Hot on the heels of their sold-out vinyl experiment “EFM01”, Belgian electro act CUBIC returns with “EFM02”, a digital EP that both complements the exclusive vinyl 12” and expands the sonic universe unveiled on the recent “Back to Basics” album. Across 7 tracks, “EFM02” captures the essence of CUBIC’s trademark sound: 808-style drum programming, hypnotic bass modulation, computerized vocals and razor-sharp sequencing - all injected with rave energy, breakbeats and four-to-the-floor drive. Opening cuts “Binary Code” and “Nanobots” are pure electro bangers, while “OFM” and “My Home Computer” appear here in fresh alternative versions, reshaping the vinyl takes for the digital realm. “TCM” pushes further into club territory - a dark, relentless dance track that wouldn’t feel out of place in a set by THE HACKER, while RT28XO evolves from a shelved demo into a fully fleshed-out exclusive electro weapon. Closing the EP, the long-awaited original mix of “I Travel” reveals its darker, more industrial core, driven entirely by the Modor DR2 drum computer. Like “EFM01”, the artwork for “EFM02” is a direct nod to the Modor DR2, underlining the band’s deep connection to analog machines and hardware aesthetics. For those who missed out on the strictly limited vinyl, “EFM02” is your chance to experience the full spectrum of CUBIC’s uncompromising electro vision - raw, precise, and designed for both the dancefloor and the underground.
