Ultimate Children's Party Box, The - Various Artists

BOX OF DUB-VARIOUS ARTISTS

Advantages: Great dubby sounds
Disadvantages: some tracks are a bit weak

BOX OF DUB-Various artists is a showcase of tracks taken from the new popular Dubstep-future garage genre. This record covers the dubbier side of the scene with names such as 'Skream, Digital mystiks, Scuba, etc) . The tracks are original, with some bordering on strange (Digital Mystikz 'Guilty' is an example). Overall the quality is very high and rather enjoyable. The record kicks off with Digital Mystikz 'I wait' which is a lovely stripped down Dubstep drum workout with minimal synths and subs. skream shines on this record and features on two tracks. The first is 'Sub Island', a detailed drum workout over minimal but heavy sub bass and an even more minimal pad sound which suggests the tropical island feel. Skream's other track is a well known dubby jump up number which has featured on underground radio and is a sure hit. Other tracks ...

Ultimate Drum And Bass Album - Various Artists

Advantages: loads of tracks
Disadvantages: some seem quite dated

A six CD box set which showcases a huge selection of tracks from the drum and bass scene. Drum and bass has gained huge popularity over the years and has gained alot of followers thanks to its breaknecks speeds of drums, bass and sample ridden madness. These tracks show you what is all about and my gosh there is alot of them. The tracks span right back to the early nineties and some can sound very dated but interesting nether the less. Producers which stand out on the album are the big heavy weights such as 'Dillinja' with his awesome track 'Grimey' with its huge pitch bending bass synth and the unforgettable vocal sample, this one will keep you going till the early hours. Then there is J-magik, with his equally powerful but more jazzy power rhythms. If your a fan of this hi speed music you will defenitely find this box set ...

MATURE CHEESY HEAVEN

Advantages: GREAT PARTY TRACKS
Disadvantages: SOME NOT SO GREAT TRACKS

I'am well known to throw a party once in a while, the thing is my parties are usually a bit crazy to say the least. My house is usually full of adults in fancy dress, playing childrens party games, singing karaoke and downing quite alot of alcohol. It's always such a good laugh and people always come back again and again so I must be doing something right. Anyway, a few months ago I was shopping at Tescos when I noticed The Ultimate Cheese Party CD and I thought it would be perfect for my parties and my sons birthday parties. The cd cost me 12.99, which I think is pretty good as it has 3 CDs. TRACK LISTING CD1 1. VILLAGE PEOPLE - YMCA A classic party song that will be around for years and years. This is one of those songs that you hate, but when you here it say " I LOVE THIS SONG " RATE 8/10 2. KYLIE - I SHOULD BE SO ...
