If you like drum and bass music then this album is a must have for your collection! This is Fabio and Grooverider's first appearance on a Drum and Bass Arena Album, and you can see why they are called the masters.
This 2 cd album contains 40 songs, 18 on one cd and 22 on the other. It includes songs by artists like Shimon & Andy C, DJ SS, Dillinja and Format.
Fabio's mixes are upbeat and jazzy, while Grooverider is more into the dark and low bass tunes.
If you know someone who is into drum and bass, or you're into it yourself you will truly enjoy this album.
