Our favorite Black Martian has returned for another interstellar mission with Club Mackan. Mundo D, captain of the Cosmic Exploration team, embarks on a retro-futuristic odyssey, delivering three stellar tracks that navigate the Synthiverse between the realms of EBM and Italo Body Music. Joining the crew on this voyage are Club Mackan captain Marcus Christiansen and Karl Draum, helping steer the ship through the vast Synthiverse, adjusting the course with their own cosmic interpretations. The title track, Cosmic Exploration, launches with 80s-heavy EBM percussion and bass, paired with razor-sharp saw synths that slice through the atmosphere. Echoing elements of rave, progressive house, and trance, it’s a prime example of what we like to call Italo Body Music—driving, hypnotic, and yet catchy. Music follows a similar orbit but veers slightly toward electro, while still harnessing the piercing energy of the saw synths. It’s a cosmic signal pulsing through the ether, charged with nostalgia yet wired for the future. Rounding off the journey, Death Match is an intense collision of 80s influences fused into a modern powerhouse, its intricate arrangements ensuring that this sonic duel is one for the ages. When Marcus Christiansen assumes control of Cosmic Exploration, the course shifts. The ride is smoother, yet curiously bouncier—propelled by iconic 80s snares and drifting somewhere between synthwave, trance, and piano house. A new trajectory, but still within the same constellation.
