Of course, the multilayered melding of disparate sounds from far-off times that Daedelus has built a career on remain the focus of each mix. Whether the music reaches you through sweaty club speakers or the refreshing cool of headphones, it will become clear on first listen that this album could only be the production work of Daedelus.

He's done it again. Santa Monica's Daedelus unvails a kaleidoscopic puree of eclectic grooves drawing on Bossa Nova, found sounds, and Cary Grant-era soundtracks, precision crafted with a delicious IDM flair. Sophisticated and exhilarating, this rich 14-track masterpiece meanders with jazzy urban zeal through a surreal landscape grounded in the streetwise beat programming we've come to expect from the Mush camp. The sample selection is impeccable, and the fusion seamless, evoking dream-state imagery while keaping the heads nodding. Crafted the way an album should be. Daedelus Denies the Day's Demise is more than the sum of its parts. Highly recomended. - XLR8R
