Dark spooky super-cool jungle/drum and bass electronica. Noise elements border on drill and bass but never cross that line. Old school hardcore and groaning dark synths figure prominently in this Oakland producer’s work. Great stuff, “kickin’ it old school!”

1) low freq rumbling noise w/ basic jungle beat, dark foreboding
2) slightly melodic, straighter jungle/d&b
3) funkier beat, different, more halting, evolves into strange darkness
5) uptempo
6) super cool jungle, dark growl
7) nice dark feel w/ upbeat classic d&b
8) funkier rockish beat and feel
9) slow near dub feel in bass
10) chill funky feel, pretty, builds
11) heavy strange beat, this song is the exception/sore thumb of the group and is super cool, play this if you cant do the “excitement beat”
