Just in time for the weekend Hekler hits us with a proper dose of that special brew he’s been conjuring up in the lab. Channeling his inner mad scientist once again, the retro-tinged digital dreamscape of “Sync Mode” conjures up visions of a video game world run amok.
Opening with a deceptively dreamy cinematic vibe that feels like the approach to the final boss after you’ve defeated all other challengers, once the curtain is pulled back and the darkness comes raining down like a hammer, prepare to hit the deck as the monster stomp at the drop is sure to bring on some existential pain.
Just when you think you can’t take anymore, Hekler eases up on the throttle and gives us a moment of free-fall before rocketing us back into the Matrix with an extra dose of pain. With the second drop revealing the full power of the beast at the core, be sure to stick around for the full ride on this one as the synaptic overload is more than worth the price of admission.
Hekler’s “Sync Mode” drops today on Never Say Die so smash that sync button and stream / buy yours here.
