What do you think is "one sided" about the approach? I'm genuinely interested, because I think that a lot of modern EDM these days is "one-sided," as you say -- however, I think it's hard to justify an entire form as one-sided, mostly because in order to do that you have to 1. Define where dance music is trying to get and then 2. Define the approach to that aesthetic space as "one-sided." It's true that mainstream EDM lacks complexity most of the time, but I think that has to do with the "popification" of dance music (or the "dancification" of pop music) more than the form itself.


Because dance music by definition is music made to make you dance, thereby limiting its potential. For instance, for a more striking example, the difference between, say, Deicide and Opeth, one goes for a straight genre-definition affair, the other doesn't attempt to limit themselves. That's probably a bad, and definitely an irrelevant to this topic, example,  but I hope you catch my jist.
As I said, there are always exceptions, I just think when someone creates something that goes towards a specific audience on preferred method of consumption (whether purposefully or otherwise), they are creatively tying one hand behind their back. That is what I think causes my perception of dance music, in general, being one-sided.

I like dance music, but it's not a genre that really connects with me, I find a bit too one sided in its approach (it is fulfilling a specific need after all) , and when it does connect it's usually a cheap thrill that dries up quickly. Though  there are always exceptions to any rule, for an example, x|k's Nestek and Outra still get me like they did the first time I listened, and hundreds of listens later I still adore it.

Why'd you include it in a single then?

The first track had a lot of nice stuff in it, especially the quiet sweeping backdrop around 1:30, though I thought the overslidey main melody was really grating,

tl;dr, do an ambient album

"The new record released by Sostanze Records overturns the 8 bit duo Buskerdroid and Microman. The power of the tracks is a show made up of sound images, characterized by a dogging and unexpected rhythm.
After a long work looking for a precise technique and a style that excited the Rome eletronic music scene, the duo has reached the leadership for its gender.
All tracks are composed and played with one Gameboy DMG01 running Lsdj software, there’s no VST or samples, no preset loops, no extra effects or post production. It’s just the Gameboy’s audio chip, screaming out loud. RAW RAW RAW is a release Sostanze Records is proud to publish, carrying forward the idea according to which expertise and quality can move freely on the web without dialing the numbers of your prepaid cards, realizing the dream of every music lover and above all spreading a positive message in a context nowadays more and more slave of the commercial logics. Top players." (From The Site)

Tracklist:
1. Smash It
2. Wanted
3. Break Life
4. Life
5. Taste thiz Shit
6. GB
7. In Your Face
8. R-32
