Album Reviews
Given Richard Fearless' moonlighting gig as a DJ, Dead Elvis is invested with an often overburdened need to push the right buttons, resulting in occasionally formulaic tracks -- like the single "Dirt" -- which leave little room for surprise. Where Fearless and Steve Hillier opt to explore different waters, dub rhythms and funky acid instead of just sampled guitar riffs, the results are much more impressive. [BMG International released an 'international version' of the album in 2007.] ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

Tear You Down Brookes Brothers |
| Despite being one of the world's biggest dance sounds, Drum and Bass is often regarded as one of the hardest to break into; just a quick look at the genres most popular DJ's such as Fabio, Grooverider, Hype, Andy C and Goldie and you can check off names that have been around for over two decades. However, 2008 has been a year that has seen new names being added to the Premier League of 'Dee and Bee' with artists like Subfocus, Commix and now The Brookes Brothers enjoying similar recognition as some of the more established acts. Hailing from London, siblings Phil and Dan Brookes first began producing in 2002; exploring the lighter more soulful side of drum and bass often categorised as 'Liquid' and favoured by the likes of High Contrast. This led to a series of successful 12’" releases that not only piqued the interest of the usual Drum and Bass faithful but gained support from DJ's further afield such as Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Pete Tong. Now with the release of 'Tear You Down', their first widely available single, it looks as though The Brookes Brothers are sitting on one of the most in-demand dance tracks of the moment. Expect 'Tear You Down' to be sound tracking frantic scenes of raving everywhere from Universities to office parties in the coming months. | |
