Lemon D and Dillinja make a great DnB album together on their Valve Record label. Dillinja, as always, comes with his up-in-your-face driving bass lines, and Lemon D comes with a more melodic approach to production.

What is great about this CD is it comes with mixed and unmixed versions of the songs/tracks, which you don't get if you have bought the Killa Hertz album on vinyl; and you also get a bonus DVD as well. Now you can finally see the infamous Valve soundsystem, if you haven't seen it live.

A good album with many good tracks, even though some may be a little too repetitive after hearing it numerous times -- like Program One.
Overall, a good investment.

Dillinja and Lemon D have put out another disc of amazing drum n' bass! It's always amazing that Dillinja doesn't enjoy the same popularity in the USA as he does in his native UK. That serves to make his CDs pretty pricey, but don't worry - it's more than worth the money. Dillinja has come a long way since the gritty days of Warrior Jazz and Thugs. While those tracks are classics, the new material is immaculately produced and has some of the most amazing bass production I've ever heard. If you own a subwoofer, you MUST buy this album immediately! It doesn't matter what your system is - sealed box, ported, bandpass, it all sounds great. Certain tracks work better for different systems and, chances are, you'll find something that really shows off your system.

The songs are nothing especially groundbreaking. They typically begin with 1:30-2:00 minutes of introduction before the drums and bass kick in. These tracks aren't the most amazingly developed compositions, but that isn't really even the point. They hit and they hit hard. Nothing but amazing drum n' bass.

As with Big Bad Bass, Killa Hertz comes with a mixed and unmixed disc. As an added bonus, there is also a DVD containing interviews, live footage, a montage showing the Valve Sound System, and a really insightful song-by-song commentary where Dill and Lemon D say a few words about their respective tunes. The disc is supposed to be NTSC compatible, but I haven't been able to get it to play in any of my DVD players other than my computer. This leads me to believe that it IS region 1 compatible, but not NTSC. You should be able to play it in any computer. Just don't be disappointed if it doesn't work with your TV.

This is an awesome release from two of the coolest drum n' bass producers on the planet. Check it out!

Really good cd of drum and bass. It makes you want to move I guess. It pumps you up. Worth getting if you like bass.
