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 or dont...

Disadvantages: Each song lasts average of 2 minutes!

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
