Thanks for the info. I just bought that Eleven Phases comp., where the
Detroit techno artists do hip hop. It was a pretty good compilation.
Again I would have to say that Shake's track was one of the best. Sean
Deason's track was very good as well. The Shake track said that it had
been been previously released on KMS. Does he have a few singles on
KMS? I am going to try and get the rest of the Frictional releases, if
they are all still in print.

Shake's track on the True People comp is really good as well. I have
still have to pick this comp up. Interestingly enough, the Juan Atkins
track on that comp was almost jungle. The beats sounded like they were
slowed down d n b type beats.

Wow! Sounds like he should be the next person in the DJ Kicks series.
The Claude Young DJ Kicks is great!!!

For some of those Idmers that are a little hesitant in buying drum n
bass, check out the DJ Krust - True Stories 12". It's pretty
mellow...nice sounds. It's too chilled out for the dancefloor. Exocet
- Demon Seed is another track worth checking out.

Cheers
