REVIEWS ARE LOOKING GOOD:
“Ain’t heard a jump up set as tearing as this in time. Big up mate. Check it out peeps.”–Asa S (DOA, Dubai)

“itz bangin’ all the way through. great mix. need a hard copy!”–DJ Whizard (LA)

“You guys have done it again. This mix has not left my cd player since the day after the World of DnB. Great stuff guys, I am proud to say that we have the best D&B crew on the west coast. Thanks for melting my face off once again.”–Danny the Junglist (San fran)

“Quality you’d expect from Formation and the World of DnB. As big a mix as ive heard in years.”–Miss E (yellowboard)

“This is a very well produced and entertaining mix. The tunes are straight raved the fuck out imo (which I enjoy btw). But I really did want to make a point that Colonels MCing is absolutly fucking exceptional on this! Honestly one of the best MC performances on a mix that I’ve heard in a long while. Very original and very diverse. MC’s should take note.”–Odyssey DnB (Monterey)

“It is the fire!!. If you can jungle step in a car while driving, that’s what i was doing in my head on my drive home yesterday. Someone at a stop light asked what I was listening to . . .I pulled the CD out the deck and said here take it, check it out . . .this is some Bay Area Drum N Bass!!”–Hapapride (Bayraves)

“mix does exactly what it says on the tin. Not the type of thing I’d usually listen to (on purpose), but, not entirely unlistenable either, which says more than 99% of the jumpup mixes I’ve heard.”–Focusyn (DOA)

“absolutely ramming mix. 2 Cents and the Compression Crew prove again why they’re the reigning champions of US drum and bass.” –DJ Metrix (Miami)
