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?? Someone wrote...

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. Gb.
