Capracara - Panic Beats

  • Share
  • The electro-heave that begins Capracara's "Panic Beats" could go anywhere—electro, Brazil and glitch are audible in its steady roll. But when the synths come in bright and hissy and pointed, and then the bass sequencer starts jumping up and down, the track shows its cards: this is vintage terror-flick synth soundtrack music. Lot of that going around lately, huh? "Panic Beats" was on the Seed X Part 3 compilation back in June, but the re-rub on the B-side by DiskJokke gives it a new lease two ways. The widescreen purview that stamps DiskJokke's music is most of what he brings to "Panic Beats." The beats are thicker, but not obtrusively so; the synths are more even and insinuating, rather than wild and hooky. A high siren squeal enters the remix early, and is so eerie I hoped it would be a repeating motif, but alas, just the once. Instead, there's a gradual glazing over as the track moves on, almost like a dub, where all the aural close-ups somehow make everything gauzier.
