Parts are dark, parts are melodic. Parts driving, parts hard-hitting. Single release Hadeda is a prime example of the deliberate boundary melding that has become an early hallmark of new label owner Dan Schultz's production. The more menacing elements give this track a distinct late-night club feel while the subtler groove and driving overtones deliver a track that is equally versatile as it is distinctive and is wholly representative of the sound currently tearing through the South African underground.
