How U Feel transposes a fresh sprouting of highly strung self-worth into four melodically vivid and hard-hitting jungle tracks. Through surging synth lines, rolling bass grooves, RnB vocal sampling and chrome-plated breaks, this EP is an ode to the powers of hyper-romanticism and melancholic devotion, and inward & outward emotional availability as their guiding force.

The EP begins with “Warm Wash”, kicking off with a steady dub reggae-inspired bassline groove, breakbeat-piano euphoria and a classic vocal sample. “Sacrificial” continues the dub influence with flutters of echoed vocal harmonies and acidic, airy synthesis. The title track takes the mood into a darker territory with a slow burner of retro-futuristic synthesis, dancehall-based breakbeat riddims, and a piercing vocal hook. “B4DB1DNESS (Vocal Mix)” brings forth an anthemic amen breaks dub of Tinashe’s “None of My Business”, prompting both tears and elation in the peak time. Closing out the EP is a remix of “Sacrificial” by Kultiv, which switches up the original mix with wobbling basslines and nocturnal junglist ambience.

In the depths of Athens City, Greece, DJ D0G2TH, spends his days observing his surroundings. Not a human himself, but an intergalactic being, he collects information on the way humans behave. Through his sets, he manages to create a fusion of bass and breaks, filtered through a street aesthetic. D0G2TH touches urban sentiment and leaves his mark on the four dimensional continuum.

Immersive love is a nostalgic tribute to the times of 2000s and the Netlabel scene. Back then independent musicians and music producers, used the internet to distribute their music without the intention of making a profit. They allowed other artists to use their music for free, which allowed them to express themselves without the constraints of the music industry. This passion for music-making spread to other musicians and listeners, leading to the formation of a network of labels and blogs that formed communities of individuals who created, shared, reviewed, and published the music of independent artists. However, the rise of social media and streaming platforms with algorithmic models led to a decrease in creative freedom and marked the end of this period.
