INTELLIGENCE
For those who still don't know, Dj Ruffneck is back under
a different a different name, got a new distribution and ditched
some of his producers. Don't worry, the quality is still there
as the E.P. shows.
Two tracks on the slow and dark tip both are excellent,
really original ideas nice noises and totally darkish vocals.
These tracks are as progressive as it can get, definitely
not commercial and pushing boundaries. If you don't buy
this one, shame on you!!! Respect is once again due...
 
Dj the viper
Hardcore gangster
DWARF 44
The A side has two fast tracks which surprised me
in a good way. The viper mix got fast breakbeats,
nice juno melody and then breaks into a (very) long
ice-T bit. Nice track but the Dj promo mix is even 
better and a bit faster. After a very ruffneck sounding
into, the track drops into a wicked juno bit but the best
part is still to come...The track then breaks into an old
skool hip hop part (and i mean old skool !!!) After this
hell breaks loose as a very aggressive noise comes in
and the tracks just builds up and up!!! A very very good
good remix for Dj promo.On the flipside You'll find a
slow track that samples Busta Rhyme's 'Woo-Ah'.
If you like hip-hop, you'll love this release, if not stay
away from it.......

Store and forward

BOOMBASTIC
STYLE
Once again Attic and Stylzz deliver the goods.
This E.P. has got 5 tracks on. The best one for me
is 'Store and forward', after an electro (!) intro, a
very phat bass drum comes in, the track then breaks into
the main noise which is very good. The second track, 
'Chemically infected' also has an Electro intro, good
breakbeat programming and an aggressive stab noise.
The production is as always brilliant. The other tracks
are all in the now typical Attic and Stylzz style and if
you liked their previous releases, you'll love this E.P....
 
Dj YOURI & MON-E
Fast food
POWER BEAT 1
  Back to my homeland of Belgium for this release
straight from Antwerpen. The main track of this E.P.
is already a big hit. It's totally commercial but if you like
this kind of stuff you'll like it very much. What makes this track
successfull is a sing along part close to a Suzanne
Vega track that you'll instantly recognise...The flipside tracks are
average tracks so buy this for the A-side only...
