"this record is amazing....don't be fooled, buy this cd now....alittle history, yes dj craze has won at the dmc finals blah, blah, blah, blah...not to say that this is not important, but his history w/ dnb is beautiful....i read in an interview that craze played at a "rave" in one of the back rooms, he was still playing hip-hop, then he heard drum n bass...and heard the urban influence in the music...he then started the journey into the wonderful world of drum n bass....the great thing about this cd, is that its not your standard mix of dnb...craze at this point, was just introduced to dnb, there wasn't any time for him to get caught up in the "stylistic" views like most dj's...he doesn't stick w/ one style of dnb, there's jazzy stuff, organic stuff, and dark stuff on the same mix cd...unlike most dnb mixes that have just one theme and can get stale at times, and loose the listeners interest, this mix is a constant breath of fresh air...craze does magic w/ his fingers on the mixes and scratches on this piece...while building a wall of bliss w/ each track thats laid down...this is a "buy on sight" cd...don't miss it....QUESTION: what happens when you mix a turntablist w/ drum n bass? you get a wonderful blend of beats and cutz, bow down to the real mix master, dj craze..."

Should have been better

"Dj Craze is an awesome turntablist, and I was overly excited when I heard that he was doing a d&b alblum. It really turned out pretty mediocre though. There was some scratching at the beginning, but that was about it. I guess I was expecting him to pull more tricks out of the bag. What you have left is a run of the mill d&b mix."
