Dillinja

An undisputed don of the Drum 'n' Bass world, Dillinjah has recorded for a downright promiscuous number of record labels under more pseudonyms than a secret police operative during Cold War Russia. Also known as Capone, Trinity, Regulate, and the Specialist, this insatiable producer specializes in a hard-edged yet subtle fusion of brain-twisting breakbeat science and dance floor aggression. Synth stabs whizz through spacious ambient atmospheres grounded by fierce breakbeats, which establish clearly danceable patterns. Zippery, fluid Techstep basslines purr and snarl alongside the powerful beats like a warlord's dangerously wily sidekick, while the rhythms continually spiral off in unexpected permutations without once losing their irresistible forward pulse.
