This twelve inch EP, along with its companion, neatly splits the content of the This Means Forever CD in two (minus 5 songs only available on the CD, that is). This Means Forever, Drop the Lime's debut album, invites all the pop stars of the world to this apocalyptic dance-off. Please step up Mr. Timberlake, Mrs. Spears, Madonna, Usher, even that guy Wade Robson, to "dance or die." 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.
