“Render unto Freshtunes.ca what is Fresh”

June 17, 2006 at 2:17 am · Filed under Amazon.com, cold & clean, Drum & Bass, hard & nasty, minimal

6ixth Session cover

Dieselboy’s Render is an astounding track from America’s most famous D&B DJ/producer. It can be found on the The 6ixth Session, an otherwise uninspiring release. I much prefer his older mix CDs, like A Soldier’s Story, but between 6ixth’s dope cover (I’ve blown it up into a huge poster on my wall) and this one track, I feel I got my money’s worth.

Absurdly funky, yet calculated and synthetic, this track is both organic and flowing, and yet, technological and unfeeling. Beautiful! Try not bopping your head to this unadulterated freshness as you listen… it can’t be done.

Supergrass: Superdope Brazilian D&B

June 17, 2006 at 1:56 am · Filed under Beatport.com, Chillout, Drum & Bass, jazzy

Carlito and Addiction are excellent producers, with many fine Brazilian-style D&B tracks under their belts, and this is their best track so far. Brilliantly executed, chillin’, and jazzy are the four words I’d use to describe this track. I’ve listened to it for 4 years, and it’s still one of my favorites, and I never skip past it.

Killa Bites D&B 2XCD

June 17, 2006 at 1:40 am · Filed under Amazon.com, Drum & Bass, hard & nasty

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!

nCode – Spasm

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.

Bammer – Device

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.
