Subversive
27 February, 2007 Filed in: Trilo
Blending futuristic electro breaks, a few industrial beats, funky grooves and glitches Trilo distorts reality and assaults the senses as well as the dance floor. If his Subterranean mix is a "skirmish in some futuristic underground battle for the apocalypse" then Subversive is the decisive battle.Fractal images from www.Fractal.Art.pl.

Random Record Pull
25 February, 2007 Filed in: STEAM
STEAM are two self-described psychopathic drum and bass junkies out of Los Angeles. Picking up baseball bats and bashing mailboxes in a pickup truck, they're bringing the DnB out of the shed and wielding a chainsaw all the way down the block. It's only a matter of time before they burn down your house. Recorded on 20 January 2007, Random Record Pull is just that - a random pull of records in their collection. It provides an interesting glimpse into two very warped minds.
