Released as a gift to his audience on his birthday, "Wired to the Machine" is a bold statement from multifaceted electronic artist GEttNER (Jacek Gettner). Known for his seamless fusion of Electro Industrial, Oldschool Dark Electro, Synthpop, EBM, Gothic, and Future EBM, this one-man project has cultivated a sound that balances retro flair with forward-looking ambition.
The track opens with a compelling intro that immediately establishes a cinematic atmosphere - spacious, layered, and full of sonic promise. These opening moments, along with several carefully constructed background passages, show GEttNER’s talent for developing immersive electronic textures. There’s a subtle sense of narrative that runs underneath the main structure, hinting at influences beyond the club floor - perhaps even a soundtrack sensibility in the making.
The rhythmic progression moves steadily, drawing on a classic EBM pulse, but one that’s enhanced by modern clarity. The sound design evolves on multiple levels, giving the track a multidimensional character that invites repeat listens.
That said, the vocal delivery could benefit from further development. Currently, it sits quite flat in the mix and lacks the dynamic range to match the richness of the instrumental. A stronger melodic line or additional layering could elevate the vocal performance to better mirror the complexity of the production. The foundation is solid, but the vocal aspect may need fine-tuning to reach its full potential.
"Wired to the Machine" features strong moments and thoughtful structure. It's a track that showcases GEttNER’s creative direction and growing musical identity. With some minor refinements, especially around vocal treatment and melodic expansion, it could transform from a promising composition into a truly standout release.
Happy birthday, Jacek - and congratulations on yet another engaging addition to your catalogue.
