This tune is simply one of the greatish tunes ever made it shook the cue club at one nation earlier played about 8 times during the night!! and at 5:43am when it came on for the last time we all got up and scanked. Shout to Bad Company for this DAPPA tune nice one boys!!!

When i first heard 'Planet dust' i just stood silently in amazement at what i had just heard! A sound to behold and what a disgusting bassline!! The tune starts off quite chilled with nice atmospherics before going all sient with glimpses of a dark reece sound. Then the vocal sample "It seem's like a million eyes are watching us" kicks in before the drop and you are left melted to the floor!
What a great tune from Bad Company and one that will always stand the test of time.

Nasty tune... The distorted loop prior to the drop gives way to an even nastier bassline. Choohn is one of a kind and instantly recognizable. Great to this very day. Right alongside "The Nine" and "Titan" as a D&B anthem that will always be heard in clubs and in various mixes. Simply put, it's a definitive classic that nevers seems to lose its edge.

You have to thank BC and the track 'Planet Dust' for bringing back the fat drop, a long forgotten art at the time; this tune re-invented it. The windy desert sounding sweeps and mangled samples prelude a now infamous distorted, gnarled up hoover riff, that really came into being again on this tune - an absolute monster. Add to that the hard as nails kick in the beat they use, this is backed up all the way to the end with some fresh and time-spent programming on the structure of the song, which can be sorely lacking sometimes from dnb artists. A never tiring classic.

I thought "The Nine" and "The Pulse" were amazing, NOW THIS!!! Bad Company never cease to amaze me, bringing out phat track after phat track. Planet Dust is an absolute stomper and i can't see it being put in the closet for some time. I think the big names will be using this one for a while. Well done to the BC cru for doing what everyone thought was impossible...
