| 1 :: Teebee vs Future Prophecies
- 'Dimensional Entity'
(Subtitles)
2001 |
|
|
| Sampling the timeless and often use Roberta Flack song ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ (1972) Teebee and Future Prophecies lays vocal on top of nice production. Nice cleanly filtered drone bass and straight beat work. Vocal make the tune and still gorgeous after all these years. |

| 2 :: Trace
- 'Mutant Revisited'
(Emotif Recordings)
1996 |
|
|
| Classic No U-Turn Bassline. It was the sound of the moment in 1996, that dark techstep flavored bass popularized by Ed Rush, Nico, Trace and many others. I receive duplate featuring new remixes of this classic just before this show. I stick with original. Mad Shit. |

| 3 :: Blito
- 'db'
(dubplate)
|
|
|
| Swedish producer Blito lets the bass pound and double up the bar shaking bass. This dark tune lays down old skool piano key builds and synth stabs amid dirty dirty clanging hats and beats. |

| 4 :: Makai
- 'Five Element Ninja'
from 'Millennium'
(Precision Breakbeat Research)
1998 |
|
|
| Vocals play supporting role in this track give you better look at Makai’s talented production. Five Element Ninja vocals reminisce of the Ghost in the Shell sample heavy tune ‘Beneath the Mask’ which was more fantastic work from Japanese composer Kenji Kawai. |

| 5 :: Juju
- 'The Summer'
from 'Transatlantic EP'
(Renegade Recordings)
2001 |
|
|
| This is Juju best release yet. Coming from San Francisco in USA. Dope congo riddims gives tune an invisible stutter step feel. Ill fx. I hope Juju continue to release work with this vibe. |

| 7 :: High Contrast
- 'Passion'
(Hospital)
2001 |
|
|
| Lincoln Barret is one of new generation drum and bass producers. He helping to take drum and bass away from dark aggressive boredom to a more musical dark step. Hospital is one of few drum and bass labels that still maintain a ?ound? The horns and the bassline, they are Hospital. |

| 8 :: Marcus Intalex & ST Files
- 'Lose Control'
(Metalheadz)
2001 |
|
|
| Another next generation producer. Marcus Intalex does the hard steps and basslines the way they should. Hard and controlled, dark but inviting. Very nice. I keeping eye on he. |

| 9 :: Klute
- 'Song Seller'
(31 Records)
2001 |
|
|
| Stunning music from another favorite producer of me, Klute. Beautiful vocal work and atmospherics set atop the the soft bass. Beautiful. Beautiful. Can’t get enough. This is one of my favorite Drum and Bass tune of 2001. |
