Arnaud Rebotini & Acid Washed - Redshifts to Blueshifts (R)

"SKYLAX RECORDS presents a monumental new release by two of France’s most revered electronic music icons: ARNAUD REBOTINI & ACID WASHED. This record marks the first chapter of a secretive 4-part project — each release forming a piece of a bigger picture — a bold and mysterious tribute to the roots and future of rave culture. Following in the footsteps of Rebotini’s landmark album "Musical Component", this new project feels like a natural evolution — deepening his vision while expanding it into new sonic territories. Without giving too much away, this is SKYLAX BLACK 2 (after the LAXBLACK 1 "Winter Sequences EP" which marked the collaboration between Rebotini & Skylax) and features a set of four stunning tracks. On the A-side, Redshifts to Blueshifts opens the EP with an epic and soulful Detroit-style journey, evoking the finest moments of Underground Resistance — militant yet emotional, full of futuristic melancholy. 99 Shakes follows with a more direct club-driven assault, propelled by massive synth riffs and machine-gun rhythms, pushing the boundaries of dancefloor energy. Flip to the B-side and discover Futur Race, a pure electro odyssey à la Juan Atkins and early Metroplex (think 1985 sci-fi transmissions), sharp, robotic, and ultra-funky. Closing the EP is Gen Mix, a powerful and cinematic slice of what can only be called Wagnerian techno — intense, dramatic, orchestral in scope, and unmistakably Rebotini. This release is a statement — timeless and forward-thinking. This release is the first in a series — a mysterious and powerful journey through sound, vision, and legacy. What’s next? You’ll find out… one piece at a time."

"French heavyweights Arnaud Rebotini and Acid Washed join forces for a four-part project that looks both backward and forward through rave culture's lens. The opener 'Redshifts to Blueshifts' is an expansive, Detroit-minded trip, militant yet soulful, its synths and pads recalling Underground Resistance's balance of futurism and melancholy. '99 Shakes' follows with more brute force, powered by hammering riffs and relentless drum programming that's built to punish peak-time floors. On the flip, 'Futur Race' nods to the electro transmissions of Juan Atkins, sharp, robotic and dripping in sci-fi funk. Closer 'Gen Mix' moves in an altogether different direction, piling on drama with symphonic grandeur, a Wagnerian slab of techno that refuses restraint. Across all four cuts, Rebotini and Acid Washed carve out something timeless, reverent yet brimming with forward intent." Juno Records
