ИДА008 is a mini-album by Metallic Means, and the artist’s very first release, titled The Deep Fields. The name comes from Hubble Deep Field, an image made by Hubble Space Telescope in ’95. Tracks on the mini-album are produced during different times of Metallic Means’ music journey from classical piano and guitar training to hip-hop and dub production to Bonobo- Flying Lotus-inspired electronica. The eclectic background of the artist can be heard in very musical, atmospheric, highly sampled beats, constructed from unusual textures mixed with synths and live instruments. It’s a melancholic but often cheerful record.  

ИДА is record label from Moscow that grew up from the local club night bringing one of the most prominent DJs from around the world to the city.
