Parisian producer merges Electro and New Beat setting fire to stomping and marching beats along with treacherous digging and syncopated mechanical low ends and strings of eerie glowing synth chords surrounded hypnotically by buzzing alarming flows and ominous swirling distorted vocal echoes and buzzing alarming flows, to travel to the outer dimensions of dancefloor euphoria whilst obscured in the hidden shadows of time.
