Chilean electronic maverick Julio Pérez Solis (aka Neosintetico) detonates The Voice of Energy with an 11-track blast of breakbeat, dub, electro, and industrial firepower, instantly staking his claim as one of 2025’s essential disruptors. Bass-driven reggae flashes, Kraftwerkian pulses, and brutal hybrid mutations collide in a turbulent, genre-scorching surge that hits like a rogue transmission from the future.
Industrial dub erupts with fury
Chilean electronic maverick Julio Pérez Solis (aka Neosintetico) unleashes The Voice of Energy (La Voz De La Energia), an 11-cut sample-heavy barrage of breakbeat, dub, electro, experimental grit, and industrial force. Reggae pulses animate much of this journey, appearing as quick flashes that reveal Solis’ deep devotion to bass-driven tributes to Jamaican sonic lineage—just witness opener “Radio reggae music.” Those nods collide with echoes of early electronic pioneers like Kraftwerk, culminating in ferocious hybrids such as “God of Jamaican,” where the familiar Meat Beat Manifesto lyrics from 1996’s “Nuclear Bomb” surface (courtesy of Daddy Sandy, Daddy Rusty, Papa Levi and Tippa Irie feat. Daddy Colonel) in its final moments, erupting into a brutal industrial-dub detonation that practically demands repeat listening.
Solis keeps descending into shadowy digital badlands: “Espiritual Digital” drifts through illbient haze and downtempo pressure, beats blistering under distant, weightless reverberations. Every cut functions like a dispatch from some collapsing broadcast tower—distorted old-school samples, ghostly signals, fractured atmospherics. “Space Transmission” floats under a glitch-soaked shroud, peppered with subdued sci-fi murmurs and mission logs flickering across its void.
MBM’s fingerprints continue to appear as if drawn by shadows of RUOK? (2002) or Autoimmune (2008). “La voz de la energía”—a devastating title track—fires off vocoded bursts (thanks to its “Die Stimme der Energie” (Kraftwerk) samples) and shredded breakbeats, a surge of rugged synth squall pushing it toward album-highlight status. Contrast arrives via “Engaño,” sliding into sleek synth-swell funk without sacrificing weight. As this record slices through every dark-electronic crossroads, jazz-tinted phrases break into “Ojos que no ven” and “El día de Ayer,” while full-scale industrial chaos overtakes “Señal 6EQUJ5,” turning that moment into a towering pivot point.
Solis’ restless momentum summons spirits of Scorn, Witchman, and The Bug as “Reversa Emoción” unfolds, setting up a finale of pure demolition. “Mecánica industrial” finishes the 47-minute barrage with pummeling breakbeat disassembly—an uncompromising, abstract shockwave that refuses to ease its grip for even a second. Neosintetico uses The Voice of Energy to cut deep into the cracked shell of electronic dub, revealing a tough, resonant interior that all but guarantees its spot among 2025’s essential releases.
