    Top notch Drum and Bass GLR sub label that leans towards the older Jungle sound while predating the Liquid end of things. Plenty of nice intricately crafted breaks, not the usual repetitive boring loops that dominate the later liquid sound and recent drum and bass. You can tell that this stuff was made on hardware samplers and so forth. The music is always inventive with some hefty nods to that Warp artificial intelligence sound and there are some very nice Source Direct/Photek end cosmic Amen jams amongst the label.
    I was lucky enough to get a full set of the twelves and the compilation on vinyl a long while before the prices shot up. They are all good with Control, Future Engineers, Funky Technicians, PHD, Aural Imbalance etc bringing those deep Ambient vibes, without falling into cliche coffee table bland outs. This is seriously deep electronic music of the highest quality!
