Review by darkmatter Oct 24, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
The label that started neuro-funk. This is the baddest, darkest music that pushes the boundaries of d&b when other labels are to scared to go and rely on the same old tried and tested tunes. Hope we see some good tunes in the future from this legendary label.

I can't believe there are no comments about this legendary label, by the probably most famous dnb-duo Ed Rush & Optical.
From the Wormhole LP, continuing with Matrix' Sleepwalk Lp and tons of other gems of the so called "neurofunk"-sound, nearly every release is a classic.
Even though it has to be said that in the last two years, the label had some lowpoints. The baron 12" for example, or the reese/sicknote rmx release was a bit weak compared to the rest.
