Detrimentalist by Venetian
Snares
Buy new: $13.99
one of our precious musical geniuses alive on

still the master.

Substance D by Dieselboy

absolutely devastates and twists your head
around. With the VERY VERY best of his many
releases... not to mention probably the most
innovative. What an aggressive drum n' bass set
should be ;) Gotta love the Phillip K. Dick
throwback too.

surprised. ;O
