As its playful title suggests, Killy 123 is a move away from the morbid and dark releases proliferating in today's IDM scene. Taking a goofier approach to melody, these upbeat tracks are mixed clean and loud for maximum dance-floor appeal. In "The Days" and "Amarcord Gold," big band remixes and squirty sound riffs tangle within the context of floor-thumping anthems, inviting consideration of the relationship between old and new forms of dance music. "Rad Girl Killy" and "Cutty Throats" revolve around the empty spaces in sound, allowing the main rhythms to unravel over time, balanced by tickly, eerie melodies. Each side ends with melancholic, beatless tracks that express the energy and emotion put into the creation of the harder, dancier tracks on the EP. These songs, "10.28.00" and "Just Don't Make them Cry," are epic ambient pieces that climb towards a digital heaven.

• Upbeat tracks in a Venetian Snares / Squarepusher style
  
• Sure to be heard on dancefloors worldwide

Kid606 turns "Shaken" into a writhing dual 303 acid track; Eats Tapes pitch down the vocals and make a serious bootybass bouncer; Soft Pink Truth replaces all the vocals but keeps the same lyrics on the most disco-friendly remix; while Gold Chains and Original Hamster mainpulate the originals into their own unique styles.

This dangerously energetic EP sounds like pop songs after a machete attack: distorted shuffle kicks, pyschobilly slap back delayed vocals, spooky harmonies and ghostly guitars.

• The perfect stopgap release for hungry fans 'til a full-length album in spring 2006

This Means Forever is as playful as it is serious. DTL's hardcore Italo-killy sound nods to breaks from the days of rave, with timeless time stretches, freestyle squirts, and vocal sweeps sung by himself and guest ghetto-tech MC, Minty. Spending the majority of his childhood spinning classic jungle artists like The House Crew, Congo, and DJ Hype, and singing in punk bands, DTL today combines the two hyper styles of music. Snares freeze in empty spaces while growling basslines, trumpets, cellos and guitars swoon through epic cut and paste archives of sound. With elements of hardcore punk, vocals shout like Fugazi and flirt like Frank Sinatra.

DTL continues to rise in the underground electronic music scene. With a slew of EPs and tracks already released on labels like TB6, Ambush, Peace Off, Broklyn Beats, he has already blown the minds of crowds worldwide alongside pioneer artists like DJ Scud, Aphasic, Doormouse, Kid606, and even Dizzee Rascal's US Debut performance in NYC. This Means Forever is only the beginning for this young talent, but it will definitely set a path forever.

• Fresh electronic / punk crossover
  
• Hyper-kinetic, laptop-fueled lyrical mayhem in Tigerbeat6's fine-ass soundclash style
  
• On tour in spring and summer '05 worldwide with Kid606, DJ Rupture, End and Sickboy
• Contains five songs not on the vinyl EPs!

  Drop The Lime "This Means Forever" (Tigerbeat6)

  For a complete listing of Midheaven exclusive albums available for download from the iTunes Music service, please visit the Midheaven Mailorder/Revolver USA Downloadables page.

"Wake Up Call" opens the album with a bomb of intoxicating dubstep. Over militant beats and bass, Luca Venezia (aka Drop The Lime) seduces listeners with a vocal intro, then snaps the track into a shake-and-break booty frenzy with guest-vocalist, Minty (Glassy Eyes, This Means Forever). Tracks like "Triceratops," "E-Lock," and "Hotsauce Grillz" are heavily influenced by recent stays in Berlin and the UK where Venezia performed at parties like Bristol's Toxic Dancehall and London's Bang Face. "Full Moon Rising," "ButterScotch," and "Coal Oven Fevers," are Venezia's first true verse-chorus-verse pop songs, and while still heavy on the dancefloor, these tracks make We Never Sleep more than just an album for DJs and club heads.

Venezia helped introduce UK grime and dubstep to US audiences with his Bangers & Mash parties and his live sets at Cut Crew's Dirty Down, Dave Q's Dub War, Konkrete Jungle, and a few epic Rothko events. With underground bass music taking off in 2006, Venezia's dark grime, dangerous techno, and romantic vocals make him NYC's obvious new bad boy Sinatra.
