Sub Focus - Sub Focus - 12-Oct-09 11:56 AM
At long last, one of the most talked about [and delayed!] album is amongst us by certainly one of the most talented drum & bass producers in recent years.

Sub focus unleashes his self titled debut album which has had heavy support from Radio 1 and all the big A-list djs in the world lucky enough to have had promos of the album. Below are close ups of what i consider to be highlights from this great album.

The cd starts off with the stunning Vangelis inspired Let the story begin with a intro that will literally knock your socks off! and that is before the electro synth line and heavy drop which has destroyed club nights across the world!

World of hurt is heavy as a sumo! with its catchy vocals and serious sub bass drop which will shake you to the core.

Follow the light is one of the highlights with its upligting melody and clever drum programming.

Last Jungle has been hailed as a true original with its slowed down amen drums and haunting melody.

Deep space is Sub focus showing his dance floor credentials with this deep & rolling tune.

Rock it is the top 40 chart hit with a stunning intro feat the sounds championed by Daft punk, this has certainly recieved the most exposure from the album and has even been played by electro djs.

Triple x is possibly the oldest sub focus tune on the album with it being played by Andy C nearly 2 years ago! Still it sounds fantastic with a nice catchy synth led opening and heavy sub bass.

Overall then this is a great great album that will certainly stand the test of time and hail Sub focus as one of the finest electronic producers of this generation. Prepare to have your ears tested and also check out the non drum & bass tunes which stand head & shoulders along with the rest of the album.

Chase & Status - Hurt You / Sell Me Your Soul - 16-Nov-08 11:29 AM
Hurt you is one of the finest drum & bass tunes over the last few years. As soon as you hear the vocal you just know that it is something special and the amen break certainly does not let it down but rather enhances the entire listening experience.

The tune is just so uplifting and it also has a rather nice emotional back drop if you listen carefully. A lovely tune and one where i have purchased a second copy for when i wear my original out!

Ed Rush + Optical* - Gas Mask / Bacteria - 03-Nov-08 11:32 AM
Bacteria is absolutely awesome. I love the doomsday intro and the twisted bass is a joy to listen to. One of my fav dnb tunes off all time from the masters of tech dnb. This is also a joy to mix with and i fondly remember when i first picked this up, i had been after it for ages!

Gasmask is a worthy flip tune too with nice atmospheric and a sick rolling bassline. Both tunes are excellent and this is a must have 12" for any fan of the classic Virus sound.

Kemal + Rob Data - Hostile - 20-Apr-08 02:50 PM
Got this recently for £30 and i have absolutely no regrets at all. Kemal & rob were at their peak when they remixed this tune & it was never released due to label politics.

Many people have hailed this as the best tune that Kemal & rob aka Konflict, ever produced and it is hard to disagree with that.

The tune starts with a nice acid type intro and what follows is a immense reece bassline and breaks that would knock the great wall of China down! I recently played it in a set and it sounds so fresh after all these years. I would recommend any hard tech step drum & bass nut to hunt this down as you will not be disappointed.

One of the best drum and bass tune off all in my opinion.

Dylan - Inferno E.P - 20-Apr-08 05:05 AM
No disrespect to the other three tunes but its all about Kemal & Rob datas take on Possession here, and what a screamer it is too!

It starts with a nice hip hop intro with some freaky vocals and then comes the ultra reece bassline followed by a nice konflict break. This is easily one of the best tunes Kemal & rob did togeher along with their ultra classicHostile & the legendary Messiah.

A buy on sight ep for the kemal & rob data tune and one for all the dark heads and especially if you are into the sound of Teebee, Spor, Hive & Gridlok.
