Electronica / Ambient

Are you bored with sounds bouncing off dry land? Letís dive. Breach the murky surface and discover a world without bounds. Between waving sea grass and luminous coral lies a submarine sound machine. Octopi wrap multi-arms around barnacle harps and seahorses pump organs to open oscillating oysters while mermaids spin kaleidoscopic starfish with bubbling bassoons. Adventure Time conduct the swirling currents of this aquatic orchestra with electric wands. How did these longhairs create the now sound of hip-shaking seafloors? Submerge deeper.

Daedelus & Frosty combined wonder twin powers to record an album of unfathomable depth. dreams of water themes is a cut and paste adventure through distant corners of mythical maps. Hip-hop a piggyback ride on Brazilian robots powered by electronic dub echoes. Look to the left, dusty drums scatter hieroglyphs across glacial strings. Follow the bass to find a Jamaican yard style bash. Sip a sound wave and float into a Bedouinís daydream. Adventure Time weave audio action with magic sea foam. So, who are these surreal sonic soothsayers? Letís dabble in fact:
