Product Description
From Amazon.com
As one of the early supporters of drum & bass in America, Brit ex-pat DJ-producer DB has long promoted stateside D&B. His newest mix CD, The Higher Education Drum 'N' Bass Session, continues this tradition with tracks from up and coming U.S. producers standing shoulder to shoulder with established U.K. artists. Opening with Kazimir's "Memories," a dreamy sci-fi tale featuring Carol C, DB carves a moody pathway with rough, abstract breaks from L.A.'s Pieter K, noisy anarchy from San Francisco's Phunckateck crew, and remixes of U.S. tracks from Konflict, Rob Playford, and Dom & Roland. Though DB's mixing is sometimes inconsistent, his track selection is a refreshing change of pace from the usual drone and bass that populates many dance floors. --Tricia Romano

This ain't no Shades of Technology,

This review is from: The Higher Education Drum 'N' Bass Session (Audio CD)
I've long been a fan of DB's "Shades of Technology." In fact I even bought a copy to replace my burned copy. I decided to check out this one as well, and well, I have mixed feelings. There are some really cool tracks, like the first one, but it seems like this cd slips into a "deiselboyesque" style for the majority. Maybe DB is trying to win back the "hardcore d'n'b fans" with this album, which is chock full of super hype d'n'b (which isn't quite my fav) that's kind of repetitive. This is QUITE a departure from the "ambient jungle" and even the harder tracks that I loved in Shades of Technology. To be honest I'm really starting to like these more hype tracks. They're definetely growing on me... which is why I increased the rating. Just don't expect shades of tech. when you buy this one.

if you're like me, than you don't like too much vocalization when a dj is laying down a good beat. there's a few tracks on this cd (1, 16, and 18) that i have to skip, but the rest is pretty awesome maximalist d'n'b. if there was no chick singing on 3 of the tracks, i would have given this a five-star rating.
