Press Reviews "I don't know jack shit about D&B but I do know what I like, what moves me and what makes my toes curl. 'Creeping Bass' by Phalanx! falls into that category. Great sounds, great beat, great vocals masterfully mixed into what is bound to become a Drum & Bass standard. Don't take my word for it check it out - Diggidy Diggidy Damn fine" DJ Xtreme - 12/10/00...Review of 'Creeping Bass' by Scotty (TITF): "pitter patter of little beats. voice over bass.move over ...slick and smooth.lyricist playa.listen to the ...bass.Has a very late night back room dnb feel. I see a circle of tired dancers, slow motion sweat. All look to the dj... the bass speaks."...Review of 'Skram Da Kore' by Nebula_X - Official reviewer for Drumandbass.cc:"An odd eerie tune with a robot that got whacked up side the head. The bass is spattered with phat sub atomic distortion. The beat gets your ass up on the floor. Don't worry if you feel like a big smiley face bouncing on the walls that's only natural. Heavy and oddly original. Insanely freakish with a happy twist. :)"...Review of 'DeathSteppa on http://www.geocities.com/progressive_media Review Page: "Rating: 9.5 - Review: There is no way to get around it.....this track is just plain stunning. I think any DJ would would gladly kill to have this one on vinyl. The dark bass kick gives off a very tribalistic feeling and does well to set the mood. DeathSteppa has a very underground freestyle feeling to it. The beat has a bit of a jungle tint to it and is quite vibrant and danceable. DeathSteppa easily lives up to it's namesake. It is a far cry from the over-processed candy coated D&B that does happen to trickle down to the mainstream music market. While PhalanX is holding his own on the MP3.com scene, I feel his work deserves much more respect than it is receiving. However, with hard-hitting bass-pounding tracks like DeathSteppa comprising his song library, Drum & Bass domination is only a matter of time. Visit his sight...you wont be disappointed."
