I ve been listening to large number of heavy dnb but the Empty Streets track is turning back and saying fuck off to everything. It combines awesome idm glitches and head-cutting drums with the most distorted basslines and scariest choirs there are. There is no track that changes so many moods like this one. The second drop can really make people jump and be shocked for a long a time or at least until the track's outro.

The first track on this by DJ Hidden is an absolute gem. Starts off downtempo, eerie, quiet even. Stays that way for a little longer than usual in D&B tracks, almost so long your think its a different kind of track. Then the distorted piercing bassline hits you like a 'diamond bullet in the forhead'. The drum/percussion changes come often and varied enough to keep things interesting till the end.
It is rare these days that I hear a track that elicits an involuntary gut-wrenching rush from me when completely sober but this is one of them. The other tracks are quite passable D&B although a little formulaic and nothing to write home about. Get this record just for the first track, it is, in a word - awesome.
