***Bizzy B's follow up to the 1993/94 volumes one and two on Whitehouse Records brings the old-skool sound of hardcore jungle into the new millennium. "Darkside" and "Afraid Of The Dark" both use "Amen" and "Mentasm" to awesome effect-- the catchiness of the stabs and riffs just won't let go, and the breaks are propulsive. But this time the undertow of sub-bass catches listeners unaware. Deep dub waters. Both tracks are being played by Andy C and Bailey. For "Merda Style 2004," Bizzy B pairs up with Equinox (Bassbin, Inperspective, Intasound), bringing the 1993 original up to date with tearing "Acid Rain"-style Amens and deep 808 bass kicks. Currently being rinsed. "Fire" is another deep, bass-y, pitched-down Amen killer with evil, distorted bass stabs that rip any system. Currently being rinsed. "Deep In My Soul" combines soulful female vocals with dub FX and the ubiquitous break; "Strength" has a more jump-up flavor, still retaining the old-skool feel with "Mentasm" and "Outlander" stabs. Currently being rinsed. Bizzy B (Brain / Joker / Sub Base / Whitehouse) was there from day one playing the raves and on the radio (Centerforce, Fantasy, Kool FM, Conflict). He's been releasing records since 1991 and set up one of the most influential hardcore / jungle labels, Brain, which also released the debut material of Peshay, Zinc, and Marc Caro (Technical Itch), among others.
