From what I remember Uusitalo’s previous efforts, were more dub fused filtered electronic stuff, this time I think he’s polished the sound a little bit and took the rhythmic elements up front as opposed to the textural reverby sound, more dancable stuff with hard kicks and synths. It’s not as experimental as AGF/Dlay stuff, or as bubblegum pop as Luomo stuff, something in between.
