Dj Hypes Drum 'n' Bass Arena

Advantages: good music,various artists, good value for money, enjoyable
Disadvantages: not for absolutely everyone

I have had Dj Hypes drum and bass arena album since around christmas last year, and i am still not bored of it. It has a lot of different artists on it, with a range of different types of drum and bass. I love to listen to this album when driving, tidying the house, or just doing nothing. it is a really good back round album when i have friends round too, as everyone enjoys the music it has on it. I also love to dance to the songs on this album, ...

Review of Drum 'n' Bass Arena Presents DJ Hype (Mixed By DJ Hype) - Various Artists

Are You Sure This Is Real?

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks hold it back

...& Bass and Dubstep musician Sub Focus. Guidford-raised, he first made an impact in 2003, and has continued to make an impression on the Drum & bass world in particular with his own material, and also remixes of other popular artists in the style and other closely-associated ones, but once he made a mainstream impact in 2008, it was decided that he should compile a proper album of his works for the first time, as we get here. 1. “Let The Story Begin” ...
...we find that we have Sub Focus dropping down the intensity a little in order to come out with a little Liquid Funk-styled Drum & Bass. It is extremely soothing, and as long as you engage yourself with it, then you will feel the same towards it as it really doesn’t have any flaws in it when you consider the aims of doing such a track. **Five Stars** 4. “Last Jungle” After building up the momentum, I can’t say that this track did anything other than ...

²p #9 - A trip beyond techno with Tom Jenkinson.

Advantages: jazz 'n drill, drum 'n bass, mind ping-pong & intelligent techno (NOT dance music!)
Disadvantages: before listening to SQUAREPUSHER, a sound introduction to psychedelic, polyrhythmic, progressive electronica is highly recommendable

. Tom Jenkinson a. k. a. SQUAREPUSHER makes the kind of music that might get stressful and annoying at times but which will never get boring or stale. Dabbling in electronic music since 1995, he has since become a master in the art, and is known for his chaffing breakbeats and dentist's drill sounds. However, he also plays the bass and has bona fide jazz influences. Quite often he samples himself to get raw material for his painstakingly constructed ...
...de-constructing and re-assembling rhythms and you'll have to talk about Tom Jenkinson. He is to drum 'n bass what Jimi Hendrix was to rock 'n roll: desecrator of mausoleums, resurrector of spirits, innovator of styles. SQUAREPUSHER might not be as well-known as his label-mate (Warp & Rephlex records) Richard D. James (a. k. a. APHEX TWIN), but he is at least as important in terms of musical endeavours into the hitherto unthinkable. Just about three ...

Review of Ultravisitor - Squarepusher

Chase & Status - More Than Alot, Immense Album!

Advantages: Each song is different and sounds great
Disadvantages: there is one song that isnt very good " foundation skit "

...one of chase and status's more well known songs and quite different to their others. 7) Eastern Jam: Great Dubstep and this song really builds up to the drop and is a great tune. it has an indian style to it and is really good. 8) Foundation Skit: This is a really short Drum and bass interval, it only lasts for about 1 minute and is in the middle of the album i really dont like this song and i think it kills the whole album. 9) Take me away: This ...
...and the mix of what seems to be fast paced drum and bass with hints of Dubstep. Great to listen to and take in the lyrics. 10) Hurt you: a fairly good song. Its just a bit too repetitive, good vocals uswel though. 11) Running: I love the lyrics to this song, the vocals the tune everything! the way it kicks in and out of the drum and bass is really good i also love it when the Dubstep kicks in after a minute or so. 12) Take U there: This is quite ...

Review of More Than Alot - Chase & Status

We are the BreakBeat Kaos!!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: All Star Cast feat. feat.
Disadvantages: --

"2 CDs packed with Drum 'n' Bass legends and enough breakbeat to deafen an elephant for less than a tenner? I'll have it!" Pendulum only mixed this one, and I was hoping it would live up to the pendulum name, whilst I was slightly worried that this would ust contain more mediocre drum 'n' bass numbers. It did live up to the pendulum name, and whilst it is as offending and cruel as Hold your Colour, it has a fresh && Exiting insight into all things ...
