Four Tet-Pause(2001)
Spawned from the urge to do something apart from his post-rock band Fridge, Kieran Hebden's Four Tet project balances organic and programmed sounds. Hebden formed Fridge with Sam Jeffers and Adam Ilhan while still in high school. When Fridge went on temporary hiatus for Jeffers and Ilhan to attend college, Hebden spent time playing with ideas gained from hip-hop and electronica that he hadn't had time for while concentrating on the band. Eager to experiment, Hebden bought a computer and began collecting drum and sound samples. Though his tracks sounded contrary, Hebden produced them all in his flat using only his computer to loop, slice, and paste downloaded samples and rhythms. This is a one of the results. Enjoy!

Cujo-Curfew Ep(1995)
Born in Brazil, Cujo traveled a lot across Europe during his youth. When he was 17 he began experimenting with his own sounds with a sequencer. Aftre two years he spent in Portugal, he settled in Brighton and made a number of recordings for Ninebar Records as Cujo. Then he signed to Ninja Tune Records under his real name: Amon Tobin. His works built the bases of famous Amon Tobin style: a melt of dark drum'n'bass, jazz and films samples with less sophistication.So this is Cujo/Amon Tobin's first release in 1995. A friend had been telling me about "Cujo" stuff for years before I got a hold of it. Wow. This is his more... Nu-Jazz, Downtempo stylee cuts and there fresh. Yeah buddy.

Dj Pain-Road To Oblivion
Lets start things off correct with a soundscape from Dj Pain. This is Definitely My Favorite mix to date from Dj Pain. He always seems to be a couple five years ahead of the curve. So if your looking to catch up in the realm of drum heavy hip hop beats, this is where you would do it. There are classics like Attica Blues and Dj Vadim to newer beatsmiths, such as Elektro4 and MHE. The backbone of dark and ecstatic drum music is entertained by a very thoughtful and cinematic storyline with some pretty serious political overtones. Pain's seemless mixing and rinsing style will leave you scratching your head, pondering if that really just happened. It Did! There is anger, comfort, peace, angst, wreckogning and redemption in these 65 minutes of pure genius. Whether your a dj, producer, emcee, artist or music enthusiast, your going to more than enjoy this mix...Tracklisting
