Soundhulk’s Self-Titled Beat Odyssey: A Techno Slugfest from 2018
Alright, buckle up, because Soundhulk’s self-titled techno banger isn’t here to hold your hand. Released in 2018 under Russia’s Subwoofer Records, this album punches you right in the gut with its relentless beats and glitchy madness. It’s raw, it’s gritty, and honestly? It doesn’t give a damn if you can’t keep up.
First off, let’s talk about “Neon Shakedown.” This track slaps HARD. Imagine being chased through a neon-lit alleyway by some cybernetic beast while your heart is pounding out of your chest—that’s what this feels like. The bassline growls at you, refusing to let go, while these eerie synths hover around like they’re mocking you. You don’t just listen to this; you survive it. Every drop hits like a sledgehammer, leaving you breathless and kinda pissed off—but in the best way possible.
Then there’s “Static Fury,” which is basically an assault on your eardrums (and I mean that as a compliment). The intro lures you in with these cold, metallic clicks before exploding into chaos. It’s chaotic as hell but controlled enough to make you wanna smash something—or dance until your legs fall off. Around the 3-minute mark, the beat shifts so hard it feels like someone flipped a switch inside your brain. You won’t forget that moment. Ever.
What sticks with me about this album is how unapologetically RUSSIAN it feels—not in some cliché balalaika way, but more like… yeah, it’s freezing outside, everything’s dark, and you’re stuck in a warehouse where the DJ hates happiness. There’s no softness here, no apologies for the noise. Just pure, industrial-grade techno that grabs you by the throat and shakes you awake.
And hey, maybe that’s why I respect it so much. In a world full of polished EDM garbage trying too hard to be chill, Soundhulk reminds us that music can still be dangerous. Like, who needs comfort zones anyway?
Oh, fun fact: listening to this album makes me want to start a fight club. Or quit my job. Probably both.
