...latest compilation album from Britain's most popular dance music radio shows, but the first to receive an American release. And the debut is a colossal effort: over 150 minutes of dance mix featuring the mixing skills of two of the industry's most popular DJs, Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold...
...Master found himself substantially upstaged by the self proclaimed Godfather of Noyze, Rahzel, the human beat box of Philadelphia's legendary Roots crew. Fresh off the release of his millennial album, Make the Music 2000, Rahzel's performance made modern technology, and DJs like Mike, look purely superfluous. Who needs turntables, after all, when you've got someone who can loop James Brown and scratch KRS-One's "Step Into a World" with his mouth and a microphone? And why limit yourself to music? In addition to crowd pandering chants like "Where my weed smokers at?" Rahzel...
...drug ecstasy included a photograph of a woman dancing [DRUGS, March 13]. I am that woman. Although the caption says ecstasy can keep kids dancing all night, I was not on any kind of drug.

Under the Bedrock recording name, he released "For What You Dream Of" from the Trainspotting soundtrack and "Heaven Scent," both of which were hit singles in the U.K., while his mix albums under the Global Underground label were both commercial...
...latest double mix album, Bedrock (and indeed, quite a few songs from the night found their way onto his playlist), but listening to the album is nowhere near as fun as hearing him live, even if it's a good recording. Perhaps what the night proved was that DJs--more than any other kind of musician, perhaps--are not suitable to export by compact disc. Lucky thing they can afford airplanes...
