This is a very fucked up record. I'm still not sure quite what to make of it, but I like it. /:)

Chain Reaction is on. It's a BC sub label fueled by guys that aren't BC. Thomas Koner is in there along with a bunch of the Hardwax guys. 14 and 15 are both great as well (one's Porter Ricks I think and the other is Monolake). gotta keep that Basic Channel thing goin on. now if I can just find Burial Mix 01 and pick up the Porter Ricks cd, I'll be set.
