Dom & Roland’s Killabites 2xCD is an excellent mixed UK drum & bass album, from the glory years of drum & bass, back in 2000. Hard, nasty and raw, this foray into synthetic urban sounds is perhaps the best compilation of its kind.

nCode’s track Spasm is my all time favorite nasty drum & bass track, and Dom’s mixing of it is beautiful. Everything I look for in D&B… flawless!

Other favorites on this album include Bammer’s track Device, a weird, quirky and playful track with hard hitting bass notes and floaty, ethereal overtones finishing the piece. Also, Exile’s Fatal Exception is caustic and nasty… pretty much just distorted stereophonic noise pulsing and flashing and twitching.

The beauty of this album is that I’d never heard of any of these tracks prior to buying this album several years ago. Dom avoids many of the usual, caned-to-death classics of the time and offers a well mixed, eclectic but excellent 2 CD compilation. This album earned my respect for Dom.
