Rayme - Icebreaker

The second installment of RNDM CLUB raises the high bar set by the first outing, providing a masterful exercise in trance-inflected techno and sci-fi acid from the community mainstay Rayme. Drawing inspiration from Gibson's ‘Sprawl’ trilogy, ‘Simulation Stimulation’ is stepped to dystopian cyberpunk with direct references to ‘Neuromancer’ mythology in the track titles and sonic aesthetic of release. Opening with ‘Dex’, Rayme generates an uneasy sense of hyperkinetic rush through the crystalline melodic lines and relentless hard beats to evoke vivid images of the notorious psychostimulant from Gibson’s fiction world. All five cuts are primed to produce a spiritual space between the ungraspable abstractions of ‘Neuromancer’ and peak-time underground dancefloors at this decadent stage of late capitalism.  Having been a major player on the Moscow techno circuit for the last few years, Rayme knows how to make excellent off-world electronica at its most futuristic, uncompromising, and primal. ‘Simulation Stimulation’ offers a unique psychonaut sonic world and shows Rayme's commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring the outer limits of hard dance music.
