Magnetic Multiverse by Static & Bass: A Trip Through Electro House Wonderland
Alright, buckle up because Magnetic Multiverse by Static & Bass is one of those albums that grabs you by the ears and doesn’t let go. Released back in 2013 under TRXX (props to Germany for consistently killing it in the electronic scene), this gem dives deep into electro house territory but with enough twists to keep things fresh. It’s not perfect, sure, but damn if it isn’t memorable.
Let’s talk tracks—specifically “Magnetic Sunrise” and “Multiverse,” the two standouts that stuck in my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk.
“Magnetic Sunrise” kicks off the album like an energy drink poured straight into your headphones. The beat builds slow at first, teasing you with these hypnotic synths before exploding into this massive, euphoric drop. You know when you’re zoning out during a long drive and suddenly something snaps you awake? That’s what this track feels like. It doesn’t just play; it commands attention. And yeah, maybe I’ve listened to it on repeat while pretending I’m DJing in some neon-lit Berlin club—that’s how good it is.
Then there’s “Multiverse.” This one’s wilder, messier even, like someone took all the rules of electro house and threw them into a blender. But weirdly, it works. There’s this glitchy breakdown halfway through that sounds like robots arguing over who gets the last slice of pizza. Sounds chaotic, right? Yet somehow, it pulls you in deeper every time. By the end, you’re left wondering what dimension you just traveled through—and whether you want to go back.
What makes Magnetic Multiverse special isn’t just its sound—it’s the vibe. Static & Bass aren’t afraid to get experimental, even if it means risking a few missteps along the way. Sure, not every track hits as hard as “Magnetic Sunrise” or “Multiverse,” but the overall experience feels like stepping into another world. Like, imagine if Daft Punk decided to remix a sci-fi movie soundtrack—you’d get something close to this.
Here’s the kicker though: listening to this album made me realize how much music from 2013 still holds up today. Maybe we were onto something back then, chasing beats instead of TikTok trends. Or maybe I’m just nostalgic for a time when electro house ruled playlists instead of algorithm-generated playlists ruling us. Either way, give Magnetic Multiverse a spin. Who knows? It might just remind you why you fell in love with electronic music in the first place.
Oh, and hey—if anyone knows where I can score tickets to a Static & Bass live show, hit me up. My cat says she’s ready to rage too.
