Obviously "Deenis" never heard "Feeling Up" by Photek.

Like he says "Grooverider only put out the VERY best stuff, no filler " Total Crap

Its a great Pity Photek signed Feeling up & Flavour of a sound to this label. because for some crappy reason Grooverider never released them. lost forever.

Review by Deenis Aug 29, 2010
A legendary label which was founded by non-other than Grooverider himself. Half the 12"s on this label are straight/up jungle classics! And the other half is just as good too, for those who may not have heard it. Amazing is the quality control on this label too: 20 releases over a span of 10 years: Grooverider only put out the VERY best stuff, no filler.

SO many crucial junglist essentials:
"Planet Dust" a tune so classic, we've probably all heard it
"Moving 808s" a flawlessly produced techstep masterpiece
"Alien Girl" classic Ed-Op action
"Still / Urban Space" one of the most interesting DnB 12"s I've ever heard
"Killamanjaro" some good 'ol "No U-Turn" gangsta techstep
Also: Some very excelent ragga jungle on the one-off 12" on Hard Step Records, the sub-label.

I Garuntee quality from the entirety of the Prototype catalog ...except maybe the Drumsound & Simon Smith record, that one is shit.
