A-Side Of Counterflow (Mixed By DJ Muet) - Various Artists

Advantages: Brilliant seamless songs for 1 hour!
Disadvantages: Each song lasts average of 2 minutes!

...If you're a drum and bass fan you will have heard of DJ Zinc and know that he can produce some absolutely amazing mixes. This album is no exception to the brilliant sounds of previous Drum and Bass Arena's. There really is something for everyone on this CD, there's jump-up, dark and low bass and jazzy. I had this album on repeat in my CD player for about 2 weeks! The DVD features interviews with Zinc himself, a chat with the Metalheadz and Teebee and Calxy's StudioTips. Of course there is a disadvantage in the fact that the tracks are way to short. You get into a track and it finishes, so it would be better if the songs were longer. My personal favourite was Shy Fx- Feelings, which deserves a Top 40 spot. The track listing is as follows- 1. Dezires - Aquasky 2. Now It's Over - J Majik & Wickaman/Kathy Brown 3. Stand Up - Le Funken... Read review

Advantages: Great mixed cd
Disadvantages: none

I highly recommend this well mixed CD. From begining to the end the progression just keeps you moving and grooving. I never wanted it to end. I can't really define the exact genre of the music but it is basically progressive trance/house hybrid. ? ? You just have to hear it you won't be disappointed. DJ Matthew Grim delivers the goods. In the world of generic sounding watered down electronic music it is refreshing to see this DJ taking major chances with his musical selections. It really is a Hypnotic Journey!!!!!!... Read review
