic music. And honestly, we need more of that in a world where everyone’s chasing streams and clout.
Final thought? Listening to this album made me realize how rare it is to find music that feels alive. Like, you can tell Sascha wasn’t sitting there thinking about charts or trends—he was just making stuff he liked. And honestly? That’s pretty damn cool. Also, fun fact: after finishing the album, I Googled “Sascha Müller” and found out he also paints. Of course he does. Wouldn’t expect anything less from a guy who names his tracks things like “Fallende Elektronen.”
