The latest info on Dillinja (in this months Wax with the free Blech
tape - which I wasn't amazingly impressed with) is that he is currently
signed to a major and is producing a double album. His contract states
he can only release three records a year which aren't on the major. In
reality he releases much more which explains he use of Pseudonyms such as
Trinity, Basic Influence, and probably tons of others that no one knows
about. Most of the stuff on Hardleaders sounds like him... Hes not signed
at all to Ninja or Mo'Wax he just remixes for them sometimes and
provided a track for Headz 2. He also has had releases on Philly Blunt,
Logic and others. Can't wait for the LP. Dillinjas stuff is just amazing.
The most technical jungle you'll ever hear. Mad EQing, loads of
distortion and a weird techno kind of element. Check him out...
As for a discog I dunno all of it but some of his best stuff includes.
Dillinja - Motherfucka/Sky (Philly Blunt 12)
If you see this get it. One of his best ever. Ice Cube samples. Ruff
stuff.
Cybotron feat Dillinja - Threshold (Prototype)
More dancefloor distorted madness.
Basic Influence - Still Waters (Hardleaders)
Another tear out...
Dillinja - The Angels Fell (Metalheadz)
This is a brilliant 12". Three excellent tracks with a more home
listening quality but still keeping it ruff. Mad timestreching
echoeyness. Jah Know Ya Big is the best...
Dillinja/Trinity - Muthafucka/Gangsta Remixes
Not as good as the original, but a passable pair of dancefloor jump
up biggies.
Dillinja - Music (from the Cutting Edge compilation on Epic - also
include a Trinity tune by him which doesn't credit him)
His more jazzy side, with a nice female vocal sample
Dillinja - In The Mood (Mo'Wax)
Again, more jazzy to begin with containing more female vocals (not
diva stuff just snippets) and goes into the most technical roughest outro
section you'll ever hear. Sort of like the record is slowing down but the
beats stay in time. Amazing...
Remixes
808 - Azura (Dillinja Mix) (ZTT)
Lovely ambient, Alex Reecey intro which is great to mix into. Then
the booming drums hit. Frenzied...
Bjork - Cover Me (Dillinja Mix)
Again, a nice ambient intro with sampled high pitched strings and
more tearing breaks as the tune progresses.
Tekken - Windemere (Dillinjas Roll Out Mix)
A real grower, this one. Less ambience and more dancefloor buisness,
but still retaining that excellent listening quality. EQed to fuck with
the beats. More 'Assault on Precinct 21' eerie strings too. Top!

And from Piccadilly records in Manchester as well. About 6.99 per
single and 12.99 per double. They are all still being press according to
demand, so just order from your local import shop...

Buy the album and weep! Its the best thing released this year by far.
His Plug 12"s didn't make much sense to me either until the LP.

Can someone review this, please. I want to buy it but haven't seen it
around yet. I hear there are six trax of downtempo stuff. Is it sort of
lo-fi like the Jega stuff or what??

Are they still going? I hear they are a full band now instead of two
guys and a DAT machine :-)
Every rung their dial-a-song. Very strange....

This is a live mix of the original 'Over the Edge' mix which is
available on the red 'Its Oh So Quiet' CD. It crunches like a bastard in
a LFO Tied Up stylee.

I'm not so sure about this LP. I recommend getting the singles instead
which is where all but one of these mixes has been pulled from. There are
an absolute ton of amazing remixes on the singles including two tracks
produced by the Black Dog (Sweet Intuition and Charlene - both of which
are some of the best Black Dog I've heard, and the singing as usual is
pure brilliance), the aforementioned 'Over The Edge Mix', a Plaid remix
of Big Time Sensuality (which is also the best of theirs I've heard (and
the others have been excellent too)) and Cover Me (not as good). The
Dillinja remix is also featured on one of the Possibly Maybe CD's along
with a smart Photek mix. LFO also remix Possibly Maybe and produce a
track called I Go Humble on the Isobel CD (which is actually 'Shove Piggy
Shove' from Advance with vocals). The Isobel CDs also feature another
Goldie mix which was engineered by Dillinja and features Mark and Dego
from 4 Hero. Theres much more than this stuff too... Phew.

Well expensive at 5.99 each! I want the Plaid mix on vinyl too...
Got to go.
