Musician from Elektrostal, Denis Ryzhov aka Anderdog, marks 2025 with the release of his LP The Way of the Dog—his first album on the SEALT label. The Way of the Dog is a nod to the iconic kung fu films of the last century, so it’s impossible not to notice the Hong Kong influence in the album’s soundscapes. The track sequence follows a typical warrior story arc: once upon a time, there was a Dog from Shaolin, from his first meeting with the teacher (The Way of the Dog) to the battle with his arch-nemesis (Tiger Style), from the hero’s despair to his eventual confidence that everything will be okay, and a time will come for a smile. The Dog’s journey in Anderdog’s style is a constant contrast of strength and flexibility, the relentless jungle beats with the clear skies of the finales. The artist stays true to his credo: still rejecting symmetry, which makes each of his tracks unpredictable, blending broken beats with tender instrumental monologues, and skillfully wrapping sharp IDM sounds in a lyrical package. Why not? As the great master Lee once said: “Softness cannot be broken.”
