Review by techstepper Oct 22, 2007
The deepest, darkest and nastiest Drum & Bass ever made. The crew of Trace, Ed Rush and Nico were arguably single handedly responsible for the creation of the techstep genre with their remix of T Power and MK Ultra's 'Horny Mutant Jazz', and then pushed the sound to it's nihilistic limit with the 'Torque' album, a classic of any music genre. Also laid the foundations of the neurofunk sub-genre with Ryme Tyme's 'We Enter' on the Saigon offshoot and possibly the Dubstep genre, having released Horsepower Productions' early tunes on Turn U On. No U-Turn will always have a place in Drum & Bass history as having released the darkest ones...
