Review: Yuksek - Extraball
- Apr 30, 2009
Extraball? What's this? It sounds like it could be some sort of futuristic term for a space age game involving a sport where competitors fight to the death with a deadly object. Whilst this makes hardly any sense to me at least, there are plenty of other straight forward and exciting things about this release.
Multiple vocalist echo throughout the track that "the time is now". I'm not entirely sure what it's time for. Maybe for us all to give up on Twitter on Facebook, look outside and release there's more to life then a computer screen. Or some global epidemic involving pigs and the flu.
The single Extraball is the lead release from French DJ and producer Yuksek from his forthcoming album Away From The Sea. Although we mock the French for chomping away on frogs and horse, we can't fault their electronic music output. Lord of the dance Daft Punk and Justice are two duo's who have made an impression around the world. Yuksek looks set to do the same with this tasty single.
If the single wasn't enough to make clubbers reach for their glowsticks, there is a host of slamming remix action. The producers may not be household names, but the beats and synths have been tweaked to rival that of any established DJ.
The EP drops in to digital retailers on May 4th. If your old fashioned and like to buy physical CD's, it will also be in all good record shops.
