Maximize - DJ Shir Khan

Advantages: exceptional
Disadvantages: none

...a true genius in his field, ustad vilayat khan has left a rich legacy of his beautiful music. his style of playing was indeed unique to his own gharana (a household of music that students join to learn) that he was the prime representative for. He knows exactly what he must do to make his playing heart breaking and emotionally overwhelming. the raga marwa is a beautiful raga already, and in the hands of such an expert one can really see the flowers of the terrifying raga blossom out. his death is a huge loss to the world of indian music and one can do nothing but admire how he did in his life time what generations have not been able to do. his sons, now playing as well as him reflect his humble attitude to his music and his love for his sitar and equally his voice. he may have passed away but his music will never be forgotten...

They do still appeal to Hip Hop heads, because Jazzy Jeff's style of production and turntablism encorporates aspects of roots Hip Hop, bringing back the good old... Read review

Advantages: A nice mix between heavy and jungle
Disadvantages: Not as stand out as I'd have wanted

...Ok, so you tell a metal fan you like DJ Starscream and all they hear is DJ and label you as a dance fan. You tell anyone into Jungle that you've been listening to the new album from the DJ of Slipknot and they think you're some weird metaller. And thats where DJ Starscream instantly comes into problems. Starscream is the alter ego of Sid Wilson or 0 of slipknot fame. He has DJed clubs such as the famous Gatecrasher amongst others and is huge in Japan for his Starscream persona, but to most, he is that freaky guy from slipknot. Being that I don't like slipknot this is an odd album for me to buy. However I am a huge turntablist fan and a huge metal fan so someone quite as respected as Sid Wilson doing something I love with added tinges of metal really did appeal to me. Like Necro (rap) appeals to me because of its blending... Read review
