Dungeon Rap: The Evolution
It's been 4 years since the release of already cult compilation Dungeon Rap: The Introduction. It became a foundation for the dark, melancholic Dungeon Rap genre, synthetically created by Alex Yatsun, a music producer from Kharkiv, Ukraine. This release gave rise to new artists, producers and labels that continue to develop this music in different parts of the world.
"Dungeon Rap is a brutal, phantom sound that is trapped in a time loop where no future exists. It is also a nostalgia for a vanished past that never existed. The eclectic mix of seemingly incompatible genres made sense when the diabolical lo-fi rap of Memphis was complemented by the equally dark and magical Dungeon Synth. It turned out that the two genres had a lot in common, from the low-budget DIY production to the overall atmosphere of the all-pervasive presence of evil. The combination of the haunting and the lost, the depressive yearning and hatred for a gridlocked world with no future - that's the spirit of this new genre. This is the music of the end of history."
