Dimitri Kechagias review: The fantastic bass producer from India Sound Avtar is back on Rub A Duck and he presents two really ace tunes that will keep satisfied the dubstep fans worldwide. The Superhero EP includes two very strong tracks that have certain elements that make them really distinctive, unique and stand out from others. Firstly Superhero is a powerful energetic bombastic track that starts with breaks/dub section with cool laid back atmosphere. The next sequence is rougher and wilder with some small sequences of epic synths that add atmosphere and melodramatic sound to the track. The breakdown includes great melancholic piano melody followed by 4x4 like faster section. The track finishes with attitude and great dominating powerful breaks like section. Twisted starts with summery sunny piano melodies supported by beautiful melodic synths. The first sequence is really glitzy, groovy and very funky as well with alien like distorted voice on top. The breakdown allows the main piano chords to appear and then finishes as it started. Futuristic cinematic video games sounds perfect for those who embrace the progress and see their potential!
