# Desimal – Hyperboria / Arcanna Review
Desimal emerged as a notable figure in the electronic music underground during the early 2000s, establishing himself through releases that showcased a distinctive approach to drum and bass production. This 2006 release on the respected Citrus Recordings label represents a focused artistic statement from the artist during a period when drum and bass was experiencing renewed creative exploration beyond its mainstream peak.
The Hyperboria / Arcanna 12-inch captures Desimal at a moment of refined technical sophistication. Released during an era when vinyl remained central to electronic music culture, this two-track single demonstrates the artist's commitment to the format and the careful curation that characterized Citrus Recordings' output. The label itself had built considerable credibility within electronic music circles, making this release an important entry in their catalog.
Musically, both tracks exemplify the drum and bass sound of the mid-2000s while maintaining distinct identities. Hyperboria opens with the atmospheric textures and intricate breakbeats characteristic of the genre, establishing an immersive sonic landscape. Arcanna follows as the B-side, offering complementary material that rewards repeated listening and suggests these tracks were deliberately sequenced for both individual impact and collective statement.
The production quality evident throughout reflects Desimal's technical proficiency, with crisp drums and carefully layered electronic elements creating depth and detail that justify the vinyl format's continued relevance. This release appeals to drum and bass enthusiasts seeking both contemporary production standards and artistic substance beyond commercial considerations.
