Press Reviews RECENT REVIEWS- *"Wow... now this is an old skool mash-up if ever there was one. The Drum track is something that would have taken months to program considering I can't even count how many different drum patterns there are, not to mention the fact that i still can't see any logical pattern in how they're sequenced, Very dope..."* (review of "Virtual") www.dnbscene.com----- *"You have to bear the title in mind when listening to this song, as it kicks off with this really spacey effect that is completely reminiscent of the sound an aircraft makes when it's flying. When the drums kick in, they add a certain tension and excitement which, presumably, is intended to simulate the feeling of an airstrike. The theme is reinforced later on with a break during which a fucking loud flyby sound whizzes past your ears. Top marks for atmospheric trickery..."* (review of "Airsrike")--- www.dnbscene.com. *"Thickness, nicely engineered, and a Kraken remix coming to follow this piece. Liking this a lot."* -Joor/Kodeine, drumandbass.cc.---- *"What really makes the track something special is the atmosphere. Sure, it's easy to simply throw some spacey pads over your track, but here you find more subtle futuristic FX that totally fit into the arrangement - and subtlety isn't something that you find very often in techstep tracks, right? These sounds are mixed perfectly on top of the deep grooving foundation..."* (review of "Ganymede Rising") www.dnbscene.com----- *"Dark Intervals (12" mix), by SUBSTRATA.. is one of the phatest new d&b tracks out of florida... I get great response out of this track, bassheads unite. I just met these two for the first time at the winter music conference where they handed me their first 12" and it's dark and evil o'yah- the two are out of Daytona and i think you will be hearing about them soon."* FLORIDA NIGHT Radio---- *"FL Underground dnb at it's finest. Substrata... have been tearing it up for the past year, with the strengths of two audio anarchists behind the helm. Ripping synths bounce around the stratosphere as the convulted light patterns caused by seismic bass belches creases the landscape. Terrorism on your speakers at a high volume, let this decimate your living quarters. Along the vein of TechItch, UK dnb popping loudspeaker madness. Rolling and obliviating. Guaranteed to raise the hair on your arms."* Intergrated Arts Radio review----- *"Freakishly awesome, twisted..."* TECH STEP Radio---- *"This is one of the best records to come out of Florida in my opinion. If you dont have this vinyl yet, make sure to pick it up!!"* Gridlok, AMERICAN DRUM&BASS Radio---- *"Umm..." THE PAIN STATION Radio (personal favorite review)
