Spooky Electric music has been described as:

"The listener is utterly swept away by the magical mix of brilliant chords and hypnotic voices."

"The percussion loops grooves hard and heavy like a sledgehammer. The beats pulsate relentlessly.
Bass-lines dance around the unremittingly grooves like a voodoo witch doctor in search of healing from this infectious sound."
