Profile: I leave, breathe, eat & shit rave music! I collect & mix most forms of drum & bass, mostly stuff from 1992-1997. I have a soft spot for Darkcore, Jungle-Tekno, Intelligent Jungle, Ragga Jungle, Techstep & everything else...except Jump Up.
Although the ruffer & darker sounds are my passion, I also love old skool happy hardcore-type stuff too, breaks, pianos & strings make me wanna dance!
I'm also producing some tunes at the moment too, and am hoping to start a label in the near future called Sextraterrestrial Records.

Reviews & Discussion:

All the tracks are pretty sick on this release, the one that stands out for me though is LAB/Delay's BIG BAG OF WINDEM ('My name is cocaine, I will mess up your brain...') - blindin' piece of ragga jungle, tears down the place whenever I give it a spin!
So glad I picked this one up! Everybody is one of my all-time favourite jungle tunes (and that's hard to say, coz there's so much out there!) Positive vibes in there... The remix of So This Is Love is good too, nice & on-form release from Moving Shadow. Thumbs up!
Paradise - what an amazing tune! Sends you somewhere else...intelligent jungle all the way! Crystl was a pioneer, much under-rated! D&B wouldn't have evolved into what it is without the proto tracks he produced.
As much as I love Warpdrive, I think it's The Dark Crystal which stands out for me! Inna Year 3000 ain't as good (subjective of course) but this is one I always manage to find room for in my mixtapes, especially when tings get DARK!
My copy has A side listed as L.F.O 2001 and the B side as Let's Get Dirty...might just be my copy though?!
LETHAL!!! This will do SERIOUS damage in any set, a nice secret weapon! 'Haters' is the darkest of the two, the drop @ the end with heavy ragga vocals is nasty! 'Go Home' is nice & bassy, but has a nice happy peak to it. You might wanna -7 the pitch to mix it in with the older stuff though, I guess it could also be mixed with breakcore too.
Well what can I say? Stunning jungle/hardcore EP, well worth picking up if you find it! All of the tracks are dope, can imagine this doing some serious damage a rave/old-skool event....played it to my mate the other day (another hardcore fan) & he was amazed i'd picked it up. This will be treasured for sure!!!
