Advantages: Easy to listen to
Disadvantages: all commercial

Before i begin this review i would like to say Mauro Picotto is my idol and the person i aspire to be as he is the worlds best dj. This was my first ever picotto album i bought it when i was around 15-16 this album is filled with commercial music, now to be perfectly honest with you i don't like techy trance djs who release stuff for the charts but most of Mauro Picottos commercial stuff is actually really good but a lot of this album has other ...
...album Mario Piu had a huge chart hit with the vision and if you don't follow this genre of music he has seemingly dissapeared however, he has reinvented himself as a techy trance dj who is actually really good. If you are just starting out on the dj scene i would reccoment you get this album as it's good to get a feel of the commercial stuff before you move on to stuff like meganite. ... Read review

...summer with his new album Reality Checkpoint. It features some of the best of Drum And Bass's sub genres, from Liquid, to Dubstep, With its warm bassed and Random Vocal Samples this album shows that Matt still has what it takes to make wicked tunes.

Advantages: Excellent mixing, sampling, lyrics and blend of an album
Disadvantages: The argument of "What is Dubstep and is this it?"

Untrue is the second album by dubstep producer, Burial. But, first let's get an idea of the genre, dubstep, which, since 2006, seems to be slowly rising in popularity but still leaves most people (including myself) completely confused as to what it is. Basically, dubstep is a genre, which has its influence from the London's garage scene in early 2000 and also a drum and bass feel towards it. But, if you're still confused, then Untrue is a good template ...
...this album with others is difficult, if you're going towards the direction of Massive Attack or Boards of Canada, I would say it's a mash up between those two artists, but, simply put, Untrue is its own unique sound, and its dubstep, but if you are still unsure, who cares. ... Read review

Advantages: 2 killer tracks, 1 fun song + remixes
Disadvantages: It's an EP

Combichrist's genre isn't easy to define but I'll give it a shot: CC is an in-your-face mix of techno, industrial, electro, alternative music and a some serious rock'n'roll attitude. Frontman/producer Andy Laplegua is not a stranger to razorsharp perfection when it comes to producing his music. This release is no exeption to the aforementioned description! We start off strong with the main track of the EP: Sent to destroy! A song which either invites ...
...to destroy, both induced by the adrenaline rush you get from this strong opener. Agressive hooks, beats, basslines and some voice to match! Next up is an instrumental song called The Kill, that immediately greets you with it's pummeling bassline. No vocals, but a lot of sounds/layers/lines to keep you entertained (and moving). It's a very common thing with CC songs, you can keep listening to some of the tracks for ages and you still keep discovering ... Read review
