REVIEW: Skylex - Chrysippus out on AERYS / Armada

9.3
Overall Score

Unrelenting from start to finish, Skylex's debut on AERYS shows no mercy at all. Ripe with gated synth sequences, big kick drums and a full-on bassline on a rampage, 'Chrysippus' is ready to crush your ear drums once and for all.

Summary

Skylex is rocking with his releases on various labels. His track Chrysippus on AERYS is a massive psy tech trancer that has all the right amounts of relentless energy to bring unforgettable moments of dynamism and adrenaline charging on the floor. While the outside first part and second part is bass focused with twisted basslines and dirty raunchy kicks in true psychedelic fashion, the breakdown is emotional and sensitive with magical female voices, rolling driving breaks and huge orchestral strings to deliver intensity. It would be great to carry on with the same melody in the climax and give it an uplifting lift but rather Skylex goes to the dirty moody psy tech vibe for mainstage performances. #PureTechTrance Love It
