Future Forces Inc.* - Dead By Dawn / Point Of Origin

These tunes to my delight at the time moved drum n bass back into the darkness around 96/97 alongside tracks like Shadow Boxing by Doc Scott and Metropolis by Adam F. These also brought Future Forces (aka Maldini & D Bridge) into the big league, just before they grouped into the infamous Bad Company outfit. Dead by Dawn starts with a carefully constructed intro and then into some earth shattering dark side bass line pressure. Seriously big, which Randall absolutely championed back in the day. Point of Origin agains rolls out with smooth intro, and then drops into a throbbing sub low darker than dark bassline. As the track moves along the beats and bass get harder and more menacing, an absolute hardstep monster of a track. Both personal faves and will be in my collection for a long time. If you're looking into buying dark drum n bass this is a good starting point.
