Review: Rotterdam's own Prospect Recordings enjoys a huge following and an even bigger roster of mashed-up, dark and filthy artists, and this family album looks to capitalise on some of this artistic wealth. Why not? If you had a back catalogue full of some of the most insane drum & bass on offer to the wider world, wouldn't you want to share it? Littered with breakcore, neuro, gabber and hardcore, it's a whipround through the neck-breakingly heavy side of drum & bass that many fear to tread. Track names like "Skullsplitter", "Total Confusion" and "Death Will Set Us Free" have rarely been so truthfully descriptive, and even label darlings Counterstrike and Bong Ra team up for "Possessed", a feeding frenzy of metal, breakcore and drum & bass. A horror movie for your ears. Nobody's lives were ever enriched by staying inside the chillout room.
Review: Bone crunching techno on this devastating release as Belgian producer Igneon System goes in on a heavyweight collaboration with Lowroller for the Prospect label. Verging on Gabba, "Great Violence" hurtles along at breakneck speed with a stomping, balls out 4/4 rhythm track, this is truly hardcore music for those who know and love it seriously loud. Flipside "Ultimate Weapon" carries more variation in its beats, dipping into D&B territory but never straying far from the formula. Frightening stuff.
