Starting with "Dioptric" and its powerful, rolling rhythm met with scything synths and machine sounds generating a futuristic club workout.
"Inertial Orbit" has a more hypnotic feel with the main hook in the form of a sharp accent and swaying and delayed textures.
"Lunar Cycle" has a more jovial and jackin' feeling with cyclical elements creating depth in this metallic techno ride.
"Pulse Modulation" is a wild creation, using chopping highlights to make a grinding, analogue groove bursting with energy.
"Dioptric (Anthony Jimenez Remix)" strips the original down to super hypnotic and detailed piece that intertwines sonic effects into a heavy dub vibe with spaced-out, modular bleeps.
"Dioptric (DJ Hyperactive Remix)" opts for a jackin' and dynamic take with intricate percussion features for a racy and fun, club floor remake.
"Pulse Modulation (Project 313 Remix)" has an instant sci-fi feeling of space and hypnosis, adding swirling features to its make-up and later more abstract, tonal notes.
