/Tech-dub, Glitch techno, Minimal techno, Dubstep, Deep techno/

Comment: this album is represented through 4 long-running tracks each of them is longer than 10 minutes. These one used to explore the depth of dub layers and the width of glitch-based oscillations and the frequency of minimal techno beats. It is soft and warm yet somehow terrifying thus getting close to the territory of dubstep music. It won`t be wrong to say the issue is a subtle combination of maximal and minimal efforts and attitudes.

/Dub-tech, Experimental electronica, Club dance, Dub-house/

Comment: DD originates from Macedonia providing a handful of lush tracks running on gritty dub landscapes and vibes with crackling hiss and undulating hum and lofty synth whiffs all of that is fused with the presence of club dance grooves and turns. Of course, all these elements are seamlessly and organically interlaced with each other thus constituting an organic whole. Ina word, it is a little smarter than an average club-oriented album used to be. It is IDM (intelligent dub music at the moment, though) thought for your soul and body.
