    This is an album that sounds invigoratingly abrasive when you're moving and pins you to your seat when you're not, a study in pushing the limits of distortion that works as just plain good club music.

    He merges genres and styles, and it's impossible to resist his bass heavy and chest bursting productions.

Standouts like "Chrysalis Records", show Egyptrixx's ability with manipulating his sound into his specific (and rather dark) desires. The true charm lays in the richness of electronic sounds, fading, warping, twisting melodies and beats into something that evolves and keeps interest. I'd consider it a step above Redshape's "The Dance Paradox" [2009] in albums that share an eerily sinister tone through beat-driven techno.… Expand
