Review by raindance_rob Sep 28, 2007

Even before Fracus got his big brake, he was always one of my fav djs on Dimension FM. With great tune selections & tight mixing. He's always had great skill when mixing & unlike many hardcore djs he can also scrach properly & doesnt over do it either. It was also kool when he used to add samples into his mixes which made them unique.

I miss the days (& nights) when i used to spend all weekend (from friday till sunday) locked on to Dimension FM & Fracus or XL as i remember him being known for years stood out from the rest :o)
