The focal point of Zabelov Group's approach to music comprises of a broadly ranged concept of jazz, a fascination with rhythmic sequences and abstract vocals, experimentation and constant search for novel sounds enhanced by multicultural fusion. Along with acoustic instruments, the duo uses synthesizers and various other sound effects. The key musical elements are continuous spontaneity on stage and the skill of weaving momentary moods into the final musical expression. The duo has been active since 2012. The duo’s latest work is single Dive (2023) from the upcoming album. The track is shaped by the element of trance that comes from repetitive processes that evoke a dive into unchartered depths to the musicians. It was, therefore, only a small step to name the whole composition after this feeling. EP Madhouse Session was released in 2020 by Minority Records. While the previous album Eg is a precisely puzzled highly-developed studio piece which came into being at multiple locations with contributions by various guest-artists and did not allow for all the tracks to be performed live due to its demanding nature, Madhouse Session is a live recording of concert preparations.
