The Mesozoic Era Showcase - Personally presented by Alaska

Great news for the Good Looking era DnB fans, makes me feel happy in my pants:

Quote:

It's been 4 years since the Arctic Foundations album and a decade has passed by for the fans of the Virtual Virtuosos LP so it's about time Alaska delivered the third chapter to complete the ambient-jungle trilogy.

May 24th 2010 see's the release of Alaska's brand new album The Mesozoic Era.

NERVE028: Trisector & Dejaru - Dead End / Aeon Silicon


This isn't an april fools joke, this is real. A free release on Nerve recordings with 2 tracks from me and Dejaru.

Download them from the Nerve website

Let's hear what the label has to say:

Going back to the Nerve roots with this release - two absolutely brilliant tough n techy rollers from Finland's finest - Trisector & Dejaru. Individually they create a beautiful cacophony of noise - with Trisector releasing on Med School and Dejaru delivering for Vampire Records but together it's an even more beautiful thang.

"Dead End" opens with creepy pads and synth work before a crisp breaks rolls in as a wee warning for the approaching bass, which can only be described as "a bit like that bit in Indiana Jones with the giant ball". It's a tough techy roller and guaranteed to get any decent dancefloor on it's feet and on the go. "Aeon Silicon" on the flip is a dirtier affair, again the trademark quality beats and bass are in place topped off with a grungey synth hook that can only be described as "filth" (in the best possible way).

Absolutely brilliant stuff, for more on these guys and other fine Finnish producers - make sure to check out the Finnish Drum n Bass and Dubstep 2010 compilation.
