Exilles – Sonic Chronicles EP

Exilles unveils Sonic Chronicles EP, a six-track odyssey through dreamy techno landscapes and driving, visceral rhythms. Inspired by medieval intricacy and the raw energy of techno, the EP blends timeless detail with bold power for a sound that feels both grounded and new.

Opening the EP, Kemokoji feels like tracing footsteps in a forgotten cathedral, its dreamy undertones pierced by the clarity of a resounding kick. Acidic tingles and delicate bell-like tones echo through a vast sonic expanse, creating a hypnotic allure.

Progressive and charged, 133HP takes the listener deeper into a heady, big-room soundscape. Thick kick-bass interplay and a hypnotic momentum carry an almost trance-like progression, evoking surreal dancefloor delirium.

Run Into The Void plunges into the abyss with pounding kicks and acid slabs that shimmer and rebound through reverb. A rattling percussion rhythm emerges in the drop, adding urgency and weight to the void’s relentless pull.

The EP’s most ferocious offering, Drums of War, marches forward with rapid-fire intensity. Its churning acid lines and melody-inflected synth grooves strike a balance between brutal and sublime, conjuring images of ancient battlefields set to an unforgiving techno pulse.

Lifka transforms 133HP into a towering remix that highlights its dreamy origins while pushing tougher, rattling percussion to the forefront. The drop flirts with classic, infectious motifs, making it both familiar and refreshing.

Nika Key’s take on Kemokoji delves deeper into its atmospheric core, amplifying its bassy kick and expansive synth reverbs. A distinctive steel-bell hat adds texture and character, resonating like a distant, metallic chant.
