Second LP from Egyptian producer Hashem Kelesh under his Dijit alias. Unlike its predecessor "Hyperattention", which sounded like it crawled out from a hazy opium room while playing trip-hop on an old walkman, "The Room" feels more polished and forward-thinking. Traces of various scenes that could be lazily summed up as UK bass music are weaved into Dijit's beats, giving his productions a contemporary feel. It still has this smoky, slow vibe though ("Hamhama" sounds like some lost r&b edit by oOoOO), that nicely ties it with the previous album. Album to smoke blunts to.
