Detroit Connection Vol.3, The (Mixed By DJ Godfather) - Various Artists

Advantages: Fast paced, energetic
Disadvantages: Some tracks boring, repetitive

...I bought this compilation after my boyfriend downloaded some of its tracks from the internet. I enjoyed the tracks that I had listened to very much and at £5 it was a bargain! Especially as there are 56 tracks, which works out at about 11p per track. The compliation has three discs; CD1 mixed by Stu Allan; CD2 mixed by DJ Seduction and CD3 is a mix of bootlegs. Some of the artists included are: Sy & Unknown, Darren Styles and DJ Stormtrooper. The CD design is typical of its genre; a scantily clad raver girl. I certainly wouldn't buy the CD based on its cover design as I do not particularly enjoy looking at it! The track list is as follows: 1. With Every Heartbeat - Visa 2. Weekend (Never Never) - Al Storm 3. Tonight - Darwin & Alison Wade 4. Holding On 4 U - Visa 5. Don't Go - Long, Robbie & Stormtrooper/Kristy 6... Read review

Advantages: A few scarface film samples
Disadvantages: Nearly the whole thing

...Many people have been influenced by the scarface film and the rap genre has especially referenced to it man songs. This is now an official compilation of songs with money, power and respect themes. as you would imagine, all are rap. Put together in 2003, this def jam idea includes songs by Nas, Mobb Deep and Notorious BIG, some made especially for the album some old tracks that just fit. None appear in the film but there are samples and dialouge used from the picture. Tracks Its Mine - Mobb Deep & Nas. Scarface cues used as the sample in this one which was originally put t ogether in 99. A good relevant track to start the album Yeo - Cam'ron. Samples Rush Rush which is used in the film, rush rush get the yayo may be more familiar. best bit about the song is actually the sample with cam'rons raps not adding much but loads... Read review

Advantages: DJ HYPE
Disadvantages: ?

...three great mix cds in one pack and mixed by the legendary dj hype. this cd is full of every style of drum n bass. this is a great way of hearing all styles in one mix set, from jump up to jazzy, dark and ragga and more soulfull tracks. not many people mix all style when djing drum n bass but hype does it and does it well. best thing of all they decided not to have an mc rapping over the tune and this is a great advantage to this cd and just lets the music do the talking. there are also a few vocal tracks on this cd aswell. there are so many styles/genres of drum n bass aspecially in britain [home of dnb] this cd really does all justice. there has some great exclusives versions of tracks on this as well which makes it even more special. everyone should have a copy of this for sure and even people that dont like drum n bass...
