Sure...you might want to check out other tracks by the three people
responsible for the engineering on every one of the Ed Rush, Trace and
Fierce releases in the last 5 years:

Nico (No U turn releases plus Locust/Killamanjaro/etc)

Dom (the Raven, Sonar, Mutant Revisited and more)

Optical (Virus/31/V cuts plus lots of remixes)

These three guys have been responsible for so many wicked tunes it makes
my head spin!

A few others that I'd also recommend are:

Dillinja (the absolute DON of dark shit, IMHO)
Doc Scott
Future Forces Inc.
The Ram crew (Ant, Andy C, Shimon, etc)
The Precision guys (Makai, Ono Sendi, etc)

Hope that helps!

peace out,

brock out.
