Slovenský producent Dead Janitor získal za jedenáct let svého působení na scéně i mezinárodní uznání a na novém albu Medusa přináší zcela vlastní originální zvuk. Výsledkem soudobé IDM elektroniky mixované s industriální špínou a syrovostí je zvukově pestré album, které přináší temné, minimalistické i taneční okamžiky. Dead Janitor debutoval v roce 2008 DIY albem The […]
