Editorial Reviews

From URB Magazine

While the jungle sound has fought tooth and nail to stay relevant into the 21st century (especially here in America), DJ trailblazers like Chicago bad boys Danny the Wildchild and Phantom 45 have kept the home fires burning in the city of big shoulders. Drum & bass has never taken a back seat in Chicago, and this pair has a lot to do with that. From perpetually packed club nights to infiltration onto the commercial radio airwaves, they’ve seen to it that subsonic bass lines and double-time rhythms are always in the mix. On these two outstanding releases, the two flex their considerable DJ muscle, showcasing a gritty, street style and crowd-hyping histrionics. For Danny the Wildchild, the flash comes in the form of his lightning-fast scratch madness, cutting up tracks from Mampi Swift, Influx Datum and his own productions like DJ Craze on a case of Red Bull. Phantom 45 is more of a traditional selector, dropping prime productions ranging from the evil tech-step of Bad Company to the euphoric and emotional instant classic that is High Contrast’s "Return of Forever." While he’s not slicing and dicing like his bud Danny, his keen ear for killer cuts and pulse-increasing flow keep it crunk.

5.0 out of 5 stars ....Rocks tha Jungle in 2K2, November 2, 2002

If there is only few drum and bass mixes you should pick up out of the thousands that were made, I would put Phantom 45's mix in the top 10 for sure. The front of the package of this CD reads: --- "showcases a funky new school vs old school Drum 'n' Bass ~ an infectious showing from a true pioneer in the U.S. Drum 'n' Bass scene" --- and I couldn't agree with its author more. Phantom 45 is one of the less recognized jungle DJs in the United States scene often times and his mixes alone can set the record straight for people that doubt his masterful craftsmanship of drum and bass from present and from the past. This is a great album to listen to for a true junglist or someone that is just starting to discover jungle music. If you like this CD, you should also check out Danny the Wildchild's mix of the same name (different mix though)... Peace

2.0 out of 5 stars Why would a DJ mixed cd be tracked out?, April 2, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Fully Sorted (Audio CD)

The track selection on this album is great, but why would you ever track out a DJ mix cd like a pop record? You're ready for the transition to hit and the speakers go dead for 2 seconds before the mix picks back up (often horribly) - are you joking!?

No disrespect, Phantom 45 is one of my all-time favorite DJs (arguably one of the best Junglists EVER), but the production of this album ruins it.
