DJ Icey – Generate – Review January 1, 1999 Here’s a switch: Lyrics. Hard breakbeat, a few boom-boom-booms, tweaked samples, a healthy amount of space, and thou.
DJ Dara – Full Circle – Review January 1, 1999 Hyperkenetic drums, subterranean bass – yup, it’s drum’n’bass. Cheers go up as DJ Dara seamlessly mixes disparate tracks together.
Dead Voices On Air – Piss Frond – Review January 1, 1999 Because of Invisible, I can listen to gems like this. Piss Frond is a great record. Words are trite and don’t really convey anywhere near what’s here.
Codex – Review January 1, 1999 Laid back, almost ambient, like he’s puffing on Banco De Gaia’s last joint. Post-club for certain.

Battery – Momentum EP – Review January 1, 1999 When Battery started, their voltage was comparable to rubbing socks on a carpet. Now they could power up an electric chair and fry a guy to bacon.

In Strict Confidence – Face the Fear – Review January 1, 1999 In Strict Confidence are a surprisingly smooth sounding unit, leaning towards the more melancholy and atmospheric end of the electro-spectrum.
